I just sprinkle a spoonful of picked onion "juice" on mine :)

Some of the "supermarket" coated chicken/fish are remarkably high in carbs! for instance a birds eye breaded cod fillet is a whopping 21g carbs!

Being not hugely talented in the kitchen :) I was wondering if anyone had a simple recipe to make a low carb breadcrumb coating for chicken/fish etc out of some low carb bread, srsly or similar? I'm guessing I blitz a slice of bread (fresh or stale??) and use egg to make it stick, but...

Yes that looks in the right area. Oh well, something else on the "NO" list! I've eaten other stuff with malitol in it and not noticed such a big effect, but then I guess a teaspoon of no added sugar jam or chocolate spread is a bit different to 70g in one go! Thanks Mat

Has anyone noticed Malitol spiking your blood glucose ? I've had a couple of huge spikes recently (I've been wearing a CGM) that I can't explain by anything other than eating a pack (70g) of fellows sugar free ***** bears . . . . . In the last 8 hours I've eaten a chicken and hard boiled egg...

Complete and utter waste of time and money. I had one a few years ago, lost quite a lot of weight initially, but that was basically as it made me so ill I couldn't keep any food down for about a week. Next couple of months I lost a bit more slowly, then it seemed as if my body adapted to...

I tried it. Can't say it made much difference at all to my BG levels. I also tried Chia seeds on my breakfast eggs for a couple of weeks, which was another suggestion that seems to be all over the internet. They made no difference either. On the other hand a 20 min swim seems to have a...

I keep some strawberries in the fridge. 3 or 4 seems to satisfy my sweet tooth most of the time!

I'm not convinced the Statin is needed. I can't remember the exact numbers but my Cholesterol was "slightly high"

That's interesting it's atorvastatin 20mg I'm currently on.

Has anyone else had issues with tiredness when taking statins? I was put on Statins a couple of months ago and have been having issues with tiredness and "lethargy" ever since. I can get out of bed, walk down the stairs and sit in an armchair and promptly doze back off! I stopped taking...

Does anyone have a decent pastry recipie that doesn't use Almond Flour? I'm really missing sausage rolls :)

Anyone else testing glucose while on Rybelsus? I've noticed that if I eat a carby meal it seems to take much longer than before for glucose to peak. Something to do with the rybelsus slowing down digestion??? I had a naughty KFC last night and it took over 3 hours to peak, and then another...

I tried that, didn't seem to make much difference to me. Eggs however, if I eat eggs i just feel completely full for the rest of the day!!

Currently on a combination of empagliflozin and rybelsus. Also currently wearing a libre 2 free trial. I forgot to take my empagliflozin yesterday. And as far as I can see from the libre app it made absolutely no difference to my glucose levels through the day, or my fasting level first thing...
