wow - recipe please??

I think i'm going wrong with veg as I mix it up with either, carrots, sweetcorn, spring onion, red onion, peppers, peas, green beans, mangetout. I know the carrots and sweetcorn are high. What else can I try?

I'll have to try to cut back on some fruits as I must be getting a lot of carbs from them that are filling up my day. Such a shame sweetcorn is so high as well because I love it.

Sounds good, I'll give it a go over the weekend.

Mm I like your thinking :D I'm going to try the salad tomorrow with my chicken for lunch, there's only so much Tuna salad one can eat

I'd say it's worth a go if you feel it's come to the point where your control needs tightening up. Do you carb count? I would obviously recommend getting on a course for that as they won't let you have a pump if you can't carb count first. I was on injections for 12 years until I went on a...

Yes I have read quite a lot of posts from you, you've taught me a lot. Do you boil the cauliflower first or just grate it and eat raw? I like goats cheese, never tried it in a salad though, might give it a try.

Haha it was you that suggested it lol It's ok I tried something different this morning, I only used 50g of the yoghurt mixed in with my strawberries cut up small and a very small amount of sweetner and it was HEAVEN! So I take it back, I love my new low carb yoghurt hahaha :lol:

I everyone, I’m a type 1 been using an insulin pump for the last 4 years with semi decent control, however as a few of you will know, I’ve been trying a low(er) carb diet than what I’m used to. I used to consume about 250-300g per day whereas now I seem to be around 74-124 per day (depends if...

what basal rates are you running at the moment? I would be inclined to reduce your basal 30-40% to see if that helps for a while. Another option is to check your insulin to carb ratio's are correct. Are you on a 1 unit per 10g carb? Sometimes my hypos are caused by this change and I often alter...

Yes very sad news indeed. What an inspirational woman as well.

Ooh I might try this, the other half uses normal gluten free flour to make ours, they're absolutely gorgeous, I'll get him to try it with this recipie though, Thanks, Ever tried a gluten free battenberg! It's amazing, tricky to make at first but essentially just like doing a victoria sponge

Re: Celiac Disease Hi, I've had coeliac disease for 10 years. These days the selection is amazing compared to when I was diagnosed. Go and visit the free from section in Tesco and Sainsbury's - they have an amazing selection. I prefer Tesco for a lot of gluten free foods. Asda are pretty good...

Let us know your thoughts, hope you like it :D

Yes basal testing is very important. I'd been on a pump for 4 years too before I'd even heard about it. My dsn never even mentioned it. The only way I found out about it was through the book 'Think Like A Pancreas' since I've done all the tests though I'm pretty stable, needs tweeking a bit more...

Same I'm a type 1 low carbing, managed to reduce my HBA1c from the mid - high 7's right down to 6.7% (at the lowest). I've still a long way to go though as having a few hypos but it's definitely changed my life :D

Well done :) brilliant achievement. Keep up the good work x :clap:

Newly updated blog if anyone is interested: I'm basically blogging how I cope with diabetes so that non diabetics can have a slightly better insight as to how we all live. http://asecretlifeofdiabetes.webs.com

Thanks noblehead, you too x I miss bread so much. I think after the wedding I'm going to start treating myself to a slice or two a week haha

I tend to keep my carb ratio's the same unless I've not been to the gym for a few days and then I need to change them slightly to cover more insulin with food. I'll always usually start with the basal's though if I'm changing anything. I've just increased my basal by 0.25 and have had a constant...
