    Beer

    Mostly drink spirits now with Coke Zero or wine.on a Saturday night. Couple of pints doesn’t seem to impact me BG wise though. Been looking for Michelob Ultra but can’t find it anywhere? Anyone got any ideas where to get it?

    Ketones and Glucose both present in urine dip test

    I’m not on any meds, pre-diabetic and diet controlled with extensive exercise. I had a large cappuccino and chocolate shortbread at Costa today . Very naughty I know.

    Thank you, I do hope it does encourage others . Obviously I need to keep on it and not think I’ve beaten this because we all know it can creep back. I am convinced that low-carb has been the key for me.

    Lansoprazole

    That’s really interesting I’d never really thought about omeprazole as I used to take it regularly, but since going low-carb and keto I’ve not need to take it for a long time. Never made the link between low-carb and a better digestion

    Ultimate (hopefully) Christmas Thread - Tips, Tricks, "Hacks", Coping Mechanisms, Swaps, Recipes - Anything goes!

    I tend to have a couple of beers on Christmas Eve for a treat but keep to low carb. On the big day - smoked salmon starter and traditional Christmas dinner but no potatoes and a few drops of gravy. No desserts but love a cheeseboard and a glass of port [emoji106]

    Coffee

    It’s quite strange, I’ve been using unsweetened soya milk for over a year and now really like it. Coffee consumption went right down when I first swapped, but now I look forward to my early morning Cuppa.
