i tried similar shirataki noodles bought from a japanese store. i bought the ones made like ramen noodles, and another made like rice noodles. Both smelled a bit fishy so needed a good rinse. I tried stir frying one with a sauce and one in a chicken broth. The one in the broth is definitley...

Truvia Its an erthrytol and stevia blend. Could probably blend it yourself if you bought these 2 sweetners separately

whipped out the old wii and got my first 5.6 in ages :D

Hi Tree-peony i just tried your muffin recipe and they are really nice, even my wife who is ND likes them! They will be one of my snacking foods from now on although i do think i bought the wrong coconut flour as it doesnt seem as fine or powdery as people have described, and a bit lumpy. It...

Thank you all for the encouragement. I will start taking the Lisinopril tonight. I have a colleague who also takes it for high blood pressure who is on 40mg a day, and when i told him about my worry of 2.5mg he just laughed at me :lol: I have been testing my BG levels a lot over the last...

Hi, its been a month since i was diagnosed as type2, and am still adjusting my diet to low carb. Slowly but surely i am getting there, but i miss all those krispy cremes and Mr Pretzels i used to chomp on, so its time to get stuck into some proper dessert baking. I have been doing some...

i saw it for £1 at tesco yesterday in the fridges. I went for the Alpro unsweetened almond milk in the end, will try it in some cauliflower cheese :)

thanks for the advice Noble. Whitby - wow, those recipes have opened up a lot of new ideas! i would never have thought of using philadelphia in a bread/loaf. i will need to stock up on some of the common ingredients though will probably try the multiseed loaf first, sounds good for a decent...

ok just an update on my testing. i bought the SD Codefree and have been using it for a few days. My sister also gave me a Bayer Contour and i carried out a few tests at various times on both meters. I made sure i used the same drop of blood each time, immediately testing one meter after the...

Hi Martin, If you like your sandwiches, there is also Burgen bread which they sell in tesco, contains soya and linseed and is around 12g of carbs per slice, compared to around 18g per slice on other main line breads. It is advertised as low GI, so it shouldnt spike your BG levels too much I...

Wow, thank you so much for these recipes SweetHeart, they look really nice i was only recently diagnosed and am still coming terms with what the future will be like food wise as i do like my cakes and desserts, but this has really put me at ease considerably i will sure be making these very...
