    Sd Codefree Error Message

    Thanks @bamba I took your advice and called them, they straightaway said my meter probably won't work again ever, asked how old it was (18 months) and just said that's fine we will send you a new one! Just like that! I've left my order in place so I will then have a spare. Great service from...

    Sd Codefree Error Message

    Has anyone had the code E4 come up on their codefree meter and if so is there a way to get rid of it or is the meter defunct? The troubleshooting guide says it's temperature related but my meter isn't outside the range of 10-45C. More like high 20s here. It just suddenly stopped working this...

    Oppo ice cream

    Is OPPO really that low carb? Maybe I read it wrong but when I looked it up on my fitness pal I'm sure it said 13g per 100g. So I made the (not very difficult!) Decision to buy a tub of lidls salted caramel and praline instead which at 15g per 100g is virtually the same and doesn't have...

    Sourdough Bread

    I do eat it sometimes just because I love it! It doesn't seem to impact my BGs any more than the lowish carb bread I normally eat so in my experience I can't say I notice much of a difference. But we are all different and you probably need to try it yourself to see what effect it has on you...

    Why Eat Carbs As A Type 2 Diabetic?

    That is a very black and white view. Yes it makes sense for no type 2 diabetic to ever eat carbs but I don't think it's fair to class all type 2 diabetics as selfish and irresponsible for eating them. There is a myriad of reasons why people prefer to continue eating some carbs maybe lack of...

    Sugar Free Ice Pops

    You could make your own quite easily IKEA and various other shops sell silicone Calippo style moulds you could just fill them with sugar free squash or whatever you have stick them in the freezer job done! I fill mine with orange juice or milkshakes for my little ones! They love them.

    Low Carb Advice Needed

    I agree but she's in a pit of depression at the moment and obviously feeling terrible because of her sugar levels. I think that's a good idea tho and I will certainly suggest she looks into this. Thanks

    Low Carb Advice Needed

    No she is lactose intolerant she can't eat any dairy at all nor can she eat eggs which makes advising her really difficult.

    Low Carb Advice Needed

    Yeah she definitely needs to go as low carb as she possibly can but I just don't see how she can do it with her allergies and not starve. I am going to get her to start looking into the diet doctor website as suggested above and might be able to persuade her to join this forum too you never know!

    Low Carb Advice Needed

    I think she probably is but to be honest she's in a real mess atm and feeling rubbish because of the sugar levels and I think for her tackling the carbs first will help her most and when she begins to feel better she can then tackle the weight. Thanks

    Low Carb Advice Needed

    Hi thanks but I guess it's just some ideas I need as to how best to advise her. I don't go really low carb myself as I don't need to so I'm not really sure what foods real low carvers eat that my mate could tolerate. Thanks for your reply.

    Low Carb Advice Needed

    Hi I'm asking this for a good friend of mine who is type 2 and very obese. She is struggling with her glucose levels and I had a chat with her the other day and asked her if she had tried low carb. Problem is she has gut problems and can't tolerate any dairy. The only meat she can eat is...

    Finger Licking Not Good

    So today I made jam having raided our strawberry garden. I love making jam especially the bit where you put it on a cold plate and push it with your finger to see if it's set. And having done that I licked my finger (well you have to taste it don't you!). To be fair I didn't think anything of...
