Cut the clove down the middle, remove the green heart, use the rest, keeps the breath a little sweeter, if in doubt, chew on a fresh parsley leaf after eating.

Garlic is good for you lol, but miss it if you would like,

Finely chopped broccoli flowers, 1 courgette peeled quartered and chopped, 6-7 lumps of spinach, 1/2 of a pointy pepper fine chopped, 3 cloves of garlic chopped, pinch of black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon turmeric, 1cm fresh ginger peeled and chopped, slowly sweat in 1oz of salted butter for 45 mins...

Had the same problem, been told to eat a hunk of cheese, or a hard boiled egg, or drink coffee with double cream in it first thing to bring it under control, but no carbs.

My thanks to everyone who has sprung to my aid, I have learnt more in the last 48 hours than I had in the last 14 years since diagnoses, I have been far to noisy here, so will try to calm myself down a bit, I have moved from being "Annoyed" to the new world of "Hope" So far I have learnt that...

On the advice of a great forum member, I went to Boots the chemist in order to source magnesium citrate in order to keep the food basket regular. I told him I was on a low carb high fat diet, he asked me how I was doing, I told him my blood sugars were falling, I had stopped taking gliclizide...

lol don't encourage me, or I might start taking a picture of all my low carb meals :-)

Thank you, it will be coffee and cream in the morning, for lunch I cooked spinach, peeled quartered and sliced courgette, 3 cloves of garlic a pinch of black pepper and a heaped spoonful of Creme fraiche with 2 poached eggs and 2 kippers, hopefully the creme fraiche will do the job.

Now I am really confused, woke up to 8.8, still not put anything in my mouth for the day, been off shopping for fresh veg, lacto free milk etc, came home, took bloods now they have shot to 11.2, don't have a clues what's going on? From 6.4 last night to 11.2 whilst fasting, anyone know what's...

8.8 this morning

Good morning everyone, trying to work this out? As I said 2 hours after my evening meal, my bloods were 7.2, at bedtime they were 6.4 went to sleep feeling smug, ate or drunk nothing since, just did a morning check 8.8! How on earth has sleeping pushed me up by 2.4 crazy. So do I eat breakfast...

I have been advised to buy a juicer, and start the day with a glass of the green stuff, been told to juice greens, a cucumber and an apple or pear. Before I go out and buy a juicer, I would love to hear your opinions, I am trying to follow a low carb regime.

It's been 2 hours, just took a reading 7.2 that's pretty good for me.

I would have added Samphire but ran out :-) the joys of living by the sea lol

Thank you, I have a lot of respect not only for what you have said, but the results that you have achieved, I have not kept accurate record, something I must change, but my waist size has reduced from 44 inches to 38 inches, my target is 34 inch, I am 6ft 2ins.

Changed the plan, took two fresh runner beans and diced them, add quartered and sliced courgette, half a chopped red pepper, three squares of spinach, three chopped garlic cloves sweated in 1oz butter, a splash of black pepper and 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric, slow fried smoked haddock and 4 fresh...

Panicking now! If green veg is still full of carb's what is left that I can eat! I don't even want to ask about broad beans, intended to have them with a bit of smoked haddock for tea. So... having watched the Chinese doctor video, I think he was called Dr Fung, he advocates fast for 1-5 days...
