I’m fairly new to the diabetes scene - I was diagnosed in June 2018 but found out I was pregnant in July 2018 so was put on Insulin and very closely monitored until I had my baby in March 2019 Since having DD I have not looked after myself with regards to food I have recently gone back to work...

I used a chicken breast as my pizza base the other day and loved it I just bashed the breast flat and pan fried until cooked then topped with passata and cheese and pepperoni - lovely :-)

Normally my sugars are about 6or7 (apart from first thing in the morning due to what I’m calling dawn Phenomenon) - I don’t have the diabetic specialist number & the normal diabetic nurse is booked up months ahead! I will try call again in the morning and chat to a receptionist

Well I called the docs and I’ve got a booking in appointment on 15th August and nothing was mentioned about seeing the diabetic nurse as I have an appointment on 17th!

Maitai- give yourself some time - I was diagnosed only 7 weeks ago and still feel embarrassed that I have type 2 Did you have any symptoms before your diagnosis? I didn’t and the diabetic nurse is now suspecting MODY - it could be something to look in to due to your age (I’m 10years older than...

I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes about 2 months ago and have just done a pregnancy and it was positive My sugars are not under control - I’ve got an appointment with the specialist diabetes nurse on 17th Aug - do I need to see doctor before hand? Or just tell DN at my appointment? I did...

I had an appointment with the DN on Tuesday and she has transferred me to the diabetes specialist who I am seeing in a couple of weeks as she suspects I have MODY as I’m 31 and presented no symptoms (apart from some issues in the private region(not thrush)) I have been testing more often to see...

Oranges or anything that is flavoured orange!

Thank you everyone - food for thought! I will have a go at some suggestions I like the idea of a warm salad :-) We currently have tomatoes growing at the caravan so will try some of those to see if my tastebuds have changed! I think I need to get a bit more organised! Thanks again :-)

Has anyone got any recommendations for a spiraliser? I’m looking on Amazon and there are so many different types which is leaving me feeling quite lost! I’m in the UK Any type I should steer clear of? We currently wash up by hand as no dishwasher (although hoping to get one soon) so easy...

Plodding along slowly here . . . I am still battling with food (living in a caravan for another month) and whenever I look at what others are eating or recipes etc there is always salad Problem is I have never liked salad I think lettuce/green leaves taste like grass, I dislike raw tomatoes...

Thank you To clarify the meal I had that BG went from 7.6 to 9 was butternut squash ‘chips’ a salmon fish cake and a couple of pieces of chicken My lunch time meal was the bread - this was the only choice I had as it was a works buffet lunch (I hadn’t eaten breakfast either) I believe I have...

I hadn’t thought of a dehydrator - sounds interesting - thank you I did wonder around the supermarket the other night and purchased meals in tins for grabable meals My husband has now not cooked me a meal since I’ve been diagnosed (he is the stay at home dad/ house husband) I will stock up...

Hi there I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 3 weeks ago and I feel I already have made progress but I’m curious about timescales if someone could help? In 2013 I had gestational diabetes for about 3 weeks (picked up after a urine test at 36 weeks) and was put on metformin and given a monitor...

Thanks everyone Great ideas to get me going Unfortunately I do not like salad - I love veg - but all the wrong kinds (root veg). I have been making a point of trying but still not liking it at all! I will give pork scratchings a go again (I’m not a lover of fat on meat - or skin!) I will have a...

Hi I was diagnosed with T2 a couple of weeks ago and have made great strides in changing my diet already but one thing I’m struggling with is easy grabable meals Before diagnosis my easy grab meals were mugshots or micro rice or a sandwich or toast I will also add that I’m currently living in...
