    Slimming World

    I get what people are saying. When I say I used to low carb, I'm talking VERY low carb like 30g a day. Now I'm probably around 100g a day, i don't measure. I can't remember the last time I had bread. Yes I had been eating cereal, mainly for the convenience. Yes I have started eating apples...

    Slimming World

    I did low carb for about 5 years. I lost a good chunk of weight but would end up falling off the wagon every now and then. In the end I fell off and binged and ended up over several months putting all the weight back on. I kept telling myself I'd go back to low carbing but it just didn't happen...

    Slimming World

    I'm not controlled. My theory is the weight loss will inturn help too. I have swapped cereal this week for eggs for breakfast as I suffer with high numbers in the morning. I'm testing very rarely. For example Tuesday after work before dinner I was 10.6. By swapping the cereal for eggs in the...

    Slimming World

    Hi, I haven't been very active here for a while. My Diabetes has not been well controlled in the last couple of years. I think although I did well eating on Low carb for a few years and my figures were great, it just wasn't sustainable for me. I have since discovered Slimming World, and now...

    Lyxumia

    Thanks for your comments @luceeloo I've just started the Purple pen and (touch wood) still no side effects. I've found injecting in my stomach to be the easiest and most pain free. Yes it was said that my appetite would decrease..... not noticed that yet. When you say eat within the hour, I was...

    Lyxumia

    Well I guess not many are on this injectable. I've recently taken my 3rd dose. I'm on the green pen which is half dose for the first 14 days. So far the only side effect seems to be diarhea. (Can't spell it). So far so good.

    Lyxumia

    Hi, I have been away from the forum for some time, mainly due to falling of the low carb wagon. I do still try to lower carb but with 3 jobs find it hard to be so prepared as I found very low carb needed to be. I have now been put on Lyxumia and just wondered what others experiences of it are...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Hi, it's really easy. I have a very large deep wok, I chuck in approx 1kg bag of frozen broccoli, add 3-4pints of chicken stock, bring to the boil. Then add stilton, as much or as little as you like, maybe some cream if you want, then blend. Does me about 10 portions. I bought some Addis...

    Bread and Bread Recipes

    http://www.diabetes.co.uk/diabetes-forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=38774&hilit=perfect+low+carb+bread+sam+jb#p362025 I've found the above recipe makes a nice loaf. The flavour takes a little getting used to but it's so easy to make. I might get my bread maker out this weekend.

    Linagliptin

    I guess I'll give it a go. Still haven't taken any yet. Had a ****** week. Feeling better now so maybe I'll be able to tell if any issues are side effects, rather than tonsilitis or cold. I don't think suggesting insulin is the way to go when someone needs to lose weight. In my opinion that...

    Linagliptin

    Hi, I've been away from the forums for a while and also from my Low carb eating. But now I'm back as the nurse wants to increase my meds. My latest Hba1c was 8.8% which for me is terrible. I'm planning my food shopping and meal plans from this weekend, after I've been paid and will be back on...

    To snack or not to snack?

    My thoughts would be your not getting enough fat for fuel which is why your liver is dumping? Maybe try increasing your fat intake. Maybe fat bombs?
