Thank you everyone for your comments, I'm overwhelmed by all the help you guys are giving. I'm so very pleased that I found this forum, not only does it make addictive reading, the links have been a great help but it's also a pkace that I'm finding answers to the silliest of questions.

Thanks Freema, I will have a read, I've got so much reading to do tonight :)

Briantheelder Much respect to you, you have had multiple battles to over come. I have yet to give up smoking, after a year of therapy I had just started to get my head into stopping and I will do it, it's just this has thrown a road block in my path and I need to get my head round it. But...

Thanks Miahara. It's taken a lot of perserverience to get them here, I've upped my activity loads, and I'm obsessive at the moment with what I eat... It's driving my family nuts :) but the more in control of them, I may be able to put off advancing to insulin which my doctors have all ready...

Bluetit, think this makes the most sense so far, I will give one a go in a couple of days time, but for the moment I'm not touching them. However.... Can I just say how much I enjoyed it. Loads of butter, a cup of coffee and ok if it was this weeks treat then so be it. I think the craving was...

Thank you, just gone and looked, I think I need to go through what they have, and it looks like I'm going to be trying a few of them very soon

Hi Briantheelder Bread has always been a problem for me, even before I was diagnosed, I know it's still going to be a problem for me.. God I sound like an alcoholic .. But I've avoided eating it completly over the last four weeks. After reading about the lidl protein roll I bought 1.... Tested...

Hi Miahara It was about 3pm that I ate it. I'm currently doggie sitting so I've been a bit more active than I normally am and I was hungry this afternoon. I had been saving the roll for a treat and I just wanted toast, with butter and nothing else... Think that might have been my mistake. I...

Thanks for this... I've just googled fathead pizza and I'm off to tesco now to see if I can get some almond flour... Really how nice does that sound.... Far far far far nicer than my cauliflower one. And think your right I should be able to use the base as a substitute....

Hi chalup... I'm googling now :) I've made a cauliflower pizza base which is basically cauli rice eggs and cheese, that was good and it works really well as a pizza base, and I felt like I was eating something I would normally eat. I've also made pancakes with oat flour, which is low carb but...

Just looked at the almond bread recepe think I'm going to buy some almond flour and give if a go. I love almonds and this sounds really good... :)

Hi Bluetit, I had it this afternoon as a snack toasted with loads of butter on. Maybe I should have added more protein with it but I just wanted toast :) it's what I'm missing most, but it's really spiked my BS levels. I wonder if it's because it's the biggest carb intake I've had in the last...

Thanks I'm off to have a look now .... I knew bread was going to be hard but how hard?

I'm going to try making the oopsie/ cloud bread but from what I've seen it just tastes like baked omelets... But I suppose no carbs

Hi thanks Resurgam I'm pretty scared about reintroducing carbs at the moment, doctor wanted me low carb and sugar for another two weeks until I get bloods taken again so this would be just an occasional treat at the moment, and I like the way I can buy one roll and there is no further...

Hi this might have been covered before but couldn't find specific answers so bear with me. I'm currently 4 weeks and three days from being diagnosed T2 and from the first day of diagnosis I've been really low carb and as little sugar as I can get it, I won't say sugar free because of the carbs...

Hi Can I ask if your on meds for your depression? Or have they changed your meds recently for it if you are? The reason I ask is I was put into a mood stabiliser called depokote about 7 years ago, with no changes to my diet my weight rose from a weight that was constant for 20 years prior...

My doctor on diagnosing me with type 2 immediately said you need a very low carb diet, I was dianosed 4 weeks ago now. He gave me a brief outline on what I needed to do and eat, he told me to reduce my sugar intake to as low as possible and my target was to get my blood sugar level down from...

Hi, The syrups I use are American, and I have found loads out there, but my friends used these and I can buy them locally which I sort of like doing. I really want to try others and will eventually go online to find them, but at the moment I've spfound what's working. I've been trying to cut...

Hi, I'm so p,eased somebody else has heard of the syrups, I love the caramel one in quark, I mix a coup,e of tablespoons worth with sweetener and it tastes a bit like old fashioned butterscotch Angel delight :) I've been using both that and the chocolate one in my coffee. As for the jams, I...
