Sorry. Its only $20k Canadian. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

I would like to think not all doctors are in the pockets of big pharma. I do agree that most of these charities are only interested in money and not actually helping people. They say they stopped that program in 2014 but you can still find that health check on a lot of products. And it only...

Thanks guys and I may be related to Dr. Atkins but would be far removed, like really far! All of us Atkins come from England at some point :) I've been doing the LCHF diet for about 4.5 months and things have been going well. I just thought that anyone new might want a thread that explains it...

I need to make a cake for a birthday at work and I think this might do the trick. I'm thinking I may remove the chocolate bits and use a lower carb cherry pie filling to make a black forest cake. One question. Can I substitute 1 for 1 of erythritol for xylitol?

I feel your pain @ickihun. Two make matters worse I absolutely can't stand egg plant (aubergine) or zucchini. I've tried them all kinds of ways and they just don't agree with me. I broke down and had 3 slices of "real" pizza from the local pizza maker this weekend. My blood sugars hated me...

Just about everyone here speaks highly of the LCHF diet. I have also found that severely reducing my carb intake has helped control my diabetes. But one thing I don't always see is what exactly are the high fat foods in this diet. I thought a thread on what higher fat foods people are...

A bit late for your appointment but. I've found instead of telling my dietitian that I'm LCHF I just say low carb and tell her what I'm replacing the carbs with. Things like a little more meat but try not to do to much protein and have more veggies. She seems to accept this as she likes I'm...

I've also made an appointment to get my eyes rechecked. I was prescribed glasses in late December. Then in January I found out I was diabetic. But now that my blood sugars are back down to almost normal (5.5 in late May) I've found my new glasses are horrible and everything is blurry again...

There is a bread maker here in Canada that makes a lower carb bread. It's Silver Hills Sprouted Bakery. Not sure where its all available but I found it at Superstore in Lloydminster and at my local Coop. It ranges from 10 to 14g per slice. Its not cheap at about $5.00 per loaf. Personally I...

Its really not to hard to keep the carbs low. Just takes practise. Today i had bacon and eggs and one slice of 12 grain bread. About 25 carbs. Lunch was a salad with half and avacado and french dressing. Also one ham pepperoni. About 6 carbs. Supper will be a hamburger steak with tomato paste...

Thanks for the link. I've been looking for a sweetener that doesn't change taste when baked. Also not splenda or artificial. I may have found it. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

Thanks for all the options. My google must be broken as my low carb cherry pie filling didn't result in that many options and none available locally. Then then again that's small town for you. Thanks for the links and the suggestions. Sounds exactly like what I'm looking for.

So I made some ice cream with it. 2 cups heavy cream (35%), 1 cup milk (2%), 1/2 cup of the monk fruit blend and 2 tsp vanilla. Mix it all together and toss it in the ice cream maker. Fight with it for 20 to 25 minutes and boom, home made ice cream. The results: It tasted really sweet and...

Same thing happened when I had an infection. BG was all over the place. That being said. I had a garden salad with grilled chicken (no dressing) the other day and my sugars went through the roof. Turns out the restaurant put some sort of glaze on the chicken which is mostly sugar. Could that...

I just watched this documentary on Netflix called "Sugar Coated." They talk about how sugar intake has jumped in the past 30 years and the problems that it have been seen because of it. Type 2 being one of the biggest. The one thing I took away from this was that the low fat craze that took...

I see your being bombarded with information. It's tough to take it all in at once. I was in your position just 4.5 months ago. When you have time read the posts in the Type 2 and Newly Diagnosed sections. You don't need to read them all but there is a ton of good info in there. People will...

I don't really have any foot issues. Well except for when I tuck it under a leg when sitting. That can put it to sleep. Just wanted to note that i did have signs of diabetes when I look back at the last few years. Also have to admit that i hadnt seen a doctor for at least 15 years. It was an...

107.8kg today. Down from 118kg when i started. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

Doesn't help anyone in the UK but my Dad found one in the US. It Michalob Ultra. About 2.6g carbs per 8oz. I'm hoping to find it somewhere in Canada. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

Not sure about you but I think I've been diabetic for about 5 years but inly diagnosed a few months ago. I say this because about 5 years ago i started gaining weight. Also found that certain foods started giving me cramps but not sure if thats a symptom. And other type 2 symptoms that I just...
