Thank you Dennis, as always everyone's best interest at heart. Karen x

Hello Jenna, Hello Chris and welcome to the forum, as Sugarless Sue already said, do have a good look around the forum and ask any questions you may have. I know its all confusing and overwhelming at first, especially since there is just so much information around and you cant make head nor...

Jan123, its early days yet, you are still learning lots of things, well actually this learning is an ongoing process for all of us. Talking about our experiences, and feelings and things is so important, its part of the holistic treatment, its not just about your pancreas and insulin, its the...

Any time Jan123, as we have said its all better out than in :-) (((((((Jan123)

Pasta, toast and honey (my word!!! Just reading about this makes me spike and I havent done so in the past few years), you need to cut these out for sure, you can get low carb bread and lower carb pasta but the honey is just pure sugar. if that is all that you are eating you are missing out on a...

Well get hold of some low carb bread then, toasted and with butter and give in to your craving? Sometimes just nothing else will do, and this is probably one of those situations then, huh> :-) Karen

Ah! Not a cook then, hmmmm, a diabetic diagnosis, heart attacks are your bodies telling you to make some changes to your lifestyles and on top of that you are missing out on so many lovely dishes; I hope you decide to try something different, do it gradually, you and hubby can cook things...

Hi jan123 you poor, poor kiddo, hell I think just about everyone feels or has felt like you do at the moment, I know I most certainly did, bear in mind that I have been diabetic for 18 years, by now I am used to it and have totally accepted the situation. But it was hard, really, really hard and...

Hi, welcome to the forum At 26 you are dangerously high and should really go to the hospital, A&E, but tell what do you eat, write down a typical days menu, lets see what we can suggest. Karen

Hi Donna, welcome to the forum First of all it is NOT your fault that you are diabetic, you did not cause it. And second let me tell you that it is normal to be upset at the diagnosis, goodness, you have just told that you have a disease, on top of that the doctor has not explained anything to...

Lovely post Rita/Reetpetite Ming, yes you must look after yourself too, and also your husband should take responsibility he is the one with the condition, and really should not leave it all to you. Why are you worried about not getting vegetables down him? Does he not like to eat them? I know...

Mrs Pugwash :-)

Nannoo, smoothies would be a good option for breakfast and also remember that you can swap meals around, I sometimes have leftovers from the previous day for breakfast or soup or whatever, I know a low carber who is so hungry first thing in the morning that she is eating a roast with gravy and...

Hi Ming It all depends on how many carbs your husband can tolerate without getting spikes, that is where testing before and after meals comes in. Check on the nutrition information on the bread wrappers, some like Weight Watchers wholemeal or thin sliced wholemeal multigrain breads have lower...

Oh yes Carlos, everyone is going through rough times now and then, we just have to take the rought with the smooth, but that is sometimes easier said than done and so we go off the rails for a few days. A way of comforting and compensating and rebelling against the distressing situation. Life is...

Dillinger, my daughter-in-law, currently breastfeeding my grandson (8 weeks old, oh gosh I love him soooooooooooo much) sent me this link http://www.llli.org/NB/NBvitamins.html - I hope that this is of some use. And you should not apologise asking such questions, you are diabetic and if we...
