I might well do that. But I haven't seen it in local shops, so I'd have to order online and pay for delivery, making it an expensive treat - like the low carb sourdough bread already is!

From memory, the Thursday Cottage reduced sugar preserves lasted quite some time.

Thanks @lovinglife. It looks higher quality than Stute. But jams I can live without. It's marmalade I hanker after. And a couple weeks shelf life would be a problem.

That would be 38 gms per 100 gms, so a typical portion for one slice would have say 3-4 gms of sugar. From the lack of response to my post, I gather it's not popular. I don't know if it's pushing the boat out too far, but having discovered a low carb bread that I actually like, I'm starting to...

Thanks @ElenaP. Yes it was sent for lab analysis. Twice. It's great that yours got sorted because you persisted. Sad that receptionists sometimes wrongly filter out contact with a doctor. BTW, @Antje77 I get that Dapagliflozin filters out sugar through the urine, creating an environment ripe...

I've been taking Dapagliflozin for 11 months, and for the past 3 months, I've had awful burning when I pee. I've repeatedly tested negative for a UTI, nevertheless as a precaution given antibiotics, which haven't worked. I don't have the other symptoms of thrush. I have uric acid kidney stones...

Low carb bread.

I don't have it now to confirm if it's what you mean, but yes, I buy them regularly at my local M&S, and they are tasty and don't spike my BG.

Before I began seriously regulating my blood glucose, I used to enjoy Thursday Cottage reduced sugar preserves. I didn't check my blood glucose, so I had no idea how I reacted. Generally, my diabetes was uncontrolled, but I also ate bread, rice, pasta, potatoes, etc., so can't say how the...

4.7 on Libre, but could be inaccurate.

Should this be a concern to those of us prescribed Dapagliflozin? I looked up Canaglflozin's bad side effects and it includes burning urine, which I, on Dapagliflozin, have been suffering from for 3 months, with no UTI and no diagnosis.

Thanks @KennyA and @lovinglife . I get it about some carbs being better tolerated than others, and in my case irrationally so. Like not spiking after a Caffè Nero croissant (they're smaller), but spiking after ricotta pancakes thickened with white flour. If your assessment is right, I need to do...

I recently bought a glucometer to do just that, but I can't get the hang of them. Too many errors. Given I'm more looking for accuracy of trends than numbers, this doesn't worry me too much. My recent A1c was 49 mmol/mol (6.6%) - on a slowish downward trajectory. My meals are lowish carb - say...

Typically, my glucose reading will rise about 3 mmol/L after a meal, which is fine, but it doesn't drop back for 3 hours or longer, as in this example on my CGM. The general assumption is that it should drop back within 2 hours. What does it signify that it takes so long? More curious than...

I got our nurse to apply my first 2 sensors and noted placement and that she fitted it with a lot of pressure. Also watched videos. If your husband has hair where it is to go, maybe worth shaving it off. Also washing, drying, then applying alcohol and letting it dry before applying very...
