I'm not a religious man but... Oh My God a omelette muffin sounds incredible.

Hello everyone. I'm looking for a low carb cracker recipe that would go well with guacamole. I was thinking of something with chia and flax seeds and possibly other seeds. I'm thinking of using some almond flour and xanthum gum instead of regular flour. Even ground up cauliflower might work...

To add my two cents in here. I just saw my dietitian on monday ofnlast week. She wanted me to lower my carbs and fats also. She actually told me to use butter instead of margerine. Also cut back on the red meats and try to rat more fatty fish (salmon and such). She is of the opinion that its the...

Agreed that is really good. Just baffels me that its lower after two hours with 33g of carbs. If that was white bread it would of been a lot higher.

Sometimes I just have to rant. I had turkey bagon and eggs with two pieces of 12 grain bread. Started before breakfast at 5.6. Two hours later after a 30 min walk its at 4.0. Thought i had a bad strip so checked on another finger and it was the same. So i might be able to handle whole grains a...

Thanks again. Thats exactly what I'm tring to do. Just needed some explanation as to whats happening. Cutting carbs is hard when your so used to them. Doesn't help when you live in the middle of farming country and every meal is always served with bread and potatoes. My grandmother just...

Thanks for the replies. That's what I wanted to know is about the jump and what should it be. I was told to keep it below 8 at the two hour mark. What is not explained is why. I do know about the bread, rice and what not. Thise two weeks where to tell me and my dietitian what spikes my...

I was diagnosed type 2 on February 3. For the first 3 weeks i didn't really change anything. I tested twice a day usually before and a couple hours after a meal. I really didn't know what would cause high levels except for actual sugar. My teadings before where around 6 or 7. After would be 10...

One other thing I found out is that cocoa pwoder (the kind you bake with) is really low carb. 1.4 carbs with .6 fiber in 3 grams. I add 6 grams to my 70g strawberries and 70g raspberries with 13g flax (lineseed). Blend it all with water and its a great morning smoothie. I've found that 140g of...

I just have to ask. Does the government cover meters and strips in the UK is prescribed? Or can you get private insurance which may cover the costs. Here in Canada if you have private insurance and the doctor prescribes a meter the insurance will cover everything. There are different levels of...

I know I'm a little late with the reply but... I found with metformin it did cause some discomfort in my stomach. My nausea wasnt horrible and I found having something to eat helped. It was the other end that bothered me. But now I've been taking it for a month things have settled down and...

I'm not bashing Subway. I've always enjoyed a sub. But yesterday the office ordered in. I had a 6" cold cut with lettuce and tomato. Before the meal i was at 5.1 after the meal i was 10.3. I though it was wrong so I tested on the other hand. It was 9.8. So i guess Subway is off the list. I...

I was also diagnosed with t2 and fatty liver. My doctor gave me a scritp for a meter and told me to test twice a day. Before a meal and two hours after. Also refered me to a dietician who told me to make small changes over the next month. Biggest one was try to drop the carb level. Now my...

I also just found out I'm diabetic about a month ago and to go with that I also have a fatty liver and my cholesterol while not out of the park is not great. So I'm in the same boat with the lower carb, lower fat diet. I got my meter the same day my doctor diagnosed me. I only test a couple...

Thanks for the links and info. I got the meter the same day I was diagnosed. My insurance pays for everything so why wait. I saw a dietician a few days later and was put on "this diet". This diet is a low fat, low carb diet, I also have a fatty liver. To many years of bad eating and little...

I've been diagnosed with type 2 a little over a month ago. I'm currently on 500mg of metformin a day. On top of this I've also have hypertension and I'm on Coversyl. Between these two problems I'm having a hard time find decent foods to eat beyond only green vegies. Now don't get me wrong I...
