I just assumed that you couldn't get it in the UK when they changed my mum's over... always bought my own on my travels in the ME... I will talk to my doc when I get home - he's young and interested, thank goodness...
Thank you...Thought you might like this

I have no idea really, the doc just told me in my phone call that although he was thrilled that my Hb thing was 'normal to low' on the low-carbing, he was a little concerned that it had raised my cholesterol, just a bit , but we'd keep an eye on it as I was on a high-fat diet... He did say that most diabetics have high cholesterol and are on statins... my sister genetically has high cholesterol but I never have really... she doesn't have diabetes though..@Susikav, how high was your cholesterol susikav? That's great you have no calcification on your body
I wasn't concerned later as I read a post on here that said, with LCHF, that your cholesterol might increase a bit at first before lowering again... We'll see... you, know, I never think to get my results from the surgery, even though I have all the ones I have done on my travels... how odd... I have called the surgery now and asked for a print-out.. my sister will collect it and scan it for me... I will let you know what my cholesterol is when I get it...
I have been feeling over-cream-and-cheesed...B: last slice of slab and coffeencream
L: hummus, 9 bar, 500 ml green smoothie
D: minted lamb mince and onion, 500ml green smoothie
S: 2 peanut butter cookies ea topped with a square of 70% choc
Interestingly, I have fallen seamlessly back into my old green smoothie habits. Basically eating protein sources and dropping cooked veg in favour of raw fruit and veg in the smoothies. Win win situ. Even more fruit n veg, raw, so more nutritious, and almost all the rest of the diet consisting of meat, nuts and seeds. Maybe 60% raw by volume. I think 80% raw would be optimum, but I'd have to find room for a salad in there too. Breakfast salad?
My cheese/cream intake has dropped too. I don't like saying that is a good thing (staunch LCer that I am), but a bit of a break is good for anything, isn't it?
Just a niggling feeling... I shall follow in your footsteps I think... if you hear a faint pitt-patt and heavy breathing you'll know it's me then...
I hear you Tweetypie...Thanks for the ideas. Having never tried baked camenbert before, I have now been immersed into a whole new world of delicious oozy cheese heaven! Am still salivating from my experience now, must stop thinking about gooey cheese
It is the most wonderful thing, an avocado, but it will seem strange at first probably... lovely with a vinaigrette or prawn cocktail... so many ways of eating it... I tend not to mash it, it changes the texture a lot...Never tried avocado - doesn't look very appetising but looks can be deceptive
Sausages (verboten), crustless quiches, new almond and flax loaf, boiled eggs and divine peanut butter cookies with chocolate inside... I put everything in tupperware and packed my biggest suitcase... Use your delete buttons... We even have Harvey Nicks here...Well done - see the borg was wrong - resistance ISN'T futile
That's awful
didn't you take it back? I'd've made sure people heard too....
Brog?Well done - see the borg was wrong - resistance ISN'T futile
Borg, the cyborgs - Dr Who I think but may have been Star Trek? Collective entity that said it was futile t resist becoming part of it....
That's awful
Twas Star Trek The Next Generation. They assimilate other species into their 'hive' and are ruthless in their pursuit of technological perfection and dominance.
