Re: Diabetes and mental health
Hi @Shaz51
I'm on vitamin D too. I've been on blood pressure meds for a long time.
The gp suggested on the fasting day to have 2 meals, just 1pm and 6pm. I haven't thought it through yet. The dietician has had me having something every couple of hours so it will be a big change.
Sorry to hear of Mr shaz's sleep disturbance, bad dreams and waking could be a stress thing too.

Re: Diabetes and mental health
@Dimity , with diabetes, my dietician said it is better eating small amounts often instead of big meals so I am trying to encourage eating less at night but it is hard with Mr shaz

Re: Diabetes and mental health
Yes @Shaz51 that's why I want to check with my dietician

Re: Diabetes and mental health
Yes , @Dimity to lower our cal intake is the important way to do it
Even with mental health it is not good too go too long without food or drink
See my dietician tomorrow

Re: Diabetes and mental health
That's a great resource @tyme . I hadn't seen it before. The only thing I'd add is the guideline for 2 fruit and 5 veg.
It's interesting that pretty much the same guidelines seem to apply for both diabetes and heart disease.
