Winner, winner (low carb) chicken dinner

Have you tried downloading the relevant Disney App? There might be nutritional info in the restaurant bit

Once you run out of people to order the free trial for you Dexcom also run a similar scheme - start all over again with them

Just a quick hug and message that it is possible to come out of the other side of a needle phobia - I know I have. Mine came from several bad experiences as a small child. As an adult I decided to do something about it and did my own exposure therapy by becoming a blood donor (I know that it's...

Lidl do a "low GI" unsliced loaf now and there are also some part-baked rolls and thins similar to the Warburtons ones, but I don't know what the macro's are as I'm trying not to have any bread products (they're the carb I struggle with the most)

As a quick aside, I hope your specialist has gone through "sick day rules" with you for your meds

Thanks, booked for Saturday Morning

Usually (but not always) it's the preservatives in the drops that people develop an allergy to. Ask if there's a single dose - preservative version available

If I was offered it, I would take it

Try making one in just a saucepan on the hob with the same ingredients 1st & using a whisk to mix. I know it won't be exactly the same texture, but you can test the effects on your BG'S

I was shouting rude words at BBC breakfast this morning talking about research that eating ham & red meat "could" increase your risk of Type 2 :banghead:

Ouch that looks very sore, I can't vouch for the underpatches, but the over ones are good from www.typeonestyle.com

If you search Newcastle Diet on the forum, this is the original research, I think that there are links to the recipes for "meals", the reduction in HbAc1 was noted as a side effect of the strict diet people are on before having bariatric surgery, it's basically a VLCD (Very low calorie diet)...
