Thanks Viv, I'll give it a try tomorrow for lunch. Everyone who's tried it has said it's delicious. Debbie :thumbup:

Hello all, Could someone point me in the direction of Wiflibs (Libby's) chicken and leek soup recipe please, can't seem to find it anywhere :? Thanks, Debbie

Yes here here rtee, well done you, at least you're seeing some progress. Keep up the good work :thumbup:

Thanks Jo, it's people like you that are keeping us going with all the wonderful support and advice. Every time I get a reply I end up crying on my keyboard, I'm so overwhelmed by it all, silly old ****** aren't I :D

This seems to be the case with some folks doesn't it, I think you're absolutely right about poisoning our systems, it's been going on for so long that the body is going to take a while to adjust. The confusion....I can have a very lucid conversation with him and then he'll say "where are we now"...

Thanks for that Gracek, that's just how my partner is, he doesn't feel hungry and thirsty and is sleeping a lot too. I suppose I'm concerned about the fact he's not having anything to eat for hours but he doesn't seem to be any the worse for it. Maybe this is why he's being a bit crabby as he...

You're right there Jo, is it too late to edit that bit !!!! :lol:

Normally drinking water isn't a problem, we drink about 26 x 500ml bottles a week between us as well as fruit teas and coffee ( I don't do coffee, I'm a tea belly !) but I think it's just the confusion and the high sugar levels that make him a noughty old sod, I'll be glad of the new husband...

Thanks Jo, because he's a bit confused, he thinks he's drinking lots of water but in fact he isn't and if I 'suggest' he drinks some water he starts getting a bit crabby, so he'll drink coffee but doesn't that encourage insulin production ? Debbie

Thank you all, I've just done his 2 hour after meal BG and it's down to 14.2 which I'm pleased about, it's one of his lowest readings at this time of the day we've had for a long time, so I think we must be heading in the right direction, perhaps I'm a little impatient. Jo, I was thinking along...

I've just done my partners BG and it's 16.6, I know this is high but for him it's a reasonably low reading.

Hello everyone, My partner's been on a low carb diet for about 7 days now, about 50g carbs a day, but he's absolutely tired out and has to go to bed and lie down. He doesn't feel ill just very tired and he's a bit confused too. He takes calcium and magnesium supplements and a good multi vit...

Thank you Jo and rtee, I'm very priviliged to have been able to join these forums and I'm humbled with the amount of support and advice I'm getting, there's nothing like experience to teach one if one's capable of listening. I went out and bought the Collins Gem Carb Counter yesterday and...

Thanks folks, I'll feel very reassured by your support and help. Already my partners BG's are falling which is great as he's feeling better in himself. If you remember Defren the first post I put on, I mentioned giving him barley sugars when he was feeling 'hypo' but this morning I gave him a...

Thanks so much for that everyone. It's typical isn't it, yesterday I didn't go on the pc and missed all that info, there's a lesson there. I feel like I've had my blinkers taken off !! As I was reading it all I was thinking 'how come I didn't think of that, it's all so obvious'. Like they say...
