I know how you feel about being hit by a train. It seems ever since Jan this year it's been one thing after another for me also. First an abscess that was treated. Dr. then put me on blood pressure pills as I was always really high. Then told I was Type 2 and put on metformin. Three months...

Thanks for the advice. But i think I would change the lancet at least once a day :) either way I'm curious about strange readings. Did you ever get a false reading or one that seemed out of wack? My pharmacist says some strips are better then others. She's not against it but suggests I find out...

Just wondering if any one has used or knows anything about the Dario meters? The Canadian site is at http://mydario.ca/. I'm really tempted to try one. One it's got the geek factor going for it and I'm an uber geek. Second keeping everything in one small package looks really handy. Not sure...

Just saw the doctor with the results and I'm happy to report that my a1c is at 5.5! That's after 3 months of diagnosis. Must say LCHF is working for me. There is one problem. Both my HDL and LDL and total have all gone up a bit. My Total is a 5.4, LDL is 3.? can't remember and my HDL is...

So we needed a quick supper tonight. Made the mistake of going to subway. Had 3/4 of a footlong and wow am i regretting that. Before 5.3 after 8.8 and my gut is killing me. Man I hate carbs now. Also know why i felt so bad after eating this stuff for the last few years. Sent from my SM-N910W8...

Can you post a link to the macaroons and peanut butter cookies or PM me the links please? Those look really good.

That also hit our national news over here in Canada. Although they then piled on a few "experts" and basically told us it was full of manure and to stick to the Canada food guide. If your diabetic this food guide is horrible. But all the dieticians keep pushing up to 250g of carbs a day with...

Agreed with @Bluetit1802. You will only know by testing before and 2 hours after. When it's a new food I'm adding I do a test before, at 1 hour then at 2 hours. Just to see if there is a spike in the middle. Also like Bluetit1802 said. Different food effect everyone different. I personally...

Maybe i should have said "I baked a brick" :) Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

I've made the odd loaf before of both white and white with whole wheat before. I've never had a loaf not rise at least a little. You said it would be dense. I knew it should be based on other lower carb breads. When i say it didn't rise i mean not even a single millimeter. I used water that...

As I've said many times I'm not a baker so this could be all my fault. Today I tried making bread. Here are my ingredients: 80g whole wheat flour 130g oat flour 175g almond flour 30g flax seed meal 30g golden flax seed meal 85g Super 6 grains (chia, whole flax, whole gloden flax, sunflower...

I seem to be able to snack on strawberries and raspberries. About 1/2 cup of either (but not both). I get the frozen ones as they are cheaper and thaw nicely (I do drink the liquid also after thawing). I've also made nut/seed bars (I've got a thread asking advice on making them). They run...

I found most of the apps out there disappointing at best. Usually the way they measure is not the way you do in the real world. I really hate the ones that measure in cups and spoons. 1/2 cup of strawberries can very a lot in grams. So I made up my own Excel spread sheet (actually it was a...

Just wanted to post that I haven't seen my doc since my blood test which was a weeks ago now. This is leaving me with the thought that nothing has changed in my numbers much. Or he's just really busy. Either way I think I may call the clinic and find out whats going on.

I think one thing my doc said to me is why they push pills and such. When I told him that I had to cut out anything more then 20g of carbs per meal or else my sugars spike into the teens (11, 12, 13 once). He said I shouldn't have to live that way and he can prescribe meds to help with that...

Where do you buy your Stonemill Bakery bread? Doesn't look like Edmonton (or 250km radius) has it.

I haven't seen that bread in my local shops. But that's not surprising as I'm in a small town in the middle of no where. I'll take a look again when I'm in the big city. Thanks for the pic it will really help to find it. As for the Carbquik pancakes. Well they are not bad. Not great but...

So i didnt have the cakes like i planned. I will see what i can do this week and let you know. Btw i found a bread on the organic freezer isle. It is ony 10g carbs per slice. It seems i can have 2 slices and only go up 1mmol. 20g per meal seems to be my limit. This is a Canadian made bread...

Thanks for that. I knew you could rehydrate them but was unsure what to do from there. I am not a baker and have trouble with needing to be so exact with measurements. I prefer meats and veg where i can just do what i want and it usually works. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Diabetes.co.uk Forum...

Steaming my cauli rice is probably what I'm doing wrong. I will try frying it instead to get rid of the water instead of adding. I did find that frozen cauliflower made good cauli mash. Needed cheese but i like cheese. Sent from my SM-N910W8 using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app
