No definitely not. I’ve got all my info from groups on FB and the internet….and lost 8kg in 5 months and HbA1c down from 47 to 37! Paid nothing.

It really is delicious!! First off I used only Almond flour. Secondly I used full cream Greek Yoghurt instead of cream cheese(I never had that in my fridge). Her fresh fruit puréed jam looks lovely. I did a few strawberries puréed but I used more of the St Dalfour jam to spread...

I know what you mean it it’s how we learn I guess and must just remember next time we’re tempted. I just baked a keto Victoria Sponge and it was lovely. Nice texture too but I had to put some no added sugar St Dalfour Jam on it and of course there’s the cream too. I didn’t even add any...

Yes, it taught me something…..that I haven’t missed anything !

Thankyou both so much!! I feel a lot better now ☺️. Great advice and I shall look at the links. Thankyou again.

I did a crazy thing yesterday by eating half a M&S lemon and sultana Danish cake….my spike at 8.3mmol stayed high for two hours and didn’t come way down to 6.2mmol until 3 hours! I didn’t even enjoy that half cake! I hope I haven’t blown my 3 month HbA1c check up due this month...

Thankyou……..I won’t be going mad that’s for sure….I got a shock on my last HbA1c…..but it was nice to know that a slice of wholemeal didn’t put me through the roof….I was just curious. Tonight it was plain old fillet steak and salad. ☺️

Hi, I have been on a low carb /sugar for 2 months now and I have lost 5.5kg. My BG on waking is around 5.3 to 5.6mmol. I really thought I would try a slice of my home baked wholemeal bread (no sugar) at 45g. I was delighted to see my BG wasn’t nearly as high as it use to be after eating...

Thankyou….good point. I need to get stuck in to drinking more water. Not too keen but I must give it a try.

I’m okay now thanks…..it was just the one day but I upped the carbs and sugar a bit after that and just felt better all round.

I would think it might be….I just had it for the one day and when I looked at my Nutra Check App…I’d had only 20g carbs for the day before and sugar was something like 13g!! Extremely low for me….so that doesn’t bode well for me. I know the Keto diet talk of ‘Keto flu’ for a short length...

You’re correct it would. I’m just watching my cholesterol as it’s 5.5 this time (usually in the 40’s)…just doing this until my next check up ☺️

Thankyou very much for this. My goodness who would ever guess. Maybe a bit like eating a tangerine on its own on an empty stomach which spikes badly. Thankyou.

This is crazy I know but surely one Maynards Sherbet Lemon can’t cause a spike or can it? My tum was quite empty and because I was out I had a quick sweeetie. One and half hours later when I got home my reading was 6.8mmol! What! I don’t even get this high a reading after a...
