Thanks. I’ve ordered a couple of pairs and will see how we go.

Thanks, we have a Matalan near so will have a look.

Should have mentioned that I’m UK based.

Hi all. So along with prediabetes came peripheral neuropathy. I’m looking for socks that work in keeping my feet warm and helping to keep them healthy. It’s a nightmare when you look on line so I’m wondering if anyone can recommend any that work? As ever help and advice greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks, Tee2 folk have sent me a bottle of testing fluid for the meter.

Hi . So I have got myself a TEE2 + monitor. Very new to this so please bear with! How do I know if it’s accurate? Are there kits to prove it? The reason I ask is that my recent Hba... test put me at 39, a slight rise since my low of 36 last year. I’ve put this down to a lockdown weight rise...

Thanks for the suggestions. So the almond flour cake, going to take a bit of getting used to. Texture is a bit like a Madeira sponge. But not sweet. I can see a use for double cream here! Had a quick look around for 100% dark chocolate, not easy to find.

I find the most difficult part of a low carb attempt, is my morning coffee. Not the coffee! But having or not having a biscuit or similar with it. I was shocked to find that the tiny Lotus coffee biscuit I was having, has nearly 6 carbs in. Two in a pack, so....... So I’ve just taken out of the...

Low carb pancake sounds good!

Hi all. So due to rising weight I’m back on the low carb route. A week in and already the signs are good on the scales. However, I find that breakfast is the most difficult time to deal with. A week of omelette, scrambled, boiled eggs has left me hating the sight of an egg! The alternative for...

Thanks! I’ve ordered a TEE2+ . Appreciate your advice.

Hi, have decided to purchase a meter to help track blood sugar etc. It seems a minefield online trying to find consistent reviews. Can you recommend a good one obtainable here in the UK? Not overly expensive either! Thanks.

Very interested in this thread. Four or so years back I started with peripheral neuropathy plus a dry mouth at night. This was thought to be related to a lack of B12. I started a three monthly B12 injection. Two year back I was diagnosed as prediabetic. Through the help on here I turned that...

Yes, I was surprised to read of a Chinese trial this morning, saying that one egg a day can lead to type 2. My own experience has been that a low carb diet using lots of eggs has sorted out my pre diabetic condition. Go figure!

And there I was, thinking it was just me! Thanks everyone for your honesty. The fight back starts today! B.

So, I have a hill to climb! It’s been soooo difficult over this holiday to maintain my low carb regime and I know a few pounds have crept back on. Family, friends and visitors have served to upset my routine. How do others manage? Brian

Wishing you all the best with it! For me, I had put two stone on over three months and was pretty sure my 42 was weight related. The low carb diet worked for me, maintaining it is a real challenge.

So this week I had a check on my HbA1c. In April I was told I was pre diabetic at 42. With loads of encouragement from this forum I ignored the diet recommended by the DN and embarked on a low or non carb regime. Me weight fell off and I went from 16 stone 10 lbs down to 15 stone. This weeks...

hi, I’ve been told the lack of sensation in my feet is due to peripheral neuropathy, however it’s not due to my Pre diabeties but rather a vitamin B12 deficiency. As such I’ve been told it’s non recoverable. Has anyone had this issue and if so found anything that has helped? Thanks. B.

Hi, you are not alone in struggling to find variety at breakfast! I’ve found a low carb cracker in Lidle. Rivercote rye crispbread. It’s only 6 carbs and with various spreads makes for a change.
