    A rare mistake

    Just really annoyed with myself. On 2 Metformin a day, diagnosed 8 years ago, could probably go down to 1 or none. Very strict low carb diet, libre estimates hba1c at 39 for last 8 months. Yesterday went out for lunch and just suddenly felt so fed up with it all and had a cheeseburger with a bun...

    Diet coke

    I'm beginning to think this elevates my blood sugar - not in a sharp way, just over time

    Meter question

    I find ordinary bread including wholemeal incompatible with a low carb lifestyle - obviously tiny quantities might be manageable, just not whole slices at a time. It all depends on how many grams of carbs one person can tolerate.

    What next Insulin?

    Struggling with type2

    I wore the Abbott freestyle libre monitor for some time after diagnosis to see how particular foods were affecting me. I make or buy low carb versions of my old foods so I don't feel deprived, for example I make or buy low carb bread and cakes. Usually replace wheat flour with almond flour in...

    Starting again…. again

    Just wanted to say that pulses are generally pretty high in carbohydrate. There are several exceptions (black soybeans and lupini beans) but they can be difficult to source. I wore the Freestyle libre pretty constantly for the first year of diagnosis and also logged carbohydrate on an app so I...

    Visiting relatives. Very low carb vegetarian ideas to suggest (as suitable for me a keto near carnivore)

    Bring some nuts, too, with the cheeseboard and maybe olives and a few low carb crudités. Guacamole too. Baked aubergine dip (Baba ganoush). 90% chocolate or dipped strawberries with the same dark chocolate.

    Type 2 Exercise.

    What is the usual pattern of your blood sugar readings? And what is your average daily way of eating? I was just wondering if uncontrolled blood sugars could be impacting your health.

    In denial

    I eat greek yogurt (5%} with a very few berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries etc). Or sometimes make peanut butter cookies - mega easy! Peanut butter, artificial sweetener (i use stevia or erythritol), egg and vanilla essence. Stir together, cook in spoonfuls on tray for 10-15...

    Guilt

    It's definitely worth getting back on the wagon and also giving yourself a pat on the back for all the times you've looked after yourself well
