I've been told nothing yet but it is early days for me. I've read on so many other sites though that fruit, rice, pasta and many other foods that are high carb are the way forward for T2s. Some of these people were allegedly told these things by healthcare professionals and dieticians fgs!!!

Don't click the reply button under people's posts. It's probably the forums security settings stopping you from quoting in replies. You have found the most helpful place here, I've only been diagnosed for a few weeks, put straight onto Metformin and not much in the way of dietary advice from my...

And there I was thinking I had hit on a million dollar idea that big corps were ignoring lol I honestly thought the keto diet, both for dietary choice and necessity for T2s was a much bigger market. I understand the difference between wanting or even needing to reduce carbs vs the immense...

But surely the market for diabetics food products isn't much smaller than lactose intolerant products?? Is it just the perception of a small market because of the differing opinions on dietary requirements for diabetics? I've read on this forum numerous times now that there are still dieticians...

Are big companies missing a trick here or is it really that difficult? I have read articles and watched numerous videos of people producing their own low carb foods that emulate regular daily products that non diabetics enjoy such as bread, biscuits (cookies if you're American lol) cakes...

I'm only just getting used to my diabetes so if I suggest something unsuitable then please choose to ignore me. Most mornings I'm fine with a small cooked breakfast, an omelette, a couple of pork sausages etc. Occasionally I just can't face it though and I end up just having a couple of ryvita...

I've got the time but not sure if it's for me. I've gone ultra low carb for a brief period, partly because of my diagnosis and partly to help with weight loss. I feel if they start suggesting that some carbs are fine and I should be eating them, I'll be tempted to go back to my old ways of...

I received a letter a couple of weeks ago inviting me to this self management course. They are offering me the online "MyDESMOND" course. I've read a few threads on the forum with mixed reactions to the course. I'm not sure if I feel the need for it myself if I can get basically the same advice...

https://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/saladitos-lupin-flour-400g-6100001943 Currently on offer at Holland and Barrett.

H&B is cheaper at the minute while it's reduced. £2.49 compared to £3.39 for the Amazon 5 pack listing.

Holland and Barrett have lupin flour on offer if you have a branch near you. Out of stock in my local branch though. https://www.hollandandbarrett.com/shop/product/saladitos-lupin-flour-400g-6100001943 I'll have to order oat fibre online. This diabetes is costing me a fortune. :D

I'm looking into this oat fibre. The bread recipe I posted called for bamboo fibre or oat fibre as a replacement. Both only seem to be available online. Even Holland and Barrett don't stock them. Are there any high street locations to buy this stuff?

I have actually tried that one and it was one of the better ones. Regular chaffles taste too cheesy and believe me, my missus calls me a big mouse because I'll eat cheese straight from the block!! The only issue, it was a little rubbery and a little bit bland. I intend to try it again but add a...

I've tried a couple of these 90 second breads and I've not found one that I enjoy. They're either too crumbly when toasted or too bitter. Chaffles taste too cheesy (and I love cheese) or if made without cheese they are too dry and like rubber. I guess I'm being a little too picky, I'm used to...

I've actually never seen measuring cups. I've always been an old fashioned scale kind of person. Took me years to accept grams over ounces :D I guess this is why my bread ended so badly, I didn't know what was meant by new standard flour! Clearly a blend of ingredients. I need to read...

I have actually been watching a couple of her videos and the recipes seem pretty good and quite easy. The only major problem is the conversion from American measurements to UK. Over there it's a cup of this and 2 cups of that, well that doesn't help when we don't have measuring cups here! A...

That's not the easy route for me. Bread was a huge part of my diet and taking it out, although better for me has left a massive hole in my diet. I've tried doing without but it's quite difficult for me.

Lupin flour, never heard of it but after googling, finally, a reasonably priced ingredient! Only a couple of pounds for a bag.

o_O Wow, that's some pricey bread. I would definitely rather try making my own.

I've been trying a few recipes for low carb alternatives to regular foods such as bread. This is main one as until my diagnosis I had no idea how much my diet relied on the stuff!! I've tried a few different recipes including 90 second breads, 2 and 3 ingredient chaffles & a waffle style almond...
