Wow, i had some cherries the other day with my breakfast and before breakfast they were 13.1 and 2 hours Later they were 13.

Bit confusing as someone said above going from T1 to T2. The idea is a good one, but I think perhaps the wording needs more work. I am assuming you’re trying to say that since the various levels of issues with insulin in both T1 and T2, the theory of calories IN vs calories OUT, don’t apply in...

Day and night:)

Yep, I agree with resugam, looks clear. Is the woman meant to be the person with diabetes? Because for me, since they are both talking it seems like they are both informing the other and if it were a doctor/patient then it would seems like one should/would ask the question and the other would...

I cannot believe how much things have changed in 1 week since i changed things. I’ve lost 3.5 kilos, well according to my scales it is more like 11 pounds but I’m ok with that. My weight going down is good but my sugars are what I am more concerned with. My AM morning sugars have fallen from...

Thanks so much for commenting. Sounds interesting. Husband is just experimenting with almond flour. He made me some rolls and they were lovely, with wheat gluten. But Ive bought psyllium husk so will see how that all works in stuff. I like the almond four but did make the bread a bit more heavy...

As always, thanks for the info. Great breakdown. Much appreciated.

I see. I bought the Icing Sugar one so it is powdery rather than grainy. I will try them both. I did read people had a ‘menthol’ type response, i.e cooling sensation with it. But If i made say, mint chocolate brownies with it I doubt anyone would notice except my husband who will comment on...

Hi rob, Like others I, too, have PCOS and diagnosed properly when I was 20 after my husband and I spend a year trying to conceive. I also, like your wife, was told to lose weight which I found difficult, in spite of being highly physically active and eating a very ‘healthy diet” whole grains...

Wow! Just got a proper scare. I remembered I needed to check my BG after my late cottage cheese breakfast. My morning reading was 11, which is good for me, going down a little each morning. However, I check and it read 14.4. I thought, that must be wrong, I’ve only had cottage cheese, my...

I don’t drink hot drinks of any kind. I only drink water and because of that, I am not a ‘sweet’ person I don’t actually crave sweets and even before my recent dx, if I had a sweet dessert or sweets I didn’t have many as everything always tastes super sweet to me as I am not used to sweet stuff...

Hi all, Just wondered what people thought about these and using them in baking? I been doing a bit of reading up and thought about experimenting with them for the odd dessert for myself and the family, using keto type recipes. I’ve read pros and cons regarding reviews of the products but...

Obviously not! Well done. Fingers crossed it isn’t water weight, but i do drink 3L a day so should be ok

I take it other’s are so lucky? I do live in a small village and she is a lovely nurse.

Well, I had my first nurses review about my T2. She was lovely and listened to what I had to say. After our chat she agreed that I could find out all the info I needed on my own and as she had been to the ‘desmond’ group to see how it worked she thought it may not benefit me as she could tell I...
