Husband has been diet controlled for years, using low carb. I can eat the same as him now, see how it goes. Thanks both xxx

I will, for a short time. Just a bit doubtful that food can make a difference now.Will try it and see :)

So if you tighten up your diet does that help at all,Outlier?

NHS site says these meds will - or at least a couple of them - will cause a rise in BG and patients should be tested regularly just in case. :confused:

Not been tested yet but I know they'll find me pre-diabetic when they get round to it. I've always had totally normal BGs of under 5.5. Now since starting a whole bunch of heart meds, my BG is always mid 7s. (Hubby is long term type 2 and I was using his meter to check what was going on with...

Double cream has no carbs! I love my coffee too.

I will get a selection and try them all then see what we like best. And stop the fresh milk now.

I'll try it. We were on Oatly for a while and that tastes nice but is about half the carbs.The daft thing is the more stressed I get about the weight, the more cups of tea I tend to drink :D

I used to get this and forgot all about it!! We liked it -thank you! Think it was costing too much, but right now something desperate needs to be done :arghh:

Is Alpro lower carb? and does it taste like milk??

Yes,I think this is the way to go. With whatever kind of milk, just measure some into a wee jug and use that only.

The green milk, is it semi skimmed? But I love jersey milk so that's an idea!

I was drinking tea on and off all day though, with a fair amount of milk in it. Not just one or two tablespoons. I think I'll pour out a pint in a separate jug then include that in the carb total for the day.
