Sorry to hear you are doing it tough at the moment @Former-Member!

I hope you find the right balance of medication to look after both your physical and mental health.

^Great to hear! Concentrating on the basics for now sounds like an excellent plan.

Take care,

I am drooling - I love chocolates and they look fantastic - 

Thanks for sharing - I guess I will be given chockies for Christmas - but rarely do I actually see such yummy ones

[mmmmmmm -making more eating smooth,  rich wonderful chocolate sounds and trying not to talk at the same time]

That sounds so hard to be told that your pre-diabetes is because of your kidney disease but not given any idea of what to do about it - it sound like getting a dietician is a good idea - but finding one when you live out of town and away from the infra-structure sounds really tough

And oh golly - who said it? ah @Former-Member - I had not considered chromium as a trace element we would need - I have tried to read the tiny print on food labels and supplement labels - ah - I have catarats starting and and I can't see through them alas - so I will have to look that up too

With chemicals like that - we need just a little trace - but it's an important little trace

Thanks for sharing
