    What Thickener?

    I second arrowroot. But you could also try Glucomannan powder which is natural and made from Konjak xantham gum is made from a bacteria through a process of fermentation. It’s pretty safe but I avoid it.

    Wagamamas

    We go to Wagamama, it’s a treat I choose carefully as there are a couple of dishes that are lower carb but I always ask them to replace the rice with more green veg and they always do. It works for me. No puds though just lots of green tea and maybe a coffee to finish with. Good luck.

    How low? The range in the UK is 2- 7.5. Mine is 1.4 and have been lower than normal for quite a few years. Docs arent unduly worried but do keep an eye on it.
