I have a full set of dentures but I can only use the top dentures for eating, and I manage quite well except for certain foods i.e. nuts which seem to be very popular as a healthy snack! So any suggestions about a nut that people with dentures can eat without it taking a few hours to eat would...

I went to see my DN this morning 57 days after my last visit and she was very pleased with the results of my blood tests it was 57 days ago I started a LCHF diet she told me the results of the last test indicated I may have had to go on insulin but she didn't tell me that then with my latest...

SUNDAY 7/6/15 Today’s fasting reading at 9am was the best yet 6.4 so this LCHF diet is certainly having the desired affect and the bonus is I am losing weight as well at about 1lb a week so 8lbs gone so far which delights me.

I read they make a low carb snack to keep in the fridge, so my ? Is do you leave them in the shells after they are cooked or remove the shells! If you remove the shells is there a way of stopping them turning black. Thanks

Thanks for the encouragement but at the moment I am waiting to be weighed on the same scale which is very accurate that told me I was 16 stone and I am hoping for a nice surprise for me and the nurse.:)

Although I am still waiting to be weighed by the nurse on the 10th of June. I was 16 stone = 224 lbs my waist was 46 it's now 44 and my blood sugar is averaging about 8 prior to going on a LCHF diet it was in the high teens , so definite progress.

8.8 This morning but I did have a late night snack 2 crisp bread with cheese 11.45 pm. Yesterday I had my best reading ever 7.7 which although it seems quite high compared to most I feel pleased because before I started a low carb diet my reading was in the high teens.

Yes, it is but at least I know now. Thanks
