I remember coming back from holidays in Sicily when going through customs I was called out of the queue and taken to a room. There the customs officer understood that I was diabetic and needed insulin/pens/needles etc but why so much, how long was I away for. I explained I liked to bring a...

When I did the carb counting course we were told that peanuts didn't count as carbs as they were a protein. But I still count them as they always affect by BS

I've just had a look at the new cookbook on line and was wondering: the courgette and sprouts recipies why is the carbo content of these so high. I thought courgettes and sprouts were "free" foods and can't see what else in the ingredients that would make them so high Also I cannot find...

HOLLAND and BARRETT. And they do special offers. Sometimes with another product for 1p

One of my consultants said years ago it couldn't do any harm (I'm type 1) so I decided to try it and yes it did improve my bloods sugars for a while but as with my sugars they can be good for a while and then just change back to highs again. Holland & Barrent regularly do the buy 1 get one...

I'd bring it back to the shop and complain and hopefully get a refund. Then you could buy a new one on Amazon when you aren't in a rush. Would it have been a faulty batch of "tins". I have only one silicone loaf tin but find my cakes don't seem to cook as well. Also as they are made of...

Irish Diet Yoghurt? I'm from Ireland is it called Glenisk? If so it is yummy

Hi to all those who wrote those posts - here's another one to join you. When I started reading them I thought I'd written them myself! I did really well in my blood sugars the last 2 weeks and exercise and managed to put ON 2 kgs. I was so disappointed. But I've stuck with it and no cheating...

I've been on insulin for about 35 years now. My blood sugars have NEVER been stabilized and doctors always say I must be doing something wrong. I've been advised to go on the pump "it will be wonderful" so I'm on a waiting list for 2 years now. Some days I feel I'd love to be on it other days...
