    Ryevitas- can I eat them on a low carb diet?

    You're welcome. And they are very tasty and addictive. The cat in the picture is my Late Great Victor. He was diabetic too towards the end of his life. He was a wonderful boy.

    If you like the crunch of Ryvita but want to cut the carbs, try making these; I adore them and they're easy to make: https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/keto-seed-crackers

    What's your Achille's heel T1 & T2?

    Cakes, desserts, scones, bread. Given that I work at a conference centre and there's loads of all these things, plus colleagues who keep buying stuff to share, it becomes a gargantuan struggle.

    Prevention and patient empowerment at heart of NHS health plans

    Vaping

    I vape and sweet tasting liquids have no effect on my blood glucose levels. The irony is that after being diagnosed with T2D and going LCHF, the sweet liquids started to taste sickly, so I now favour sour and tangy fruit flavours.

    Diabetes & Statins

    I wouldn't touch statins with a sh*tty stick. My practice tried bullying me for ages about taking them - to the extent that they even filed two prescriptions for me to pick up from my designated pharmacy. After a very strongly worded email to the practice manager, the automatic statin...

    1st Of 18 Diabetic Course.

    @Wilber123 - I'm not surprised you packed it in. I was offered the chance to go on the 18-week course after having endured a one-day course (mandatory, apparently) much of which was spent sitting on my hands when the dietician was doing her spiel I turned down the 18-week one flat. I didn't want...

    Garlic And Type 2 Diabetes

    I adore garlic. Luckily it seems to have little effect on my BG so I'm still using far more than any recipe indicates. Even luckier is that everyone I know adores garlic too.

    When Vets Have More Of A Clue Than Doctors...

    My cats will eat raw food depending on their mood. I usually feed them a grain-free diet. The other week I bought a good-quality grain-free cat food that happened to have peas in it. I thought the cats would just eat around the peas but I was very impressed with the ginger cat's ability to...

    Low Carb Cocktails?

    Cream-based cocktails? I'm thinking espresso martinis, etc. I also have a bottle of sugar-free salted caramel syrup which is great for cocktails.
