What sort of appointments. The only ones I have are a 6 monthly to have my hba1c, at which time I also get my prescriptions renewed.

Porridge is NOT good for diabetics, too many carbs.

The correct way to test a meal is to test just as you are starting your meal, to get a baseline, then test 1 hour afterwards, this will be your peak, then test again at 2 hours, where you should be back to your starting number. You want only a 2 point rise at 1 hour. So if you start at 6.4, at...

I would also check their ingredients for non compliant foods - just because they are low carb or keto doesnt mean they are diabetic friendly, they could contain wheat, soy, canola oils etc.

The wholemeal bread and brown rice is not doing you any good. You need fats in your diet to keep you satiated and feeling full.

I gave you advice on what to eat and what not to eat and you replied with all the reasons you couldnt do what I suggested. Then here you are again asking the same question!

I eat 8 gm of carbs PER DAY, not per biscuit. You can do better

Just looking at some of the things you eat, there are hidden carbs in your meals. Breakfast: berries should only be eaten when you have your numbers under control, also soy yoghurt is not the best either, you should be eating full fat unsweetened greek yoghurt. Bacon and eggs would be a better...

If you are feeling tired and weak because of low carb, you must increase your fats. Your body needs something to run on and if its not carbs (which is good) it must be fats and proteins. Forget about the low calories, with all that is going on with your body at the moment you are stressing it...

What meds are you on Karen? If they are insulin type meds, meds that lower your BG, you might need to talk to your Dr about lowering the dose if you are having lows while on LCHF. Oh and just a heads up, your Dr. will probably freak that you are following LCHF. They will tell you that you...

Hi @kas3554, I'm Silvia, and I live in Melbourne, so almost in the same timezone. I was diagnosed just over a year ago, and I got my BG numbers under control fairly quickly following LCHF. I started out eating 30g carbs per day but now eat less than 10g carbs per day usually. I track what I...

I am with you on this, I just can't wrap my head around the reason why 'the others' think that eating real food is such a shocking thing to do. I am certainly not going to die because I don't eat potatoes or bread or cereals or sugar etc.

Test as you start to eat, then test at one hour, then again at 2 hours. At 1 hour you will catch the spike, so anything more than a 2 point rise is probably not good to eat. At 2 hours you should be back to your starting number, or close to it.

Seriously though, how expensive is it to offer bacon and eggs, or sausages or even a burger (without the bun)?

Bacon and eggs, Eggs and bacon, then bacon, then eggs. And a salad or brocolli. And some cheese. No bread, no pasta, no sugar, no grain. Cream in your coffee. Easy as and cheap too

Pickles, my go to when I have cravings. Crunchy, salty and sour - perfect.

Try bacon and eggs instead of cereal. You shouldnt feel hungry and your BS should stay even, without a spike. #LCHF

Mushrooms could be the problem, they do spike some people (me included). Try them again another day, test, and see if you get a similar result.

Do you test to see your blood glucose numbers. The sickly feeling could be your numbers shooting up. You should try the LCHF way of eating, low carbs, higher healthy fats. My numbers came down and are steadily in the mid 4 to low 5 range and I feel 1000% better than 12 months ago.
