This morning 3 streaky bacon rashers and 2 fried eggs. I'm experimenting for dinner with strips of chicken breasts, coated with ground flaxseed and KFC type spices, and cooked in the oven - I might dribble a bit of bacon fat over the top in the hope it'll make the coating crispy. Half an...

Snap, me too!

I use https://www.fatsecret.co.uk/ to analyse how many carbs in the food I'm eating. It's easy to join and it's free if you use it through a web browser. They charge for their app. I put in everything I eat during the day, which gives me the net carbs which I count (I'm trying to keep under...

Maybe there are some tips in this youtube from Dr. Cywes the #CarbAddictionDoc for you? Think we could all do with some 'Arrogant Integrity' - after all I'm sure your friend wouldn't ply you with a drink if you're a recovering alcoholic, nor perhaps offer you a cigarette if you're trying to stop...

I've had one for over 10 years, it cost me at the time quite a few bob. Think it's about time it's retired, and I was pleasantly surprised to see how much they've come down over the years. I've just ordered a new one, a Salter, not only does it read your BP it also monitors your heart rhythm...

You're doing so well. It's easy for me to say, but have you considered logging everything you eat including their carb/fat/protein content? Analysing the effect of each morsel on your BG level? Have a 'play' around to see which foods are spiking insulin. I appear to be really sensitive to...

Thank you @Rachox, I'll have a go at that.... that's kind of you :)

Now you've done it! :D:hungry: Thank you...

Thank you, I was hovering over this supplier on Amazon, by the way they are £1.14 more expensive on Amazon than Ebay. The company had a couple of bad reviews which put me off, but then again they are for the connoisseur :) I'm glad you recommended, and I do think the fattier ones taste...

Lovely... just phoned local butcher, they buy them in for 90p / 65g bag, by my reckoning that's about £13/£14 a kg. Always like to support local business especially these days. Thank you!

I've read pork scratchings can be ground and used in place of breadcrumbs. I'd like to have a go at making chicken goujons using the 'secret' Colonel Saunder's KFC spices. It'll be a sort of faux KFC. Plus scratchings are yummy on their own. Does anyone know of where I can get a good supply, or...

Think bananas must be pretty potent for potassium. My husband loves them, unfortunately he's being monitored every two weeks with a blood test for the medicine he's on, the doctor was very concerned about 6 weeks ago because his potassium level was very high, something we found could be an issue...

Ian mentioned swopping salt for Lo Salt because it has a lot of potassium...

Great advice there, at first it feels like I'm stabbing in the dark, and with the help of people on this forum, I feel as if I'm getting there! Thank you!

Your pain must be bad otherwise why are you asking for advice on here? If you won't go to A&E, and you won't phone 111, then you must demand an urgent appointment from your GP.

I had zero experience of these meters, it took me about 20 strips before I discovered how to use mine :greedy:, it's not an exact science, I suppose near enough is good enough.

I should have tested again, it was late when I ate the cherries so the time between eating and testing could have been longer as you suggest: 05:48 - 6.8 11:00 - 7.8 15mins after 150ml vita coconut water 11:45 - Breakfast 13:34 - 6 After breakfast 14:37 - 5.9 15:00 - 6.3 18:00 3 sliced Strawbs...

Good point! I just got peeved when I typed 'low fat' and 'low cal' in the search box and got loads of products, but when I typed 'low carb' I got nada. Surely they could have found some products like pork scratchings, or protein shakes. It's like they are ignoring low carb. Politics are...

Doing my Tesco online shop, I realise there are no foods labelled 'low carb', or keto (at least not in the shop near me), plenty of low calorie and low fat foods though. I've written to them suggesting they catch up with the times ;). They were reminded that a diabetes epidemic is in play, and...
