George was diagnosed a couple of years after my diabetes diagnosis with pre diabetes himself and also had a growing middle and neck so it was easier to work on him! He now sticks to low to medium carb as it keeps his sugars and weight normal so a big incentive. I think too that worry about his...

Trouble is I always forget this parallel thread and miss things sometimes! Presumably if we used it more I'd get into the habit! Must be tough when there is high carb stuff in the cupboard - my husband luckily tries to restrict his carbs plus he doesn't eat cereals anymore and tries to only buy...

Sorry to hear about your accident and hope you manage to keep some movement going despite your pain - it must be difficult. As you say earlier though trying to keep on track as much as possible with managing your carbs is even more important when struggling with other physical issues as well as...

Catch up day today after being away - lots of indoor jobs to do - mind you lots of heavy rain and hail today so made me feel ok about needing to be indoors! Mid morning small hm kefir Lunch a few bits of cheese, four LC seeded crackers and small salad. My salad was a mix of avocado, hm...

Been away for a few days just catching up and saw your post @IanBish. Gosh it sounds really scary poor you although sounds like you got good response and treatment from NHS. I'd imagine though it will impact on you for a while yet - a big event to come to terms with. You be kind to yourself...

Blown back from Wales today but did have some good weather until today. Stayed mainly low carb while away but was quite hard to find suitable stuff and need to ask more questions when ordering. For example my tapas chicken wings with parmesan and garlic yesterday evening I did not expect to...

Late arrival to this thread - I've been away. Love this. I'm a great proponent for the relaxation and endorphins theory. Stress drives my bgs high and relaxation, however it's achieved, drives them down.

You've been missed and sorry to hear that you've been dealing with a family issue. Well done you though on staying with eating well despite the challenges. It's all much harder when you can't plan and also away from your own kitchen. Hope the situation settles soon thinking of you.

Welcome back hope you are doing okay?

@Annb well done on adapting to a difficult situation.

It's hard when not feeling well but you keep getting back to it. Today's food Before going out...

Wow inspirational 're your progress well done you such wonderful improvements. I also got out mover out today and could hear many others! There really haven't been many non wet days so - as you say - needed to go for it while we could.

@Rachox thank you so much that's so helpful. I have split them in freezer as I do with the rolls and loaves. I'm planning to try one next week after we get back from a few days in Wales meeting up with family going at weekend. I'm looking foward to trying the pizza and planning a spicy chicken...

Lovely sunny morning and met with a few friends for coffee outdoors - cafe is an enclosed South facing walled herb garden - so uplifting and much better than the non stop rain of yesterday. I had ginger and lemongrass tea though rather than coffee as fancied a change. Meeting different friends...

No you dont need to fill to the top - in fact its good to leave some headroom but you do need to make sure that your veggies are pressed down and covered with brine - really submerged under the water. It may be that the dried seaweed and dried chilli flakes you used meant that it absorbed the...

Brunch kefir then two boiled eggs and LC roll. Mid pm a few nuts and squares of 100% Montezuma chocolate Dinner slow cooked beef Casserole with purple sprouting broccoli and glass of red wine followed by a LC lemon drizzle cake warmed and served with hm yoghurt. Out tomorrow all day meeting...

Pleased to hear that GP was helpful and hopefully the new pills should help you to manage your blood pressure better. Also positive that she was pleased with the bgs and weight management side of things. Mushrooms are a good idea I eat a lot of them - I cook in a mix of butter and olive oil...
