Hi All Just a quickie, iv'e been low carbing for a bit now and my sugar has been pretty well controlled. However I have been getting a spike to quite high levels now and again and I couldnt work out why. I looked at what I was eating and there was no common food, that was untill today when I...

Hiya :D I fancy making a watercress soup and wondered if anyone has any recipies for a low carb version I wait in anticipation Cheers Tony

Hi Folks I've not been on here for a while as work has been nuts nuts nuts. I am still low carbing and my bg has been fine for the last few months, I go to the gym twice a week and am fitter than I have been for yonks. I wondered if I could get a laymans idea on something if you can help. I...

Hi all Sorry not to have been around for the last week or so but work being work it has been a tad busy. Anyway, I went today to get my hba1c results. The story so far is that when I was last tested my result was 11.1, my sugars then flew off the radar and got stupidly high and then I joined...

I just cant get my head around how it is cost effective to not give out testing equipment that will highlight any problems early rather than waiting untill the patient develops a major problem that has been allowed to run on and then costs many thousands. If we are willing to make the...

Hi folks Today I went for my HBA1C blood test after 3 and a bit weeks of low carbing that has seen my sugars plummet from 20's to close to normal range. I have tested quite a lot during this time and this has helped to keep the control levels good. Whilst I was having my blood taken this...

Hi Just a quickie, although low carbing is working wonders for the old sugar levels and health in general there is an element of constipation involved. I wondered if anybody else had encountered this and any solutions they had to get things back to a more regular timetable. Any help would be...

Cheers Sue That makes me feel even better :D

I know I keep giving a running score but after 2 weeks of low carbing I today hit 5.6 pre my evening meal. This is just amazing bearing in mind I was in danger land and hitting anywhere between 13-20 2 weeks ago. All week I have not budged above 7.7 after food so from where I was to where I am...

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha like we would really eat cr*p like that, only folk gonna have a dabble at that are those who enjoy spending time attached to the ceiling by thier finger nails screaming like a sugered up diabetic type person. April fool come early me thinks, cant wait for...

Never thought of Nimble, I will add that to my trial list for the end of the month Tone

just to clarify in case I confused anyone, I have set myself a short term daily target of 50g of carbs per day. I was eating absolutely shed loads of carbs per day and my sugars were sky high each day and were in the very dangerous range and no matter what I tried my sugar wouldnt come down...

Hiya I have just checked my sugar and yippee am down at 6.3 late in the day which is a fantastic result considering it was up in the high double figures only a week and a half ago when I joined the forum. My new low carb lifestyle is going well and I have a lot more work to do but I am...

Hi All I have been a member for just over a week and took advice from the forum about low carb eating, my sugar pre forum was getting ridiculous and I was losing the plot unable to figure out how to reduce my numbers. This evening I hit 6.5 which is the lowest for many a year, I am trying...

Hi all Sugar down to 7.1 today, not brilliant but considering it was starting at 11+ a few days ago and was hitting some scary numbers is a major step forward for me in the space of four days. To those who lead me to low carbing a big thank you, I aim to keep working at this and want my sugar...
