Once I was a rep and walked a lot in horrible weather but never caught a cold.Once I was back working in an office I got all sorts. People who still go to work despite being ill are a menace especially if you are a carer and don't want to catch anything unnecessarily.

I find digging the garden reduces by blood sugars double quick.

Proper chocolate on its own doesn't contain that much sugar. That's why its not recommended for hypos.

Re: Crazy reading post evening meals Basmati rice sends my bg levels sky high too. I only eat it if I am going to exercise soon afterwards.

Go and see the doctor (he'll appreciate a simple health problem for once!) and ,maybe , get the same stuff as me i.e. Loceryl. You sandpaper down the nail and apply this clear liquid once a week and after a few weeks it begins to improve to the point it eventually clears up.

Type 2 Stacks of gym work and loads of walking plus a weightwatchers diet led me to reduce insulin intake from 2 x 42 per day to 1 x 24 and over a period an HbA1c of 40.

Mine was 40 last time but that was with loads of exercise and loosing weight. Type 2 responds well to weight loss my tipping point was 7lbs of blubber shed and the Insulin demand dropped and dropped.

Ripe pineapple will raise sugar levels quite a lot. I love peaches and nectarines but these are off my list now.I buy slightly unripe apricots and stew them adding a few sweetners and they are fine and contain a lot of fibre.

Re: Have you ever had mental health issues related to diabet Having diabetes and episodes of bad sugar control affects my ocd for the worse.

Yes I have lost weight through going to the gym and weightwatchers and I have cut back a lot on my insulin intake. I am going to carry on so as to annoy Big Pharma.

I had this or similar smelling smells that were not there. I used to be able to smell baking bread whilst driving my car. Strongly advise seeing your doctor about it.

If you are constantly trying to manage your levels downwards its important to see what works and what doesn't. As a resullt I go for 3 monthly blood tests. Don't ask permission just make an appointment with the nurse and get it done.

I never knew that if you had diabetes you were at increaded risk of bowel cancer. I recently refused to give samples to the bowel cancer test sent to me out of the blue through the post from the NHS on the basis that I had enough illnesses to be getting on with without them trying to find...
