Constipation in Diabetics (Natural Remedies)

[RosieLKH]

I keep experiencing much the same on low carbs. Drinking lots of water generally sorts me out, but I have to remember to do that. I've come to the conclusion that I have never drunk enough water.

You can also eat a Macdonalds, as long as you don't eat the bun or any chips. Just have the burger with a salad.

My bad, I ate the bun and chips. But my blood sugar levels only went up to 6,1 after testing 2 hours later.

What are flax seeds and do I buy them from supermarkets?

They are also called Linseeds, both Flaxseeds and Linseeds are much the same.

Most supermarkets sell them, I was in Holland & Barrett last week stocking up on green tea and they have a Buy One Get One Half Price offer on at the moment.

You could try a couple of natural 'figs' these are super at
twitching things into a natural movement .
Great to use when constipated and don't spike my BG's much either

It is indeed mo53, my local co-op food store just 2 minutes away from where I live do some reduced offers on sandwiches and wraps for 28p as they are about to expire out of date. One of my friends went into the shop and got like 4 huge tea cakes for 20p, a loaf of burgen soya and linseed bread for 32p, a quiche for 46p, 2 seeded bread rolls for 9p, a salad bag for 37p and a block of cheese for 56p.

Twice daily most supermarkets reduced price of goods on same day items .
Find out their times of reducing foods and fresh produce .

Moggys,tesco,asda.sainsburys do this twice daily .
It really can save you pounds to shop this way .

I like to go after 2.15pm to browse through the reduced items shelves .
This is usually around the 2nd reduction of the day .
Snap up loads at less than half price too .

Hot chicken from the deli at 7.45pm (last price reducement 89p from £4 +) is a
great find and already cooked .
Make hot chicken mini salad's for our lunches (next day)
Chicken casserole for hubby/me tea .
Lettuce parcels with the shredded chicken plus salady things .

I love the reduced foods as they challenge me to create/whittle up a great
meal or two for myself and hubby .
