Oh well it was worth a shot. Guess everyone is having their own tea

Hi I'm desperately trying to find out the proper UK carbs for the root. I've googled and found conflicting answers. I know it is something you can have on Atkins induction so can't be bad. I'm having it for tea so any help is really appreciated. Dom

I'm on week five on the lchf diet. To begin with my insulin requirements reduced as per expectation. However at the beginning of week four my blood sugars began to spike to 10mmol about four hours after I'd eaten. This was regardless of how little carbs I was eating. I'm still struggling with...

Ok yesterday was devoid of carbs because of another test and see set so today I've had Breakfast Scrambled eggs (2) with cheddar cheese. Two rashers of bacon 2g carbs Lunch Courgette, leeks, peppers and mushrooms fried in butter with 100% beef burger from Sainsburys. 0.9 a burger and...

Given the amount you've taken I suspect a hospital trip to A and E is necessary. I've done this once before. Similar amount. My bloods shot down so quickly that it was dropping faster than the lucozade to counteract it was going in. I needed help and a glucose drip. Do not go to bed as it will...

I appreciate all the help you've all given. I've never previously had to bolus for protein so for the first time in 38 years I'm going to try it. Dom Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sweet potatoes contain more carbs than standard potatoes. On the other hand a sweet potato has a lower GI than the others. That said, it depends on how low carb you are going and what you want to achieve Dom Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi all I've read on here that sometimes people suffer from protein rises. Can anyone let me know what they are and how they deal with them please. I'm type one and despite being low carb my bs is rising to 10 four hours after I've eaten breakfast. Yet if I don't eat it remains within target...

I know I'm a bloke but what your GP says doesn't sound right at all. Go back to your GP and ask for justification or even a second opinion as it may be that your erratic bloods may be due to whats happening in your body. Also I've had many different operations under general anaesthetic and...

When does it beep? I don't have this pump but mine beeps when a temporary basal finishes or when there is occlusion. Granted mine only beeps when I should be aware of what's happening. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is the one I found a while ago http://www.lowcarbdiabetic.co.uk/Recipes.htm It's the 4th recipe down and is better with slightly less salt. Choose your butter wisely as it can leave a film on the roof of your mouth. Dom Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don't know if this is making a difference but since you've been under the weather has your exercise and activity been reduced? I found that my bloods were greatly affected by whether or not I was sloth like or active. I subsequently found that my thyroid was on the blink so to speak. Have you...

I know this probably doesn't help much but I got diabetes when I was seven, we lived in a sweet shop. My parents would give me a bag of "sweets" which was a sweet bag filled with the pieces of two satsumas. I loved this as I didn't look any different (this was key cos I didn't want to be...

I wanted to lose weight and have good control. I asked my specialist what I could do. He went through the benefits of Atkins and 5:2 and LCHF explaining what they can do. He prefers low carb. He took me through how insulin works (thoroughly) and I left well informed and on LCHF. My GP is the...

Luckily I was put on a low carb programme by my health care team however my advice to you is this. I'm type 1 and if you have illness while on this regime you will probably find it a little harder to maintain the low blood sugars regardless of the number of carbs you eat. I'm not entirely...

Just to let you all know, the bread is very tasty and I just melted butter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have had excellent advice from my DSN, GP and diabetes specialist. I'm not sure why your own personal experience has been such a bad one. My diabetes specialist put me on the diet after I sought his advice about losing weight. He took the time to see me without an appointment and sat for an...

My DSN told me that the rise after food should be around 2.8 mmol two hours after eating with Humalog. Of course this is entirely dependent on the type of carbs you've eaten. If fasting the rise should be within 1.5mmol for four hours. I don't know if this helps you but I would also be checking...
