Ohhh the mint one is so delicious. I had it before I found out about the diabeetles and had no idea it was so low in sugar as it tasted great!

The sun was out today so hubby and I got out in the garden. We’re still learning to be green fingered, but after spending the entire day mowing the lawns, trimming the hedges and putting together log stores, I am well and truely shattered now! I think my BG responds well to some exercise as...

Dinner tonight was a GBK burger with blue cheese, pulled pork and a salad of white cabbage, red onion and raw broccoli with a little mayo. I also had some strawberries with a sugar free jelly pot and it was delicious! BG before dinner; 8.9 BG 2hr after dinner; 9.3 Today’s readings have...

Sounds like a great food day. I love the sound of your salads!

Nooooooo.........they’ve sold out of the maple syrup.

Hello everyone. I’ve seen a few of you mention the Adonis bars so was looking into them earlier and found that the company also make brownies, blondies and greenies. All contain 2g ‘impact carbs’ Has anyone tried these? Are they yummy? And did you avoid spikes?

Oh my word....pancakes with bacon a mind maple syrup.....that’s literally my idea of heaven. Do they taste as good as the real thing?

I’ve just made this and tried a teeny tiny slither and my goodness it’s delicious! Tastes like a better version of a bounty bar.

Lunch today was pretty yummy. I had a salad of lettuce leaves, left over fajita chicken, guacamole and cheddar cheese. Before lunch; 8.9 2 Hr after lunch; 8.4 I’m happy enough with my post prandial rise, just wish it was starting from a lower baseline.

Hello everyone....and happy ‘almost the weekend’ [emoji2] I went to bed with a 9.4 and woke up with a 12.4 [emoji22] Dropped down to 10.8 by the time I made my breakfast. I had my first ever bulletproof coffee. It was Delish! 2 hrs after my reading was 11.0. I then made a batch of chai tea...

Evening everyone. I’m really enjoying seeing what everyone has been eating....does that make me noisey?! I had a lovely dinner tonight. Chicken breast and pork belly baked with fajita mix (I made my own blend of spice) served with roast sweet pepper and onion, shredded lettuce, cheese, sour...

Yes it’s hard to believe it’s spring time isn’t it! Your dinner sounds yummy. I love a gin; what is the guidance regarding alcohol?

I have no idea.....maybe just a fluke, but it’s definitely helping to spur me on [emoji2]

Lunch was a salad of tuna in oil, mayo, leaves, a little grated beetroot, gerkin and 4 silverskin onions, followed by 3 slices of Edam cheese. Before lunch 8.4 2hr after lunch 7.9 I’m so happy with this progress! I’ve just had a snack of 6 raspberries and a glass of sugar free squash. I’ll...

I could happily never eat pasta or rice again (I’m a meat and 2 veg kinda girl) but my hubby is joining me on this journey (not diagnosed but a lot of visceral fat so I suspect some degree of insulin resistance) and he adores pasta. He’s sad that he will never eat a proper spag Bol/chilli again...

What a great idea....I’ve a huge shopping list for when I go food shopping this afternoon. Any other recommendations?

Thank you for replying. I think you’re right and I should build up the fat gradually. I had 25g of fat with breakfast (avo and streaky bacon) and felt fine afterwards, so maybe it’s cream and cheese i need to be careful of? I definitely need to drop a couple of stone (3.5 stone is the goal...

Thank you for the tip about tomatoes. I’ll remember that tomorrow. It’s early days for me so still working on changing my mindset as I’ve done low carb diets in the past which allowed you to eat fruit so I would snack on oranges and grapes etc. Right now I’m craving tomatoes and oranges...

I think I’m beginning to see some very very small changes (I’m fully aware that I’ve still got an awfully long way to go though) but my 2hr post prandial reading after dinner last night was 8.4mmol which was lower than my pre dinner reading and the lowest reading I’ve had to date. Today’s...

Yes...I’m sure you’re right. I didn’t get this way over night, so I can’t really expect to fix things over night either. Thank you for the encouragement. It really helps :)
