I have full fat Greek every day. The problem with me is that I could eat the whole tub, even when I buy a 4 pack I have two.

That sounds like me last night,I bought the 1kg Lidl Milbona Greek style yoghurt it's only £1.36 and I have it for breakfast every morning,I had to give myself a slap on the wrist last night for attacking the large tub at supper time.it's so nice,I've had to remove my pecans from view too

I also have the full fat Greek yoghurt I buy the 1kg tub for £1.36 from Lidl and I use the frozen berries summer fruits from Sainsburys,I think the summer fruits have the least carbs of the frozen berries,if you forget to take them out of the freezer at night you can place your desired amount in a bowl of water and after 10 mins they have thawed,that does me every morning and I love it,when I have walnuts or pecans in the house I crumble a few of them and sprinkle on top

Thanks @belugalad, at the moment it’s either the yogurt nuts and berries or a small breakfast with bacon, sausage and mushrooms - guess which is my favourite lol!

Sounds lovely, I’m avoiding sliced bread at the moment and even the low carb as for some reason they spike me but a pitta doesn’t! Weird diabetic fairy at play again!

Might treat myself to a cooked breakfast tomorrow! :D
 
I love pecans and I have a big jar in the cupboard that is pushed to the back so i don’t attack it.
 
I have been doing low carb only from lists of low carb food on the net because i only ever eat fish and chicken, have done so since I was 5. The only difference these days is what i do my food in because I don’t now do heavy sauces etc.

I have found a huge difference in running to the loo and/or drinking water, the difference is huge also my BG is lower than it has ever been.

However, I had a terrible fright on Monday last. Things didn’t seem right and my speech was wrong, went to doc who said I had experienced “a mild stroke”. I have been told not to drive for a month. This is awful but I’m a bit scared and hoping this doesn’t happen again.

So sorry to hear you’ve had a scare like that. Really hope things improve for you very soon. Take care x
 
Thank you Nicola. I got the fright of my life. Apparently it can be a one off, or a sign of further stroke, that’s what scares me, and why no driving for a month.

It must be frightening, Hopefully your GP could offer some more advice on driving for you. Take very good care
 
Thanks Nicola

Are you having any follow up tests? When OH had a scare (his was a retinal artery occlusion, which was treated the same as if he’d had a TIA or mini-stroke, because there’s the same risk of a future full stroke) he was referred to the TIA clinic, and had an ultrasound of his carotids, an MRI of his head, and all sorts of other tests, because that was the protocol at our hospital. He also wasn’t allowed to drive for a month, because of the risk of a full blown stroke. He ended up on the unholy trinity of Statins, BP meds and blood thinner, but four years on, he’s still fighting fit.
Just checked, the NICE guidelines say that the tests OH had are the recommended pathway.

Hi Robin. On Monday when I was at the surgery, the doc made an urgent referral to the hospital, but I never heard anything and I’m worried in case it happens again. Basically what the hospital told me on the phone when no referral was forthcoming, is that not to drive for a month and more or less wait and see, and if nothing else happens, i can carry on driving.

I can’t tellyou this is satisfactory because I’m still worried sick, so I’m not sure if i should have a telephone consultation with the doc at the surgery again.
 
try natural greek yoghirt and fruit you can prepare it the night before to take with you

Well, the hospital doesn’t seem to be following the NICE guidelines, for a start, unless they are of the opinion that it wasn’t a TIA, so I’d be inclined to speak to my GP and ask why they aren’t following it up.
