Hi Penny

I take Avandamet 4 daily

Is that like Glyburide? Do you manage to keep control with it? I started with Metformin, added Glyburide, and then insulin, and still struggle sometimes. From your profile, you say you are homebound, is that from the arthritic conditions? Tell us more about yourself, there are many people here ready to help.:D

Rosiglitazone maleate, metformin hydrochloride, I am in the UK so the drugs are a little different I think, but quite similar, house bound side of my life, yes mainly due to the arthurs, have lost 3 inches in height, caused by the scolliosis and arthurs very painful back yikesssssss

Welcome Dame Minnie,

Glad to have you on board. You share my mother's name so I am already partial. Hope you find lots of info and friends.:trytofly:

[DameMinnie]

Hello Shanda and John

Thank you.

Godisgood, which part of the uk where you born, I was born in Liverpool, but now live in Bristol, my girls both live in Wigan, Lancs:hello:

[Godisgood]

Hardingstone, Northampton. I still have relatives there. I have a funny question for you: I love "toad in the hole", but don't think I could handle the carbs. Has anyone ever made it using whole wheat flour instead of white? I miss my yorkshire too. Thanks, Freda

[DameMinnie]

Have a look at this site in the uk http://www.leedsth.nhs.uk/sites/diabetes/food/YorkshirePuddings.php

Also found this one Freda http://www.bobsredmill.com/recipe/

Hi. Thank-you for going to the trouble. the first web site is a pudding made with gluten free flour. Is that better for a diabetic? The second one I didn't have any luck finding yorkshire. Thank-you so much:girl:

[DameMinnie]

Hi godisgood,

It is a diabetic sight so the recipe must be ok, I think it better if you call in at a health store and take a look around, see what kind of flour you can safely use without upsetting the D
