Was diagnosed in January HBA1c level of 88. Have been very low carbing since and it is now now 36. Absolutely delighted, just had to share the news and thank everyone on the forum who has helped with meal ideas and encouragement.

Blood test results came back, HBA1c down to 36 from 88! Delighted!

Lunch - 2 slices of SLC toast with corn beef and thick butter, few slices of polish sausage, a Babybel and a sugar free jelly. A fibre one protein bar Dinner - chicken fajitas with peppers, cheese, sour cream and homemade guacamole with one carb zone wrap. Followed by a DGF strawberries and...

They are excellent. Personally think they taste just like a normal wrap. I normally fry or grill mine for a panini/ quesadilla but my husband has them too and he hasn’t noticed that they are low carb.

Yesterday was OMAD. Had a five mile hike fasted and then the beautiful tomahawk with creamy spinach, mushrooms, mashed cauliflower and homemade Bernaise sauce. Followed by a DGF blondie and a bit of G and B mint chocolate. Today - lunch was a carb zone wrap with tuna, Mayo and cheese and a few...

Had left a lovely big tomahawk out the freezer for dinner which sadly had not defrosted in time. So that’ll be tomorrow. Instead fasted for 24hrs and had a saag paneer and garlic butter chicken tikka take away for dinner. Looking forward to the epic steak tomorrow though!

Lunch - cheese and chorizo toastie using SLC bread, squirt of may and some Matthesons. Dinner - Gammon steaks with cauliflower cheese and buttered cabbage. A DGF strawberries and cream blondie and a square of Green and Blacks mint chocolate.

@maglil55 I’m so sorry to hear about your brother. Thoughts are with you. Another OMAD + day today. Also the first day I’ve felt a bit frustrated, went for a drive and dog walk and stopped in at a farm shop/ garden centre type place where you can park, sit out on the farmers field and have a...

Sunday - OMAD of leftover Nando’s chicken, creamed cabbage and some halloumi. Followed by 2 squares of Green and Blacks mint chocolate. Monday - another OMAD. Aubergine lasagne followed by a DGF strawberries and cream blondie. Today - fasted until 2pm for blood test, had 2 slices of SLC...

Thanks @Daibell I thought so. I’ve been low carbing since I was diagnosed, but was paranoid I’d been eating at the wrong time. I have one can with my dinner each night and I tested the first few times I had one on its own to see if it would spike me, thankfully it didn’t. Starting to think...

Hello! I had my first blood test after diagnosis today, the nurse gave some unusual advice along with the usual “don’t cut carbs” which I wanted to check. She told me not to eat after 6pm? As my body can’t cope with food after that? I have never heard this before and wondered if eating dinner...

Lunch - creamy mushrooms on 2 slice of SLC toast. Got a little peckish in the afternoon and had 2 Babybel and a mini chicken satay skewer. Dinner - Nando’s take away of chicken wings and halloumi. Definitely went overboard on the halloumi. A DGF brookie with tea.

Got my period yesterday so could have ate everything in the kitchen and then some, so considering that, I suppose what I did eat was ok. Brunch - 3 eggs mashed in a cup with butter. A fibre one protein bar Dinner - Roast chicken, mashed cauliflower with butter, a mini corn and creamed...

Similar to @Andydragon my father made the choice to eat what he wanted and rely on insulin. It was a path with led to severe complications and in the end the loss of his life. I know that sounds dramatic but it is true. I would desperately love to eat a sandwich from favourite cafe and after...

Lunch - 2 slice of SLC bread with butter and corn beef Dinner - pulled pork with G Hughes sugar free BBQ sauce, homemade guacamole, spoonful of yoghurt, cheese and jalapeños. Predictably a DGF brownie. I cannot get enough of the strawberries and cream flavour it feels like a custard slice.

Another OMAD + today. A quarter of a Matthesons sausage while cooking dinner. Dinner - aubergine lasagne followed by a few squares of green and blacks mint chocolate with a cuppa. First set of bloods being done on Tuesday since diagnosis, eek!

OMAD + today Cup of tea and an almond butter cookie. Dinner - Beef Fajitas with pepper and a little onion, inside a car zone wrap with sour cream, homemade guacamole and jalapeños. A DGF lemon cake and a cuppa. Spent most of the day cleaning which made the OMAD much easier.

Lunch - Carb Zone Wrap with tuna Mayo, tiny bit of red onion and cheese. Was the closest I’ll come to a panini which was great! Dinner: Another Indian takeaway but keeping it low carb with saag paneer and garlic chicken tikka. Probably some chocolate with a tea later! Back then proper...

Sorry I am just seeing this! Very similar to @MrsA2 I fry mushrooms in some butter, garlic, onion granules and salt and pepper. Then add double cream and reduce to desired thickness. Sometimes I had some mustard!

Lunch - creamy garlic mushrooms on 2 slice of SLC bread with an egg yolk topper. A Fatt Barr chocolate bite with a cup of tea. Dinner - Indian takeaway : saag paneer, garlic chicken tikka and chicken chaat wings. And finally tried the hot cross bun from SLC! Toasted and smothered in...
