Hi Chrissie, dont despair - there are still plenty of things you can have for puds

I will find some links for you.

My Uncle has to follow a low glycaemic index diet.

Its not as bad as it sounds Chrissie , I will find you some links Anthony Worral Thompson is good for recipes, i belive he has to follow this diet too,

Dont panic - you will have pud! xxxxx

Be back soon xxxxx

We'll start with puddings because that's what I found first! lol!!

This is a good link Chrissy,

Also, try drinking plenty of water as can help with lowering blood sugar levels. Recommended is eight glasses per day, not too much more though - as with every thing, in moderation....

When first diagnosed I was told water is magic medicine for people with RA as it helps to flush harmful toxins from the body.

My other personal recommendation is porridge -low GI & it fills u up and keeps u full for longer,
I used to think it was a bit boring at first but i add lots of fruit on top - just whatever is in season and i think its yummy now xxxxx

Please let us know how you get on, will be thinking of you, be careful not make too many changes all at once especially as you have previously had low blood sugar levels before,

Dont forget to relax and do things just for YOU sometimes,

Take care love Liz xxxxx

PS Sophie and her teddy say hi - Ted has gone all intellectual this weekend - he is wearing Jessie's joke glasses and looks like a little professor, he's helping me with my open uni work! xxxxx

Hi Chrissie, I hope you do find out before your hols. I hope you can relax and make the most of the lovely hotel food and wine. I had a high test and had to go for a second. My mum also has severe type 2. Luck for me the second test was ok - I hope yours turns out to be a one off result.
