diet

Hello to everyone :) I've been readying this forum for a while and find it very very useful so thanks to everyone that contribute! My story is quite similar to those I have already read here. I have been having the RP symptoms since I remember, not knowing what's wrong. It wasn't that often...

Hey all, hope everyone is keeping well. I keep having hypos, like ALL THE TIME. They started as night time hypos so I've been reducing my basal as this is something I was taught on DAFNE (I know some don't agree with this method but this is all I know). I have had little success with this and...

this is something I’ve been really thinking about...even if it may sound stupid to some....I didn’t have symptoms of diabetes until my blood test stated my blood sugars was high..... So let’s say for example there’s a person out there who is diabetic but they don’t know it, let’s say they are...

do I have to subtract fibre from carbs to get the actual carb content?

From doing a lot of research I’ve read that lentils, beans and pulses are better carbs as it has high fibre which doesn’t spike blood sugars, I saw at work we do a red lentil fussili, all it contains is red lentils and water and has 19g protein per portion, 44g carbs, 0.9g fat... Is this a much...

like any other diet do any of you have that ‘cheat meal’ or some chocolate or crisps now and then? It’s my friends birthday next week and we are going for pizza at Pizza Hut, and I know I won’t be able to just have a slice or two, I want to enjoy it at the same time and it’s not something I...

Please don't misconstrue the below question as someone who has not realized the errors of her diet!!! My problem with foods as I see it now has been my love of grains, cereals, granola bars, etc. Right now I am being extra strict to see if I can get my AC1 lower. I have always been slim, have...

Hi, I'm doing a diet and regular (and vigorous) exercise 6 - 7 times a week. Already lost 3+ stones. I expect my doctor to take me off Metformin (2x 500mg / day) soon - even before my diet and weight loss the HbA1c was 49 - 50 and I'm hoping that it will be much lower than that now (I'll go for...

Hello everyone. I’m a newly diagnosed pensioner. I’ve been hovering in the pre-diabetic spectrum for three or four years.... but now, according to two HbA1c tests (taken a month apart), I have just crept into the diabetic part of the spectrum. I have a meeting with the Diabetic Specialist Nurse...

I have read such mixed reviews about whether a high fat low carb diet is beneficial for type 1! I am already putting on weight after 4 days of taking insulin and don’t want to put on any more. Has any one got any advice on what diet to go on?

I am finding nuts a tasty and nutritious part of my low carb diet, but I am moving away from the shelled variety as they are just too easy to overeat. I have bought some shell on nuts lately and take ages to eat them as they need to be cracked first and then, fairly often, the nut needs to be...
