Sue - if it's because of BMI - then it's simply a weighing issue You tell it your height when you set yourself up and so weight and height give BMI. The only pulse up through my body was my imagination! :shock:

Martin - it's great - my lad has been using it without issue with his trainers on - although I never read why it tells you to go bare feet or socks only!! - the great manly way of switching things on - chuck the instructions!! I also have a go - when everyone else is in bed!!

Oh yes - get them from cnet.com and justsearch for the apps

I swear by 2 cleaners for my PC - both free - something to do with being Scottish! <b>CCleaner </b> is a really good disk cleaner - and get's rid of the cookies (especially good for us!) I run it once or twice a week, although I'm driven this way to avoid all the tracking cookies. I use...

Sparkle - sorry but it is not the manufacturers who define the safe consumption limit - it is the result of the tox testing. Strangely enough it is well known that consume too much of anything and it will kill you - too much carbs - too much fat - too much sugar, etc, etc. And before we get...

Thirsty is so right about cold and influenza - the common cold is as it states common - and sadly too many folk who get it call it flu (suggest it's a physocological thing where folk who stay off work try and justify it, or want some sympathy) <b>Influenze is a nightmare </b> - once you've...

I've not got any real skin in this discussion - maybe except fully support Martin's comments, that each diabetic should know what foods affect their BG levels by testing But Fergusc - *** <b>please </b> stop looking back and using anecdotal evidence about our ancestors diets, obesity, and...

I have to say that I like this site and find the discussion topics helpful on the whole. On the other hand I can see where AnnieH is coming from - as I've said elsewhere, the name "cure" from Carefix is somewhat misleading, and his conspiracy theories can be annoying. BUT, let's be totally...

Hi - I also take the amlodipine at 10mg - no issues or problems in the last couple of years - except the packaging is a bit big. Don't know if it's working or not - they put me on amlodipine a couple of years ago and reduced my atenolol from 100 to 25 because I was always falling asleep. The...

Hi all Adrian - walk the dog as far as you can and find new walks - it was brilliant for me. I live in a rural area in NE England - last year discovered all sorts of wildlife I never knew existed here - just because the dog became my best excuse for exercise. Wife told me off for walking...

Sugar - Thanks for time to make comments - this make me feel better and much what my DN was saying. I'll always go with the advice I'm given - but sometimes am never sure that they have got it right Cheers

Just had my 6 monthly check up and everything seems good - HA1.. of 5.8, weight relatively stable. Nurse was all positive - except my blood pressure - 135/85 if I remember right. I have been taking atenolol (25) and Istin for years for my blood pressure, and now the nurse has insisted that I...

and I meant to say in anecdote - how many aromatherapists do you see at a major accident - rubbing lavender oil onto people to sooth the pain of a severed leg / arm, etc, etc. I'll stick to the morphine anyday if I ever have to go through that trauma

OMG - this thread has driven me up the wall I think Flybywire asked a good question in the first instance about John, his credentials, claims for "the cure", etc, etc. Frankly I was saddenned by the original responses to FBW. Now it turns we are looking for a controlled trial to support...

8 - an hour after eating porridge - frankly I would be more than happy. 8 - as a fasting - pretty annoyed So Annette - see what the fasting result is - and ask GP to do HBA1C - much more relevant. If you can test yourself - take the before eating result and the 2 hours after eating...

Hi - sounds very difficult for you all. I am 42 with 4 kids (under 11)and I have been motivated to control both my diabetes and drinking, by thinking about the future and what I will miss if I don't - that almost sounds really depressing! - but actually I don't want to miss my kids growing...

Caravan in Gt Yarmouth early April Summer - depends on money and weather - if we get a scorcher, I'll be in UK camping. Fingers crossed

Too much of a generalisation - it's got to be a combination of both unless you have specific issues to deal with. I am more concerned if my BG is going too high than if my weight is increasing, i.e if my A1B.. was to go start increasing I would be really annoyed wheras if I put on 1 stone, I...

I am T2 diet controlled - didn't tell DVLA because of info on web - did call my car insurers, and 2 seperate companies both said they couldn't record the fact that I had T2 as it would be discriminatory. Re life insurance, etc - I haven't told any existing insurers.

Not sure about all this stuff on sugar-free sweets - the laxative effect puts me off - and not convinced that reduced sugar chocs at that price make any real difference. Would be interested in advice and opinion of everyone - what I have done is to stop snacking between meals altogether...
