In the past I always had things like shortbread, Marzipan and chocolate at Christmas time. I didn't want to miss them this year, so ive made low carb shortbread and Marzipan and bought some chocolate from deliciously guilt free. (I have tested them all and all fine on the blood sugar front)...

Thank you, will give this a try.

Has anyone used Keto Chefs ultra low carb ready to use pastry? If so what's your experience with it? Or is there an alternative low carb ready to use pastry that you'd recommend instead? I was looking to make my own low carb sausage rolls, but dont want too much faff. (I am assuming you...

Yes your Diabetes team can see your dexcom readings - there is Dexcom clinic - your diabetes team give you their clinic code which you enter into the app and then they can see your data. Im not 100% sure of how much stuff they see yet as I've only recently done this.

I love marzipan as well. I was worried I wouldn't get to enjoy it this year, but found that same recipe online and made them a few weeks ago as a test run, will definitely be making again at christmas - they didn't last long and no issues with my blood sugar.

Yes that's the one I was thinking of. Sadly I saw it after I signed up (Doh!). I did get it on another promo deal, but I believe using the above code would have made it slightly cheaper!

I am currently on week 8 of the Low Carb program, so far its all been about teaching you about food choices and changing habits. I've looked at the title of the weeks left and there's no weeks dedicated to excerise that I can see. Edited to add, if you do decide to go for it, there is a...

Just wanted to drop an update - its now been 3 months since my last HBA1c and coming off the 'flozin and just going diet controlled by going low carb. Just had a repeat HBA1c and its come back at 47 mmol/L. Im really pleased I've managed to lower my BG further without any meds. I've also lost...

I would also highly recommend getting the Dexcom free trial. I think CGMs are the best help you can get at seeing how what you eat affects your blood sugar. Everyone is different and so can their reaction to foods, what works for one person may not work for another - I have found CGMs an...

I posted this on another thread about vaccines but might help here. ... Re who is eligible for the COVID vaccine this time round, the NHS is only offering COVID vaccines to those aged 75 years and over, those in a care home and those who are immunosupressed. Unfortunately Diabetes is not...

PPGs linvolve patients and practice staff (usually a member of the management team or a GP) meeting regularly to discuss service improvements and things like when practices are considering changes or introducing new systems, they get feedback from the PPG on how these changes can be managed...

Thank you - I've been missing pasta - will give this a go.

Can I ask where you get your low carb pasta from please? That looks lovely.

GP practices can't remove you from their patient list for just making a complaint and are required to investigate and respond to you. They have strict rules regarding removing a patient from their list, one of them is breakdown of relationship, but this is still quite difficult for them to do...

Thanks all for the replies. I try to eat a lower carb diet and have aleady cut out the things that keeps my BG elevated for longer than the two hour mark. The rise I mention in my original post doesn't happen often, but I will try and avoid these foods too from now on and stick to foods/drink...
