    How long are you on LCHF diet?

    Nearly 10 years although I have been in remission for several years I have generally a lowish carb diet but don't count carbs any more, just stay off obviously high carb stuff. However, during lockdown I've lost the plot rather and so testing recently had some poor readings . Am trying to get...

    Was in Remission now concerned

    Hi I am not keen on Tofu - I find soy beans in many forms upset my digestion. Thanks for the verge forum link. I used to be on that years ago. I think I found the problem with my levels - possibly a faulty meter or old strips. Haven't been testing regularly for the last few years as I was...

    Was in Remission now concerned

    That's a good idea but I always have lots of veg in the freezer as we are all 3 vegetarians. I use lots of carrots, swede and celeriac which all keep quite well for a week or so. I find we need one of those with things like vegeburgers or low carb souffle or one of those types of dishes where...

    Was in Remission now concerned

    Thank you for this - I hadn't considered that. I am on high blood pressure meds but they don't usually cause problems. No other meds. But I haven't been feeling great, I thought it was the high sugar levels as I was so tired for a few days. I think I know where the carbs come from but...

    Was in Remission now concerned

    Thanks for this - I mostly do all that except for the dried fruit and veg. However I keep lots of frozen. I alternate Sainsbury's and a vegetable box company weekly and top up with the odd bits from the milkman who delivers cheese, eggs, yoghurt and some fruit and veg etc. I just seem to run...

    Was in Remission now concerned

    Thanks for this microwave tip, I always have butternut squash and we roast it in cubes with other veg like shallots and then add feta or goats cheese before it is finished You can roast them whole or halved in the oven with skins on too.. I often pop the seeds in too. You're right it is...

    Was in Remission now concerned

    Hi everyone, I have not posted here for years as I managed to get my diabetes into remission with l ow Carb vegetarian meals and stayed there for over 5 years. However, the last few weeks I have been sleepy after meals and my morning levels have gone from between 5 and 6 to 8.7 over a couple...

    Carb Count for Bijoux Verts Lentils

    Sorry it took so long to reply I don't use this board as much there days. It is only tough eating out now - I've adjusted all my receipes to low carb and invented a few more. I loath tofu and other soy products except Soy sauce so just use ground almonds for most things. My HbA1c is only 5.5...

    A century of weight gain.

    If eating between meals and snacking is one of the problems, perhaps we should frown on people eating in the street or on public transport, my school rules in the 1960's forbade eating (in school uniform of course) in public. I still think it looks slovenly as does drinking from a can or bottle...

    Are You A Diabetes Bore?

    I was the most enormous bore and continue to be so when I find myself eating out with people I do not know well and say "one little bit wont hurt you". Would you say that to a drug addict or alcoholic who was trying to keep away from what harms them? I also am a vegetarian so it is doubly hard...
