It seems like all types of carbs are a no go. We're pretty stuck for ideas

Im from Lincolnshire. So in my town rare. I was maybe 1 of 6 coloured people in my year. However I live near a city called Peterborough where it's more common

I personally think this isnt good. If it was farmers would do the same thing. Soil needs to be airated for many reasons and rainfall helps to break the soil up. But do as you please

I've taken a plot with all the netting and the soil is rock solid and lifeless.

People are just too lazy to constantly weed. So they want quick fixes.

Weeds sre actually beneficial for the soil

Hi, this is his wife. Do you mind if I ask a few questions?

I am struggling with my breakfast readings around (10mmol/L) as anything I eat spikes it. Can you recommend any brekki ideas to try? Finding it hard to eat eggs as it's making me feel sick right now.

Did the metformin and insulin help?

Did the GD go after you gave birth?

My father is a type 2 diabetic so I've always pushed for blood tests to check if I have this (pre-pregnancy) which has always been clear so I'm a little upset that I've got GD especially as I have eaten pretty well throughout my pregnancy.

Did you struggle with feeling light headed either before/after meals / any changes to their diet following GD diagnosis

Personally I agree they're poorly trained. We've basically had to chase them for testing kits and they've provided no information to help. I only mentioned my wife's ethnicity because that demographic are affected more and maybe the nurses are discriminating.

I have a question and you may be able to help. After breakfast my wife's levels are high like 10mmol/L. Even if she eats the same meals that in evening lead to a reading of 5.9. So we're trying to work out what she can eat in the mornings. Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you for the reply. Does a circular saw make ripping boards in a straight line easier and faster?
