    Blood Glucose Meter recommendations

    I've recently purchased a Tee2+ which has reasonably priced test strips. The Bluetooth was appealing and it did pair with my iPhone -- but only once. If screen size is important to you, it's got a great screen. But how accurate is it? One thing I've learned with BG meters is that none of them...

    Ozempic

    Just sharing my experience with Ozempic. I've ben a T2 diabetic for ... 15 plus years. I was on a max dose of Metformin, Gliclazide and briefly Linagliptin as I was awaiting referral to the diabetes clinic. I was put on Ozempic in mid-September of last year at the base dose of 0.25mg, then...

    Best times to take metformin

    Perfect Low Carb Bread Recipe!!

    Interesting on oats. To be honest I blended an entire box (1kg) the other day, so I won't need to worry for a while. But I'll give it a go at a later date. I do quite like the idea of "artisan". :)

    Perfect Low Carb Bread Recipe!!

    Thank you LouWilk059 for the extra hints. My first two attempts were using the suggested cups to ml measure conversion in the first post. Which proved ... problematic. Twice. Such a waste. So I bought some cups and yesterday made Gabi's Low Carb Bread in my breadmaker, which turned out rather...

    Perfect Low Carb Bread Recipe!!

    I realise this is a very old thread, but it’s recent for me. Tried the recipe twice now using the dreaded “cup” formula of one cup = 235ml formula!!!! Attempt 1: Cups > ml > to realworld grams :nailbiting: worked out at nearly 750g of dry ingredients, which is a lot, given the mere 1.5 cups of...
