I was offered some uncooked Tuesday when I rushed to our local one. Managed to bag a fair few for the freezer so was happy. Might go back down later to have another look later. I had rang them the day before and was told they were changing suppliers, others have had different replies now I’ve...

I’m sorry but that is wrong on so many levels. Your 200g carb meal and a 20 shot is absolutely mental. That’s roughly a full on Indian/Chinese take out with all the trimmings or a large portion of fish and chips. Which would make most type 1’s sugars spike into the high teens, even with that...

It reslly is no trouble at all, everybody is the same on here. All a bunch of helpful peeps helping others to thrive as we have. I use the forum via safari on my browser rather than the app. It’s a lot easier.. Here’s a link to the page. https://itwontdiabeatus.wordpress.com/ (There’s a...

Another good thing about this lifestyle is there is no waste. You cook what your going to eat with no wasted portions. It also saves you loads of money too, which is another pleasant surprise. Talking roughly £25 a week to eat fresh, healthy and wholesome foods.

I have his food list on my it won’t diabeat us page. There’s also ideas for meals plans and recipes. In fact I’ll post it here. It’s more of a U.K. version of dr b’s.. (it’s nice and long) Food list Here is a list of foods that will have little impact on your blood glucose level. One very...

Novorapid will work,you just have to split the dose. Because it works so quickly you may also get hypos before it’s even got to the protein digesting. In fact you may find it’s run it’s course before your body has even started to digest the protein. That’s the spike that was mentioned before by...

I was using lantus and novorapid, it was difficult as I needed to split the novorapid to cover the protein. In the absence of carbs protein does raise your blood sugar. So does fat in the form of what comes from the truffles I mentioned earlier. Too many before bed without insulin to cover and...

It’s not Keto, don’t get the two confused. A lot of type 2 benefit from going Keto. We rely on protein for fuel on our low carb lifestyle As shell mentioned above chocolate is good for the soul. I’ve found a great low carb one. It’s calked Montezuma 100% cocoa. 8g per 100g no sugar added...

It’s called low carb high protein by doctor Bernstein but its not essentially a diet as it’s a sustainable lifestyle with added benefit of loosing weight if you have any to loose. It makes life a whole lot easier being diabetic too once you get your head round it. For my omelette in the...

It’s difficult to get your head round at first. 12g carb salad would need either 1 unit of insulin or 1.5 depending on your carb/insulin ratio. Then for the protein is estimated at 0.5 units per 25g. So 100g protein with your meal would be 2 units plus say 1.5 for the 12g salad. Very low dose...

My normal day is 2 egg omelette with cheese or for a treat a slice of smoked ham or a pre cooked sausage out of the fridge. Slice of pastrami, maybe some bell peppers or mushrooms chucked in. 2 boiled eggs and cold sausages out of the fridge. Lunch is either a nice salad consisting of...

I am a type one and follow a very low carb lifestyle. I consume around 26g a day. I now use humulin s to cover my meals. I still have my novorapid for corrections. You only need to eat carbs to get the nutrients your body needs. This include all the low carb green veggies like broccoli...

I wouldn’t suggest any shakes as a type one. They would metabolise quite quickly. Even low carb ones would have quicker absorbing protein which will eventually spike sugars without enough insulin to cover. Have you given dr Bernstein’s approach a go? There’s no need to skip anything or replace...

Evening all, I hope everyone’s weeks off to a flying start and those who is just ending enjoy the rest if that’s what’s planned. ;) B = 2 egg omelette with cheese and chilli flakes L = Lidl roll (hopefully not one of my last??) peppered salami, pastrami, smoked ham and cheese. 2 of my no added...

Have you tried dr Bernstein’s approach? I swear by it. I’m as skinny as I can healthily be right now. That’s after starting following it to the book last June. I now have his diet book with loads of new recipes and ideas to try out.

A tweet and a post on Lidl’s Facebook page, saying how important they are to diabetics. I can bake but to remake these and at 29p each would be a bit of a chore. If it’s at all possible, anything like the ingredients in these aren’t cheap.

Just got off the phone. Apparently they are changing supplier and they could be out of stock for a few weeks. This happened with the Apple turnovers as well she said and took a few weeks to get them back in stock. I did try and ask who supplies them, I may dig round the net to see if they say...

I’m 35 have now had diabetes longer than I haven’t. Diagnosed at 17. Kicking back and starting to win my battle. Thanks to dr Bernstein’s approach and the lovely people on this forum. About to achieve my best HbA1c around 4.8-5% never had it below 6.5% It’s been an eye opener. LCHP.. don’t...

I always find things like cauliflower and broccoli are best using your own input as many different shop brands have completely different values, I suppose that depends on the variety used. Cauliflower examples per 100g Sainsbury’s fresh comes in around 4g Lidl fresh is around 3g Coop frozen 3g...

I thought it wa an old blog, I’m sure last post was 2016. If @ewelina sees this, your recipes are fab, I first tried your velvet cake as had tried numerous other sponges using the dreaded coconut flour. Haha!! Then I found your recipe using almond. I’ve been playing with the no added sugar...
