thats a shame. what didn't you like about them?

For years I have got shaky and lightheaded if I haven't eaten for a while so I know how you feel. Before I low carbed I would have dreaded having a fasting test but I haven't had anything like this since I have cut down my carbs. Are you eating less carbs? I was prediabetic but my last...

thank you.

I have read on another thread that using a symbicort inhaler would increase bs levels. My first hbc1a was 46 and the GP said that my glucose level had risen fairly quickly. I wonder if this was when I started the symbicort? There was obviously a problem too as when I changed my diet (LCHF) my...

thank you! 2 hours later and my stomach feels better. I tested after 2 hours and my bs level was 5.4. Although this is only half the story as I don't know what the level was before I ate 5.4 is OK. I really must order some more test strips as I have not tested for ages and am assuming that...

I was pushed for time and my husband had made some normal batter so I thought I would just have one. I feel so ill. My stomach is bloated and it hurts. I am going to use my last test strip and see if it has affected my bs,

I have just had one pancake and feel so ill:( My stomach is bloated and it hurts. I am going to use my last test strip and see how it has affected my bs (then I really must order some more strips as I haven't tested as much as I should recently).

Thank you for the recipes... I have found the recipe for the bread buns but didn't realise you had to make a day in advance so thanks for the info. I am trying not to use sweeteners (mainly so I don't poison the dog) so may add some cheese for taste. I showed my husband the recipe for coconut...

Thanks! I am going to try the bread bun. Did you make the ice cream? the jelly and ice cream look good.

I weigh myself every Saturday morning when I first get up. My weight is going down slowly but I'm OK with that. The other week I weighed myself on the Saturday morning and then again in the afternoon - my weight had gone up by 2 lbs from the morning - I haven't done it again!

thanks Andy you have just reminded me that coconut macaroons are on my list of things to try

That coconut tart looks good, I may have to try it. I was prediabetic and my hb1ac was down to 40 last month so I could have a bit of leeway but I don't want to get in the trap of "just a bit of flour/sugar" as that is probably what caused the problem in the first place. I will do some...

Does anyone make cakes with no sugar/ sweeteners? I am not keen on the taste of sweeteners and was wondering if almond flour would provide enough sweetness. I have been thinking about trying this then today I was eating a piece of cake, went to put a sock in the washing basket and when I came...

I think they will be next on my list

well done on getting the strips etc. My GP said no but I am prediabetic so didn't push it. If you see any good deals food wise locally let me know!

I am near Durham? Did I read on another thread that you got test strips on prescription? Do you buy ingredients/food online or locally?

I made this cake yesterday and it is delicious:) I only had a small lemon and think it needs a bit more for a lemony taste but the texture is lovely. Tastes great with creme fraiche. Will definitely make this again. Thank you!

here is a link to the 1 minute muffin: http://healthylivinghowto.com/1/post/2011/09/one-minute-muffin.html

would almond flour work? I am still learning too:)

I posted about this yesterday and said the the chocolate brownies I made had an aftertaste and were not nice. I have tried supermarket versions of stevia and splenda and found both bitter. I will have a look for total sweet and give it a try
