A bit different to mine, but looks good. :) Mine was: 150g dessicated coconut (unsweetened) 4 tbsp honey 6 tbsp coconut oil 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp vanilla essence 1 bar of 85% + dark chocolate Mix all except the chocolate and pack into a dish that's lined with greaseproof paper. I made mine...

Hi SisterMary. No need to look too far: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/category/low-carb-diet-forum.18/ Good luck :)

Ha! I will find the recipe and post it tonight when I get home. The almond flour biscuit/crackers were a result too as I used to love my cheese and crackers. www.diabeticgoodbaking.com/2013/02/low-carb-crackers.html?m=1 Will try a sweet version over the weekend and if they work out I will be...

Take a look at the LCHF threads. I eat more butter and cream now than I ever did before and they have played a significant part in my weight loss, strangely enough. Got to agree about the baking though. When I first got labelled I went mad and bought a tonne of coconut flour. It sucks up...

This is a link to a list of beers showing their carb content. Not all are listed, but quite a few. http://www.realbeer.com/edu/health/calories.php I also like a vodka with diet coke or gin and diet tonic. Neither hardly affect my sugar levels. A glass of red or 2 with my main meal has...

Happy Thursday everyone :) Just had my second set of HbA1c results in (4 months since first) and my numbers seem to be heading in the right direction. HbA1c has dropped from the 80's down to 52, fasting bg has improved a bit, but I still have work to do on my cholesterol which is in range at...

If it's twins, promise to name one after me :dummy1: Seriously though, I have seen that you have been doing so well since I joined the forum and you seem to be doing all the right things. I can only dream of hitting your numbers, but I won't obsess about them, just like you won't :rolleyes: A...

Thanks everyone for the considered replies. I'll try another batch of strips and if still consistently high, go get a test done at the chemist as a comparison. If no change, I will then go to the DN and push for further testing. I tend to avoid my Dr as he creeps me out every time I am...

Hi all. I try to eat less than 30g carbs a day, add fat to my main meals, don't do puddings much and snack very little, usually sticking to nuts, a boiled egg or a baby-bel if I get the urge. I have a glass of red with my evening meal and eat a piece of cheese or a handful of walnuts as a...

The small print at the bottom of the voucher refers to only a £2 discount. Be interesting to see how much they actually take off.

Sorry Ickihun, I never realised there was a link in my post. I've added a pdf of the voucher for all to use. Hope it works :)

11 at 6.30am :hungover: Nil by mouth since 9.30 pm last night when I had cheese and a few walnuts. Anyone know the carb content of household spiders? I might need to make more of an effort to sleep with my mouth closed as I can't think what else could be keeping my numbers up! :banghead:

Check your mail boxes: Hi Andy, "There’s a chance you may have found some ice crystals in your Mint Chocolate or Salted Caramel Oppo recently. It's all fixed (a third party freezer couldn’t take the summer heat – literally!) but we're sorry if you came across an icy tub (we found 2.5% of tubs...

10.9 on my Codefree after a coffee with alpro coconut milk at 6.30 this morning Ate some veggie omelette at 8.30pm yesterday and 2 cubes of fatty cheese at 10.30 as a night cap in the hope of improving my morning reading. Going to up the stakes and chow down on 500g of butter before bed...

I can confirm that having left the battery out for 24 hours, the meter does not reset. The reason I wanted to do a bit of housekeeping on my readings was because a number of them aren't mine and I have just discovered the software. Once I got the meter, friends & family all wanted me to test...

Nil by mouth since 8.30pm last night. 11.8 just now (7.30am) /cry

That's a good point. I'll leave mine out for a few hours and see how it goes.

It could be something known as Scrotal pruritus, which can be connected to your diabetes. You should talk to your doctor. Good luck Andy

Hi Shoelace, do you still have the thirst or did the dietary changes & new medecine quickly put a stop to it? When I started taking metformin and greatly reduced my carb/sugar intake, I completely lost my thirst to the point that I wasn't drinking anymore than 1 cup of coffee a day!!! I...

I've just discovered the pc software for my sd codefree meter and wonder if anyone knows if it is possible to delete the stored readings? Thanks in advance Andy
