Your very welcome @mo53 :)

I will be trying. It’s sausage, bacon and eggs for tea tomorrow so will fry one up. Oh and my lovely little Scandinavian gran cracker.. bit of fibre!! Nice with butter and a tiny bit of sea salt as we don’t have salted butter. I have a sausage and egg cracker. No where near toast but we do what...

I’ve not had a fried egg in absolute years. I used to poach a lot before. Now I just have omelettes or boiled eggs. Less faff, I’d say you could in coconut oil, I believe it’s get to a higher temp quicker. Not sure how it would taste. Olive oil wasn’t very nice. Veg oil was my choice for frying...

You want some dextros in your pocket for this period or some liquid glucose, just be careful with the liquid as you can easily have too much. My personal choice is dextros 2 for £1 most supermarkets.

my conversion chart says 128g for a cup of dried goods like flours. I simply open up the page and go thru each ingredient in the list and quickly change it myself using this chart http://dish.allrecipes.com/cup-to-gram-conversions/ Takes seconds and you just keep the hard copy you make. After...

I’ve got some awesome recipes from diabetic good baking.com it’s someones baking blog. She uses mostly almond flour though. I went thru the coconut phase. Tried the pancakes, first time wasn’t enough liquid worked from the recipe, next time I went all chef on it and experimented till I got a...

That depends on a number of factors surrounding the hypo your experiencing. I follow a very low carb lifestyle so my insulin doses are a lot smaller than they used to be. In fact almost half so the insulin on board works a little different from say somebody eating a 100g carb meal and injecting...

Ive been eating them everyday now for over 8 months. Either an omelette or 2 boiled eggs with a bit of bacon and a cold sausage out the fridge. Sausages check the label and aim for the highest meat ones. 95% or above and the carbs are very low. Others are bulked out with no no foods like wheat...

Get on the omelettes for breakfast if you like them. Very easy and very low carb to start your day. I was asked if I supplemented with vitamins after my last lots of bloods. I don’t its just all the eggs and meat I now eat. Dr Bernstein’s approach is a really life changer especially for...

Stick to my Apple Watch and a treat of a few libre sensors a year till someone comes up with the non intrusive way to monitor blood sugar comes up. Apple have been apparently working on it for years but then just rolled out dexcom on the watch.. not what they said they were doing.. familiar...

Have you got a Frio wallet if that’s how it’s spelt? I used to live in Ibiza 6 months a year when I was a Dj. I also used it when I went on holiday to Majorca years before to keep my insulin nice and cool till I got to the fridge in the apartment. I had a letter from my gp saying I was...

Good morning all, Yesterday’s food was B= 2 egg omelette with ham and cheese. D= piece of bacon and cheese quiche with cucumber, lettuce and small pot of coleslaw (treat in our fav coffee shop) lowest carb meal I can find in there bar a ham and cheese salad. Shake it up a bit. D= low...

I will have a packet of dextros and that’s it. Maybe 2 packs if I have my bag. I used to use other items like you but found out that they either don’t work quick enough so more tends to be eaten or drank. dextros tablets are far easier to dose and predict their effects on blood sugars once you...

Check out dr Bernstein’s approach, as the vegan diet you mentioned is a no brainer really for diabetics. The aim of the game for a diabetic is to find foods that reduce blood sugar spikes after eating otherwise we have to take large amounts of medication. The suggestion of plenty of fruit is...

Hey Zoe, welcome to the forum. You’ll meet plenty of pretty cool and like minded diabetics on here. We’re all in the same boat with the same aim so ask whatever you need, even if you need a moan or rant, get out in here and I’m sure someone will be able to help you out. If I could roll back 18...

Wonders when said company will if it’s the same one I’m thinking off as well. It sounds a bit like a fruit I used to eat before going low carb but can’t anymore (haha!!) theres been rumours for for some years now from said company who were coming out with a painless way to have continuous...

No change again for me still hoovering round 57-58kg I was 62kg before I started low carb lifestyle back the end of June 2017. Always been very skinny but had a little podge around my stomach. Starting to miss it now as injections get a bit tender now.

Happy birthday Paul, here’s to many many more years. ;)

Good afternoon all, just wondering if anyone on here is a diabetes professional. (Dietians, nurses and consultants) I really want to get into diabetes care now and have the opportunity to retrain or study. I have an interview later with my local college to see about getting onto an access...

Evening all B = 3 egg omelette with cheese and 2 rashers of smoked bacon L= tuna salad, with after burn cheese D = low carb chicken masala, broccoli and green beans. (Luxury sugar free jelly later for pud) it’s not quite set yet ;)
