I actually don't think it's cost me anything extra! I now cook from scratch (so I know what's going in!) instead of buying expensive ready meals. We tend not to have 'puddings' (except full fat yoghurt and fruit), no bread, rice or spuds for me and non-diabetic OH has really cut those carbs...

Previously I only had them toasted, but was on a course the other day to which you had to 'bring lunch' so I made a sandwich with loads of butter, ham and cheese. Everyone commented on my delicious looking sarnie and were really interested in the roll! I do hope I haven't converted a load of...

My next expedition! Frozen avocardo hunt!!

Nuts (any kind, as far as I can tell) seem to have no effect on my BG, but I am a bit of an adict and I think I have far too many calorie-wise!!

I still shop in the same places, but do go to Lidl more often (you KNOW why!) and I am definitely cooking from scratch more. As somebody mentioned, I have to take my specs with me as I do read every (tiny) label, looking for the carb value! I've also become a little more adventurous, maybe -...

Bit late, I know! But I made these almond and flax seed pancakes on Tuesday - I think the recipe was off the Atkins website. They were absolutely delicious!! With 'low sugar' maple syrup (fake!), double cream and half a banana! My OH (non-diabetic) also thought they were amazing!! The...

I have a different make, too. I got it on a special offer (Groupon I think) a while ago and it works out less than £1 a pack - there was the rice, noodles and spaghetti. I agree that the smell on opening is absolutely disgusting! BUT, if you really rinse it well the smell disappears. The...

I had insulin while pregnant 26 and 21 years ago and then Byetta and Victoza about 4 years ago - all of which worked really well. The Victoza so well that consultant took me off and said 'goodbye'!! However, this past year I have been very unwell with various things and my BG went through the...

After initially spiking me, I find they are not too bad now (why??) Have them sliced into 2 slices, toasted, one with fried mushrooms and the other with loads of butter and a tiny bit of jam! Only twice weekly treat (and I must say I look forward to them!) Keep them in the freezer and pop them...

For those who are finding it difficult to count or keep track of carbs and/or calories, I think the Carbs and Cals app on my phone is brilliant! If you don't want the app, there's also a book. It's so easy - I look after a number of T1s at school and they all use it with ease. You are...
