I've just started running again, and am a recently diagnosed type 2. When I ran previously to my diagnosis, if I was running any long distance, say 5 miles ( thats long for me lol ) I would use SiS Gel, now I'm diagnosed Diabetic are there alternatives out there that anyone uses and how good...

Hi, new to this thread, I started the couch to 5 k last year and completed it, but by November by the time I was coming home from uni it was dark and it all fizzled out. However I was diagnosed type 2, 2 weeks ago now and I am just about to start again ( today ) ... I don't know if I should...

B - Carob 9 bar L Lidl high protein Roll with lettuce, cheese, and apple. A handful of fresh cherries, a small handful of mixed nuts, a CoYo (coconut milk yogurt alternative) ...and yes I was hungry today lol D ( will be ) - Sausages, cauli mash, peas and gravy. S - apple and a square of 70%...

I'm going to be doing this tonight with sausages and peas and gravy! Thank you, that leaving it on the stove step sounds like a good idea ( as long as I don't forget it, I'm such an air head sometimes ) x

Was it good? Ive gone back to my 70% very happy with that but always open to ideas! x

I do buy fresh fruit/veg but honestly in the past a lot of it ends up getting thrown away so figure frozen is less wasteful. However now I am eating much more of it than previously fresh might not be such a bad idea. I do also have a really bad thing about sell by dates, I had to throw away two...

lol.. theres a few good suggestions flying about on this thread about what to use them up in, I don't mind the 70% so much, just a wee nibble followed by a few gulps of coffee haha. The chocologic milk/dark/white is sugar free and people seem to really like it. I bought a wee pack of mixed ones...

Thats awesome thanks! x

Another quick ask please. I have noticed a few of you mentioning cauli mash? I am probably over thinking this but is it just mashed down cauli or is there more to it? Bought one today to go with sausages tomorrow for dinner and cant help thinking if i boil it and mash it down its going to be...

Liking both those ideas, thanks!! x

Yep not long finished some, I whisk them together with squirty cream and makes it lovely and fluffy like a raspberry mousse ...then I add a wee bit more cream on the top and a raspberry to make it look pretty haha. Have to say though they take a lot longer to defrost than I thought and tonight...

I bought a wee box of the individually wrapped ones today at Tesco :D ...I did see the dark and milk bars too but I figured start with the box and see which I like out of there. The milk one was on offer for 60p for a large bar btw! x

Thats not such a bad idea! Wish I had read this before I did the raspberries and cream after dinner. That said, my other half seems to not mind the taste as much as I do so I don't think Im going to have too much of an issue using it up lol x

Yes your thoughts on sugar with my daughter are identical to mine, I'm trying hard now so she only has small amounts occasionally. I did my 3.30 test and pleased to say it came in at 7.9 ... happy!! Now just to stick to it, I know people would say thats still a bit too high, the DN said between...

OMG...forgot to mention, I have been having a single square of Lindt 70% dark chocolate when I watch TV in the evening...well yesterday when I was shopping i found the Lindt 90% and was so chuffed Id got it. Tried to nibble on it last night, the significant word there was 'tried' oh dear, I...

Thanks guys, Im going to test again at 3.30 which will be 2 hours after I ate. I am following the LCHF diet, have only been on it a week though, could have kicked myself a moment ago, my daughter (she's 7 and non-verbal autistic) occasionally has these god awful sweets called Nerds, I try and...

B - Carob 9 bar, L - Lidl high protein roll ( first one, omg good! ) 2 rashers of bacon and an egg, D - I am going to do a Bolognese with courgette spaghetti then raspberries and cream ( Im sorry I forget who mentioned that on here before but thank you and you have started me on a proper...

Well was given my BG monitor today by the DN here and have just used it for the first time. I didn't have time to set it up before lunch but took a reading immediately after ( I know this is wrong ) ...anyway the reading came in at 9.3, would that be explained by the fact I had just eaten...

Aye, I did ask my DN about it today and she said that often times when you are used to your bg being high if it falls even a little it can produce symptoms that feel similar to a hypo. Not saying at all that this is what the OP is experiencing but asking the Doctor would be the sensible route to...

B - Carob 9 bar L - McDonalds cheeseburger minus the bun ( The wee one wanted to go..ugh ) D - A sirloin with courgettes, peppers, tomatoes, red onion and mushrooms. Snacks a few cherries and 2 plums. ( going to have some cream and raspberries for supper! ) Edited to say after reading this forum...
