Hey, seems like Diabetics seem to suffer from this. I basically had the same issue in both shoulders but on two different occasions. It's called capsulitis and most GPs don't know the diagnosis. Pain killers isn't the solution. I tried, it got worse. Mine got so bad that I could not move my arms...

Here's a great hack I use in Spain. If you have a thermos add COLD water from a fridge overnight and throw in your pens (no needles). The cold water will keep it / them cool but not at freezing. I'd say same as fridge 2-3 hours and a little warmer 4-6 hours than a fridge but not much. Fine in...

hey there's a 15-20 minute delay with libre between the real state and the blood test one. It's not real time. You can add an alarm let's say below what is early low warnings. That can help push you to do a blood test. If you're going low or feeling funny, do a blood test. However libre should...

Hey, I'm with the Moderator with this. I'd definitely get to my GP for a second opinion. I do and it's helped with confirming treatment and things the other one may have missed when I do private. If you are diagnosed as diabetic you start to get your meds for free (in the UK) plus the testing...

From my understanding it's following a healthy diet but the trouble is most of the population don't, we're bombarded with temptation and adverts. So, when we meet a diabetic nutritionist they label a healthy diet as a diabetic one like it something different. This for me just complicates stuff...

Personally I love bruschetta. You can use pickled garlics which are not as aggressive with the smell. Erin's suggestion of avocado salad with tomatoes is great. You can grill avocado too. If you want something savoury I'd mix big Portobello mushrooms with garlic and fresh wild herbs, and grill...

Hey, I find stuff from Pataks have a later spike in sugars. It's easier to make your own as the recipe is super simple. You can caramelise the onion (no sugar) and then you've got it down. If you batch a lot (as most of it is yoghurt, tomatoes and fresh onion and garlic) with fresh ground garam...

Great reply however I know a lot of vegan diabetics who've been living fine for the past 30 odd years. Like for most people there's always ups and downs with any diet. There's various food industries out there which have over stressed the importance of iron and b12. The key point here is that...

Hey, this is a favourite as it looks like a cereal based dish. https://vegetariangastronomy.com/low-carb-superfood-breakfast-bowl-vegan/. I personally make a bruschetta from cherry tomatoes, salt, pepper, garlic, extra virgin olive oil and fresh basil (or basil paste). I place this on super...

Sweet potato noodles are a nice option and you can make them yourself getting your hands on a Spiralizer. It's a Handheld Spiralizer Vegetable Slicer. You can find that in every country or Alibaba / Amazon. Typically I use it with courgette but you can do it with any dense vegetable. Steaming is...

Wanting to make a perfect tasting mini chimichanga or enchilada, or want a BBQ tasting hot sauce to take around with you and use instead of a ketchup? An all round winner is Salsa Valentina. There's two types the normal and extra hot. It has just Water, Chili Peppers, Vinegar, Salt, Spices...

Hey, good question. I'm seeing my Dr tomorrow to talk about food types, insulin resistance, metabolism and having the same meal 2 times a day (same measurement) needs different levels of insulin injections. (I posted the recipe today in soups btw). What I would say is different carbs have...

YUMMY MUSHROOM, SPINACH & TOFU RAMEN About 20 minutes for everything. All ingredients are in bold. Add Tofu and Fresh Shitake Mushroom (or dehydrated and rehydrate and use to make as broth using boiling water below) to a frying pan using oil. (I use extra virgin olive oil, but the best is...

Some of my favourites are with fermenation, being Sauerkraut and Kimchi. Sauerkraut is easier (IMHO) but I recommend not using a lot of salt and adding a little Apple Vinegar before bottling. Don't fill to the top as it continues to ferment and let off more water so, check on it every few days.

I'd agree with dark high cacao chocolate, infact over diabetic branded chocolate for its low carbs. To faceoff vs. hunger low GI protein bars are very good too. You may not have heard of Shirataki noodles. They have no calories but you have to try various brands to find the one for you. Some are...
