    Freestyle Libre

    It doesn’t support Apple Watch yet only the phone app is on the store, I also checked in the settings and it doesn’t seem to connect to Apple health either at the moment which is pretty disappointing, but with the inaccuracies that sometimes happen with the libre sensors you’d rather only have...

    Lidl high protein roll

    You can’t beat it can ya. I’ve always treated myself once a week to one. Those Lidl high meat sausages are a time saver when you have 4 left in the fridge. ;)

    Painful finger prick testing in press images

    I’d be pricking my own fingers, using my own lancet not those horrible disposable ones they use that puncture your bone there that deep.

    Lidl high protein roll

    I randomly weigh them, when I buy them I always try and aim for the same sized ones as much as possible. They are mostly just under 100g sometimes a little over. They taste great when you haven’t had bread for almost 7 months. Haha!! I have one almost daily now for my lunch, no spikes...

    Reversed Diabetic retinopathy by Low carb diet/low blood sugare!

    Absolutely fantastic that is, I have only been following dr Bernstein’s approach for almost 8 months and have background retinopathy that needs no treatment as of yet. That’s been showing now the last 3 eye tests so for around 4 years. I’ve been diabetic 18 years now. My next eye test is due...

    Hypo treatment - restoring 0/ lo sugar drinks to full sugar

    I’ll second that, too much faff, dextros all the way for me. A double pack is £1 from most supermarkets, that’s like 20+ hypo treatments for some people. I’d get about 30 for a £1. Not just the price it’s the precision you can count on and so small and convenient. Not too mention the fact it’s...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    I only usually have 15-30ml cream with mine. I’d be needing to cover the fpu of the extra cream with insulin if I added that much to it. Mine sounds not so luxurious now though. Haha!!

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    No I’ve not tried this, I will give it a whirl as I wanted to try angel delight as a pudding but on checking the no added sugar one it’s still has too many carbs for me. How much cream do you add? I’m using a sachet of hartleys at a time so add 250ml boiling and 250ml cold giving me half a...

    Using MyFitnessPal for carb logging...

    I don’t use mfp at all now, got my meals that I need to choose from so I know them inside out. I did find I was referring to labels a lot and using supermarket websites for info also with the dodgy inputs from users. A lot of my food is cooked from scratch so notch up all the ingredients and get...

    Using MyFitnessPal for carb logging...

    I’ll second that, I’ve noticed some really jubious carb amounts that are really off compared to the packing. Common sense and a little background knowledge of general carb amounts of certain foods goes along way in this incidence. On the milk front, ditch it for 15ml of double cream. No effect...
