You know what UHT stands for - Utterly horrible taste

Frequently. I do follow the Low Carb idea but just cut down. I suppose I am on about 130-140 but I am gradually losing weight (from about 21 stone); I feel fine and my readings are generally about 5-6 after my main meal.

I too am a pensioner and recently diagnosed as type 2 diabetic. I had been pre-diabetic for some months and then a blood test showed that I had 'progressed' past the pre stage. I then realised that each morning (including before having blood tests at the surgery), I was having a big glass of...

Please don't criticise those trying to help. None of us are perfect

I can't remember what they were offhand but my readings are going in the right direction. A little bit of what you fancy does you good so they say

Two satsumas after lunch each day and 100ml glass of Tropicana with extra juicy bits before breakfast. My readings are still going in the right direction so they are not too bad for me. I did have 1/4 pineapple in my first week after diagnosis and that sent my reading up to 11.9 so sadly, no...

Just cutting down on the carbs but not going mad. I was eating sweets every night and ice cream after dinner. Sweets out and really like the Danone Light and Free yoghurts instead of the ice cream. Cut out rice and pasta (pearl barley instead) and just one sandwich at lunch using Kingsmill...

I too have lost about that in the first 4 weeks. I've gone from 144Kgs to 137.8Kgs. It has helped keeping a food diary and taking blood to find out what affects me worse. The biggest shock was my beloved Tropicana orange juice with extra juicy bits. I was having a big glass of that each...

I tried the vanilla last week and wasn't keen. Not the proper ice cream taste. I prefer those Danone Light and Free yoghurts -particularly the peach

I really appreciate your replies and help. I thought it was confusing at the start - I'm even more confused now. Again, I really do appreciate your help Kindest regards Paul

I'm a newly diagnosed Type 2 but I am trying and slowly getting to grips with things but please tell me; why if I have a meal one day, it gives me one blood sugar result and a week later, exactly the same meal gives me a totally different reading? I'm cutting my carbs down but last week, had a...

I am a newby to all this finger pricking stuff but I am slowly getting used to things. My biggest problem is breakfast. I am on the low carb diet which seems to be working (so far). I don't want my wife to end up cooking three times a day (I tend to leave more mess and pots so she kindly does...

I bought one of these about 10 days ago. I am a silver haired (well bald actually) tech lover. I have only been recently diagnosed with type 2 and wanted something to keep an eye on things. The blurb said that it was suitable for the iPhone 7 but I couldn't get it to connect. I contacted...

For 70 years, I've managed perfectly ok. I know I'm overweight but it has never really bothered me. I've now been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I've asked a friend who suffers and he makes it sound so complicated. Everywhere I look and read, it all sounds complicated. I want something...
