    Alternative to almond flour

    I do quite a lot of baking. I use mainly almond flour but I find soya and chickpea flour good too. Chickpea slightly higer in carbs but you can use mix of soya/chickpea. It should work very well

    Type 2 Substitute Sugar

    Hello and welcome to the forum :) I'm not sure if honey is a good choice. It affects my sugar levels a lot. Try xylitol or erythritol, which are natural sugars and very diabetic friendly. I use them for baking and they are perfect. If you need any recipes have a look at my baking blog...

    Insulin dose for protein/fat?

    Hi David, I have the same problem with polish method. I joined Polish facebook group for T1 and asked them how they use it. Answers varied a lot. Some people set delay according to the method (number of fat/protein portions plus 2h) whereas many other just do what suits them. I don't need such...

    You can do it straight from the pump but you need to remember it will be taken as a correction bolus. If you need to do a correction few hours later it wont be accurate

    Meringue failure!

    ive tried many times and im afraid low carb meringue doesn't exist :( Sugar carmalizes, giving that nice crunch on outside. Unfortunately sweeteners ( including xylitol or erythrtol) dont work the same way. You can make nice, soft sponge but it is not meringue Sent from my GT-I9300 using DCUK...

    Hypo and bleeding cannula

    Thanks. I feel ok just a bit tired after bg rolle coaster and quite intense day. Surprisingly there is only a small bruise on the cannula site. It makes sense what you say. Maybe there was some sort of occlusion and then suddenly it all got unblocked. I wonder if there is any way to avoid...
