Oh the delight of cold feet..mine are always hot..especially in bed!

I am on One Omeprazole at night with my main meal. I have been on them for years since suffering with gall stones and acid reflux. I did wonder if they are the reason I had no problems when starting Metformin in January.

You have lost 4 stone and your levels are down to 37. You are clearly doing something very right. Well done you!!!!!!! Your next test will be very soon. Perhaps see where you are then before changing anything. But it seems you are already in control here.

There are some good recipes for cheese crispy things on the keto recipe pages on Pinterest. Never tried them myself as use pea snacks from Aldi as my substitute.

I mostly live in Croc type flipflops in the summer. MyDN was not impressed. However, I was wearing my gardening shoes when I banged my big toe on a cast iron garden ornament...thank goodness! It still went manky tho, so had it checked out..all good, but will probably lose the toenail.

I have this coming up next month. Makes me feel a bit less worried about it,tho I cannot stand my eyes being "touched".

When looking for food at service stations, the best bet for me has been cooked chicken pieces, salad pots and boiled eggs.

I would suggest that a cheap gas BBQ would be ideal...with a gas ring on the side if possible. You can then cook almost anything. This will last thru the build and be there for afterwards. Another idea is to prep everything for your slow cooker, put it in fridge, the night before and get OH to...

I have recently bought Beach shoes similar to the Gul ones...in Aldi. Cheap as chips and do the job on stony beaches. Sandy beaches I still enjoy walking barefoot. Many beach supplies shop in U.K. Seaside resorts sell these wet suit type shoes with rubber/ plastic soles for under £10. Cornwall...

Well I was very pregnant in the summer of 76. Having my own internal central heating, the excessive heat was unbearable. I remember barely sleeping and spending night time often sitting in the garden! I have a fan on all night as cannot get much through my windows. No idea as to BG as I don't...

My husband is not a salad lover, but will enjoy a slaw made with chopped red and white cabbage, celery, spring onions and some grated carrot. Toss in some feta cheese sometimes, or grilled halloumi, olives,red pepper etc. Good quality sundried tomatoes just a few chopped strips add a piquant...

Brilliant results. All respect to you. Glad you didn't let her bully you. My DN is a retired nurse who does the clinic once a fortnight. She still works on the Eatbad plate rules and hasn't got a single clue about LCHF. I told her she needed to get the Xpert book that goes with the course that...

My DN had a fit when I mentioned LCHF ( as per my Xpert course and here) because of my cholesterol levels-5.5 and on statins, at last reading. I have been mixing it up a bit, with some low fat yogs, skimmed milk as I prefer them, but the avocados, smoked salmon, eggs, the occasional butter...

Have discovered Pea snacks at Aldi. Red Thai Chilli are 10g per bag,Malaysian Spciy Curry are 8.7. I find these are just enough in a pack to take the edge off when needing a snack attack.

I think that is brilliant...and in two months too. You must be doing something right. I started at 74 in January and my first blood test in June had me at 49. Other results showed good improvement too. Diabetic nurse was really pleased( not as much as me!) She said carry on doing whatever you...

My DN also dismissed the LCHF or Mediterranean diets recommended on the X-pert course I attended. Despite me being told and reading in the handbook that saturated fats haven't been proved to cause high cholesterol, she advises the "old way" as I am on Atorvistatin. With a reading of 4.67 this...

I had joined the surgery website hoping to get the results there..but they don't support showing test results. Anyway...went to see DN this morning and she was very pleased with me. HbA1c down to 49 from 74, weight, Tryglycerides,Total chol all down! Yay! Looks like I am doing something right...

Diagnosed with T2 in January, I have had to chase my surgery up for everything. My doctor forgot to refer me for the Expert course, until I phoned and asked the surgery when I was going. I didn't even know they had a DN until the lady leading the course told me they had one. Another phonecall...

I don't have a sweet tooth but these look as if they could be tasty.
