Well done!!!!!

I am prescribed both Metformin and a statin but i take neither. Metformin gave me chronic stomach issues. I was intending to use it as a meal replacement. So it could replace lunch some days when I am so busy with work or I don’t have any food in. I have tried it for two days, it tastes good...

I saw this slim fast keto range in Boots at the weekend. I decided to purchase and will give it a try for a week or two. I wondered if anyone else has tried this range? Has it worked for you? Is it suitable for type 2 diabetics? The range also features snack bars as well.

I can’t help.... but I also mentioned what I suspect to be neuropathy to my doctor. And he was equally as dismissive, I have only had diagnosed diabetes type 2 for 14 months but he seems to think I can’t have it. But my fingers and feet tingle. It certainly makes me focus on keeping my blood...

Good luck!

Some interesting answers on this thread. Can I ask, when would be the best time to test to see a beers effect on my blood sugar.... Would it be 2 hours after the beer? Or perhaps the morning after? I test for food but am not sure how or when is best to test to see the effects of a drink on...

As a Colchester fan, we have achieved our goal Of survival..... our two best players are missing due to ‘personal reasons’..... I think we’ll at best get a draw. You should beat us and in a way I’d hate to stop your season now we have nothing to play for. Good luck in the play offs if you get...

That’s clutching at straws...... I could understand if the season was curtailed in some way, but all games played and all teams suffered the same issues. Would undermine the competitiveness of the league.... and if there’s no relegation from league two, there can’t be relegation from league one...

Giving up smoking was so hard for me. However, it gets easier and quickly. These 32 hours are done and behind you, moving forward it will get easier. Just keep reminding yourself that the anger and issues you are having now are BECAUSE you smoked, not because you have given up. Very shortly...

Chicken is a good meat? I eat loads of it! Have you tried cauliflower rice? I mean for me cauliflower is awesome (before diagnosis I NEVER ate it at all.... now I love it. You can roast cauliflower, or chop it up as a rice substitute? Greek yoghurt is a good one? Maybe a cheeky square of dark...

Come on Carlisle!!!!

Thanks for that!!!!

Oh and please beat Southend tomorrow!!!!!

Correct! I thought our win against you was a turning point..... it wasn’t. Then I realised your form at the time was awful as well!

My boys have named a new manager, the third person in five weeks to take charge. We’ve won 1 in 20 games. We are sinking fast..... non league is awaiting us next season! Tonight I can hopefully enjoy the England boys win though [emoji881] [emoji881] [emoji881]

If you’ve made such a brilliant improvement in that short space of time then no reason why you cannot get down further in another three months. Are you using an app such as MySugr to monitor your own blood sugar levels? I do that and I find it helps keep me motivated and focused. The times I get...

I was diagnosed with levels of 91. Within three months I had that down to 48 with diet alone. The Metformin they gave me didn’t agree with me. At first it felt daunting but actually with learning about foods and the effects they have on my body I developed new routines which I think are quite...

I made what I call my jumbilaya..... garlic, onion, chilli, courgette, chicken, tomatoes, cauliflower rice with some paprika and goats cheese, all fried in a frying pan and it’s delicious!!!

Anymore anecdotal evidence for 2nd Pfizer jab? Are people really finding it triggers a worse reaction? I had my first one late feb and side effects were mild. I feel it’s time to start building up the anxiety levels for the second one!!!

Cauliflower cheese Delicious and low carb!!!
