Hi, I’m toying with the idea of this after seeing the massive improvement in my US-based cousin’s type 2 diabetes after she got a Dexcom, not least to help my sore fingers! She went from insulin twice a day to one med only (I think metformin) in nine months and says it’s because she could see...

Thank you @Venkat K Usually my sleep isn’t that bad, 6-7 hours per night and I don’t often wake up during. But I did sleep quite poorly last night probably as I have a busy day later today. Exercise yesterday was only cleaning and a walk to the post box. Usually I swim 2km 3 times a week but...

I really had to wean myself off fruit yoghurts when I started carb controlling, and the Yeo valley ones were my fave! I too am a big fan of the full fat Greek yoghurt, and have started straining it to make it super thick and creamy. I have this, berries, chia seed and a small spoon peanut...
