Low-carb diets support thread

Thanks Mercy & Ted on the cod liver oil/Vit D info. :T

I used to [STRIKE]be forced to[/STRIKE] take cod liver oil capsules when I was a nipper - my Mum was very sneaky - I used to find these little oily balls floating in my bowl of cornflakes or cup of milk _pale_ - quite funny when I think of it now but it wasn't at the time!! :rotfl:

Btw, we used to have a 'diabetic' cat - at least she was diagnosed with diabetes :rolleyes: but now not so sure. Her symptoms were weight loss (food just went straight through her) & drinking loads of water. We had to give her insulin injections but sometimes she would go a bit weird, walking around confused, it wasn't nice to see. Anyway, we stopped giving her the injections & when we took her back to see the Vet she said it probably hadn't been diabetes in the first place?? Was then diagnosed with a Thyroid problem. Never did find out for definite what it was though.

mazzers, hope you managed to get a decent sleep, too many things buzzing around in your mind by the sounds of it.

alias, I'm fine today, thanks for asking. Lol at your post, hope you get away with the netbook!! Keep posting so that we know you did!!

Welcome michele, I always feel a bit 'spaced out' for a couple of days when re-starting low-carb, it's not a nice feeling but it doesn't last long.

Gaye, is that a new avvy?? Don't remember seeing it before?? Tis a good one!! :rotfl:

Apologies for the mega-post & hope I've remembered to mention everyone

Hello all!

Well GP has prescribed even more meds (and referral to Gynae -eek :eek:) However okayed the low carb diet as long as I take care to eat little and often to keep the old sugar level ok. Blood pressure was high still but ok.
No carb cravings today (yet) -popping out to town later so hope to avoid the lure of the fast food fairies...Mmmmm.

You're right, we fly 3 weeks yesterday.......... Florida here we come:D
DH had his angioplasty and 2 stents last week so have spent the last 2 days trying to get insurance for him to fly..... quotes so far, just for him, are ranging from £450-£611:eek:

Thanks Sweet. 'is nibs did it for me. Badger explained how to do it but I got lost after the bit about google images (or something like that). It doesn't take much to confuse me!

I had the same problem when flying to Spain last year, and as i had outstanding tests was even more expensive cos results are unconfirmed, the insurance was more expensive than the holiday.
Did it online in the end, (one question answers, which made it easier) and was much much cheaper, wasn't convinced i was covered though.

I thought my BP would've come down a bit but it hasn't.
Keep checking tho, cos meds usually need decreasing.
Fingers crossed..

You have probably already seen this, but there is info on this site for 'insurance cover for those with pre-existing medical conditions'
