thank you thats very interesting those symptoms almost exactly follow mine particularly the fatigue and sleeping immediately after meals.I got a rash on my shins which itched like crazy
I have needed reading glasses for about 10 years now and my focal length with my existing reading glasses has changed in the past 4 weeks from about 16" to about 9" which is dfficult to ignore. I have arranged a eye test
I have had no advce on diet yet .

its all very well saying that the glucose from carbs like porridge will elevate my bood sugar levels ,I know it will but I have in the space of 3-4 weeks gone from an 17st 7lb heavy weight eating tons of carbs all day long to 16 stone and not able to eat anything with carbs or sugars .
I need to sit down and work out a basic diet soon I know ... but its just not that easy for me at the moment .Today I have had excrutiating pain in my back yet had to get my Father to the toilet at 6am this morning and shower him ,dry him apply powder and creams change his nappy ,dress him , cook his breakfast, do the recycling, wash up, strip his bed and launder his sheet, pillow slip duvet cover pajamas , T shirt and floor mat hang it out to dry , sterilize his rubber mattress, clean and sterilize the whole bathroom and loads of other stuff .All this with a 94 year old frail man wh has severe disability and advanced dementia. He is difficult to communicate with and very very slow
it was 11.30am before I could wash and dress myself !
All I have eaten all day is a small packet of oatsosimple and 2x hard boiled eggs.
I haven't the time to be cooking myself a mixed grill breakfast just now.
Please don't keep hassling me about porridge , 200ml of milk has a mere 9g of carbohydrate and small bowl of porridge is the very least of my worries right now.
