My sugars have been largely controlled & perfect from my blood tests I have every 6 month. But for around a year I stopped taking my pills which include Simvastatin's. Then I had a blood test 4 months ago & my cholesterol levels were high but my sugars under control to a T. I know if I eat what...

Well I'm pretty sure my sugars can't rise beyond 9.4 & drop again within the 2 & half hours without insulin considering the quantity I ate lol.

I have made a great discovery. Was looking around the shops & found Gullon Sugar free chocolate flavoured waver biscuits. I thought why not. But before I ate, I checked my sugars & they were 7.2 before eating. I didn't take any insulin. I opened the packaged & inside were individual packets of 8...

If you bake. I recommend you try Xylitol. It's used in sugar free gum & in all toothpaste. It's 1/1 in sweetness to sugar so you can measure it as if it was the real thing. The only thing you can't do with it is caramelise it. No matter how hot you heat the pan. it won't caramelise! But it will...

I've seen coconut milk powder & I do like coconut so might try that & let you know how it goes ;) I've mastered Victoria Sponge mix using just flower, egg, milk & low sugar butter & ground up Xylitol sugar using a coffee grounder. It looks & tastes like icing sugar. It's fab stuff. I can eat...

I'm experimenting with sugar free chocolate I make at home using cocoa butter & powder + sweetener & milk/milk powder. But I'm finding that I need powder form over milk as it prevents it from setting. I've looked up some sugar free on google & it presents me with Coconut milk. Goats milk & so...

Yep. As soon as I can I will be going to the store where I purchased them from Home Bargains I believe & let them know that these so called sweeteners are anything but sugar free as you would expect from a sweetener. Stick to what you know is what I usually say but hay ho, we all learn from...

Hi, that was just a generalisation of the food I eat. I don't eat cakes, sweats or sugary drinks. I've always been spot on with everything until now. However, I just had some food today, had my insulin & everythings been spot on! I tried to think of what caused this sudden change & I've only...

I'm on NovaMix 30 since day one.

I'm not on a pump. I inject for breakfast & before tea. Had no issues until now!

Been type 1 since I was 25, so coming to 10 years this august. Now from day 1 I've been very careful & my sugar's have always been spot on. I like a bit of routine with my food. For example, on Fridays I always have fish. Mondays I have a some meat & veg & so on. Anyways, for the passed 2 weeks...

Hi, I use stevia also for some baking but sometimes you need something thick & gooey like syrup to make the sugar free chocolate & coconut oil is great as its sugar free but it returns to melted form when it warms up to room temp. I have grown Stevia plant, difficult but never again. But the...

Hi, I have been playing with baking & ways to enjoy treats with little effect on my sugar levels & I have discovered sugar free chocolate using coconut oil, coco powder & vanilla & its nice but it requires the constant refrigeration as it will revert to liquid state if left out too long. I baked...

You know I sometime's have to wake up 2 or 3 time's during the night to urinate. But sometimes I get the sensation I need to urinate but all I get is a drip. It's an extremely uncomfortable feeling & unable to relax until I've been. Recently went on holiday to Turkey. On the plain for 4 & half...

I honestly would hate having a device attached to my body. I'm type 1 & the thought of having a device that slowly pumps insulin or glucose into my body whenever I get low or high is just a way to get lazy. I'm on top of my Diabetes & I take 2 injections a day, 1 before breakfast & 1 before tea...
