After the drops go in you won't be able to read or see your phone or a book, so maybe download something soothing to listen to while you wait for the next part of the process. Sometimes at my clinic the wait can be quite long (understatement!)

Perhaps try natural yoghurt (fat level to suit you) mixed with some milled seeds and some berries. Made earlier and left in the fridge it thickens to more of a porridge consistency

Not all kimchis are as good as each other. I don't see a direct relation to my bg (except they don't raise it), but do eat them to try increase the variety of my gut microbiome. Rather than small jars (which may have been pasturised) I try to get the really big bags from Asian supermarkets...

I have an A50 and although the Libre works, having Bluetooth on really slows down all other apps and drains the battery. I'm looking to upgrade soon, maybe an a17, whatever the newest one in £200 range is? Check the Bluetooth version is what ai is advising me.

For me (female 5'6" normal bmi, T2 hba1c about 41) that would be too little food. I can get readings in the 3s sometimes and it always coincides with fasting or hunger. are you losing weight? On purpose or accidentally? Try increasing portion sizes, perhaps? And try a protein only snack before...

Edited to amend typo Tracking, using Carb Manager, helped me in the early days while I learned what and how much. Never needed anything other than thr free level. What are your favourite foods @MAGGYNHERKY ? there's often low carb replacement s or alternatives, especially if you mind a little...

Friends are just back from one that had an outbreak. He got poorly , she didnt, even though they were confined to cabin for 2 days (because he was ill, not whole ship). Best prevention is regular hot water and soap handwashing eg before and after each meal and using toilet. Sanitisers dont...

So sorry you are so cold. Its still unseasonably warm here, fingers crossed for a thunderstorm overnight - the garden needs it so. I'm heading your way, I think, in August. We're doing a 10 day sailing trip Hebrides but I'm not in charge of the route. Fingers crossed its warmer by then, for...

Yes, they are what I call the seedy crackers :) I think their full title is Super Seeded rackers nutrients dense. They are only seeds. A while ago they were out of stock for ages so I developed a way of making my own, not quite as good, but acceptable

All I know from my own experience is that it's better to stick through it, and yes it does get harder each time, hence why I'm more motivated to stick with low carb rather than veering off and back again Remember "carb flu "is just your internal toddler throwing a tantrum that you've taken it's...

I've seen this one. Loved Dr Unwins calm delivery and gentle humour. Well worth a watch

I had an M&S voucher for my birthday so it went on lc treats: Olive oil mayo Little packets of snacking seeds Flat crispbread, a cheese one they do is only 4 g carbs a slice Cheese "clouds" ie dried cheese = cheesies Dark chocolate coated salted almonds Nut bars, their ones are bigger and...

And McDonald's, my go to for quick cheap lunch. Double cheese burger (nothing fancy down bottom of menu). Throw away the bun, eat with fingers and a pile of napkins, £2.48. Beef, salt cheese simples

Dishoom does a very nice whole chicken... they think its for 4 but I did nearly manage all of it. The Big Easy is good for meats. Haven't been for a while but the mixed grill on their set lunch was very reasonable for the price

My husband enjoys Ghost Ship 0.5% from Adnams Or Lucky Saint 0.5%. Peroni 0 seems widely available nowadays and he drinks that if we are out for a meal. No idea of the carbs though, he's not diabetic, just a driver
