That is absolutely fascinating... and a bit scary! My job is incredibly stressful so this is definitely something I need to keep in mind. Thank you for pointing it out!

Hi friends, My numbers have been wonderful lately (all it took was changing absolutely everything about the way I eat, move, and live my life! lol). I just tested now though and was anticipating a similar reading to what I'd been getting the rest of the week (around 5.5-6). It's a 6.9. My wife...

Sounds like nerve pain... I have sciatica and get the strangest sensations because of it. Unfortunately I don't know enough to say any more about whether or not this is diabetes related as I'm very new to it!

Hi everyone! It's been almost three weeks and things have gone really well. I've become a finger-pricking champion and the changes to my diet have meant my blood sugars have been under 8 most of the time I've tested for the last week! (hooray!) The missus and I will be celebrating some...

I don't have much help to offer as I'm still very new to this all. Just wanted to say I empathize with how **** it is dealing with the cravings!

I was quite excited by this suggestion but the wife said 'Yeah. I'd get it out the freezer.' At least she knows herself! Also I love the idea of a website called All day I dream about food. Kind of sounds like how I'm feeling at the moment! We've found a recipe for chia seed pudding so we'll...

Hi everyone, My wife and I are now one week and a bit into lowering the levels of sugar in our diet. Not a cookie nor a cake has passed my lips since. The problem is my wife is desperate for some cake and I would love to have some too. Our problem is that we know that if we bake a dessert we...

I got a 9.9. Is that good? I feel that's probably pretty okay?

Thank you! She's my baby. I just tested my blood for the first time. Ow!! My respect for everyone has gone up tenfold - I swore like a sailor.

Not at all! I used to be quite carniverous once upon a time. I've been incorporating more fish (begrudgingly but I realise it's the easiest way to get me on the right track).

Bone broths are out I'm afraid as I just can't bring myself to eat meat. Any other suggestions like coconut milk which should be doable?

Hi everyone, It's been just over a week now since my diagnosis and I've really changed my diet and tried very hard to cut down carbs and sugars. I'm not making multiple trips to the bathroom to pee each night so I think I must be on the right track! I am struggling with one thing: I'm noticing...

I can't tell you all how much I appreciate all your lovely and helpful responses. I've taken a few days now to try and process this whole thing. The nutritional thingy (especially number 3 - the whole it isn't your fault part) has been really helpful. It's been incredibly tempting to blame...

Hi everyone, Starting in January, I noticed I was feeling more run down than usual, quite tired and just feeling not totally myself. Work was really stressful and I sort of blamed it on that. By early March it was getting harder to ignore so I booked an appointment with the GP who recommended...
