Can anyone help with a low-carb dumpling recipe please? A stew's too wet without one.... Cheers BB :D

Been to the diabetic clinic at my local hospital today and my hbA1c was 5.3 - last one six months ago (and just before i started low-carbing) was 6.2, so no HUGE change. Triglycerides were 2, down from 2.7. The consultant has given me an honourable discharge :D She thought the low-carbing...

Hi All I've just got a new script filled with a "generic" Metformin MR/SR. I've always been given Glucophage before and I understand that the generic is new out since my last script. I'm all for generic medicines in principle but hear that sometimes people find they're not quite as good as the...

Hi All I went for my annual diabetic check up/eye test at the optician's last night and it's official: I need varifocals. Which in my book means middle-age!!!! I'm 46, BTW, which is over half-way to 90 :shock: What are other people's experience of varifocals? Will I have to buy big round...

Since I've started low carbing I've found that a lot of the best-sounding recipes are American - with everything quoted in cups, half-cups, etc. I went out last week to buy some measures and I was very disappointed as the only ones I could find in town were a £30+ set of Nigella Lawson ones...

Hi All I've just joined my husband on the Atkins diet - just finishing our fortnight's induction phase. I've lost a magnificent 1lb (which may be down to having lighter togs on than when I was weighed at the GP's 10 days ago). My question is: Are the tablets I'm taking (Metformin MR...
