Poached is a pain (takes too long for me) but love them like that, slice of room temp salmon on the top so they draw some egg heat, rashers of bacon and buttered mushrooms. Heaps of ways to have them
Good (ish) figures starting to show up
I skipped a few ...but was told it didn't give the right picture ... but when you are 25.2 Bcg before your evening meal it frightens me....so I starve !glad to have helped you... once you get used to low carb it gets easier... my sugars are around 10 or 11 at the moment, depending on what time of day i test..and i admit i have skipped a couple of meals in the last few days
I called the NHS Helpline 111 one weekend just for some advice about my new drugs regime as BGC was very high ...I was asked to go to an out of hours (23.00hrs )GP appointment at my local (nearest but still 20 miles away) . The GP admitted she knew nothing about diabetes and had not heard of the new drugs I was on. I won't be calling again.Thanks for the tag @Natalie1974
I totally agree with all the advice you have been given so far. Continue to drink plenty of low carb drinks. Water is best. How about sparkling water if you can't stand it plain? If you can go out for a walk or other exercise then this will help to bring your levels down
You do need to stop having high carb foods (maybe when your BGs are back to non-diabetic levels you will be able to add some back) . Vegetables (not root vegetables) and protein and fats are fine (not low fat products, instead choose real butter, cream, lard, olive oil etc.) These will help to fill you.
Here's some links to help you

Hopefully if you can low carb and exercise your numbers will start to fall very soon.
Keep monitoring your BGs throughout the day and keep asking questions. Don't forget the NHS Helpline 111 is there if you need it or if things get worse.
Good luck
How fantastic !! ......I have told my husband that I shall be having a fry up every morning instead of porridge ...he has the biggest smile on his face. Well done You xwell theres a nice surprise.. just tested my bg after my lunch and its down to 9.3 that`s the first reading under 10 since i have been testing... another upside to this lchf diet is im losing some weight even though its bacon and eggs every day for breakfast
porridge isnt that great, its loaded with carbs...the bacon and eggs option has close to zero... 1 large egg is about 0.6g of carbs and the bacon doesn't have any... no toast though lol, if you want sausages too, bratwurst are pretty low in carbs too as they dont have any filler in them good luck martinabray, and dont forget the mushrooms cooked in butter

Yes, I did wonder about the quality of the help there, but thought I ought to mention it anyway.I called the NHS Helpline 111 one weekend just for some advice about my new drugs regime as BGC was very high ...I was asked to go to an out of hours (23.00hrs )GP appointment at my local (nearest but still 20 miles away) . The GP admitted she knew nothing about diabetes and had not heard of the new drugs I was on. I won't be calling again.
That's exactly as I feel...the advice I've received from this forum has been invaluable in turning my diabetes around...if I can help anyone even half as much as I have been helped myself...I'm a happy bunnythanks Natalie...i have been helped by the forum since i joined and absorbed the advice given..also been reading loads..if i can pass advice onto someone else and help them..its the least i can do
