Flax is bloody good stuff. Flax Seeds, Milled Flax, Flax Oil - all great stuff. Ever heard of "Minute Muffins"? I make 'em in a wide'ish plastic bowl (5" dia.), and use 'em as low carb burger buns. It's a GREAT way to get Flax into your body! There are TONS of recipes online for 'em, but my...

Weaning is a bad idea. You should go cold turkey. Substitute carbs for, um, cold turkey... ;)

I've only been eating food with (almost) zero carbs in them. Pepperami. Tuna. Cheese. Steak. Eggs. Turkey. Y'now - practically zero carbs. ;)

Cautious is the word! Tonight's 5units seems to have had a positive effect, so I'll stay at 5 for a few days and see what happens... It's my fasting BG that I'm REALLY interested in. By BG just now (before bed) was 8.4, so if I wake up with it somewhere around there I'll bd dead happy! DD -...

Agreed. But I don't need to be told that. ;)

I've started on Lantus. This is in combination with the Victoza that I've been on for 3 months, which, at 1.2mg once daily, was doing nothing. Last night, I took my first Lantus, at the same time (18:00) as my usual 1.2mg of Victoza. I was told to start on 10units of Lantus, but, in my haste...

This is not a surprise. Excess Sugar in the blood is bad, and this blood eventually gets to the brain. Excess Sugar in the blood damages everything it comes in contact with - so why would the brain not be damaged by it too???

Goonies. /thread

My technique has been to have at hand plenty of EASILY ACCESSIBLE lo-carb snacky stuff. My favourites are: Sliced Ham Sliced Turkey Pepperami Boiled Eggs Cheese (load so different types - mozerella, brie, cheddar...) It was/still is the first week that is the hardest for me. I have to have...

Yep - SUPER expensive. :-(

Hi alisohne. I'm also interested in this - but it's a minefield out there! I have no idea how to get CBD oil that is high enough in CBD to produce any positive results, or whether it is best to ingest, or vaporise and inhale the stuff. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread, though.

Ketosis ≠ Ketoacidosis

Good man. I hope he dumps that *****.

Plain ol' water is awesome. Drink as much of it as you can face - I aim for 2 - 3L a day. Over a period of days (or maybe a couple of weeks) the thirst will go away completely, and you will actually have to force water down! But do keep it up. Water is awesome.

I think it was about 9 mmol/l/162 mg/dl...

Guys - seeing as my C-Peptide is currently at 18, would you expect a Diabetic Specialist to suggest/prescribe a Basal & Bolus Insulin Regime???

I've recenbtly had a C-Peptide test. The result was 18!!! That's high - but I still don't know what that means...

For those of yout that don't know who he is - he is widely recognised as the Godfather of the House Music movement. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankie_Knuckles Now - this is exactly the kind of story that I'd like Diabetes.co.uk to write about. He is a public figure that has sadly passed...

I finally got round to making this last night... Absolute TRIUMPH! Bloody lovely, and only 6g carbs/100g of Almond flour/ground almonds. Comes together like a short crust pasty (think REAL Clarkes pie style!) 150G Almond Flour 4 Tb Sp melted Butter Little bit of egg Combine AF and Butter...

Potatoes and pasta are terrible for trying to control BG anyay - you're better off without 'em. As for alternatives, just have more of whatever you're usually eating with the pasta or potatoes. Having Spag Bol? Just have a couple extra spoon fulls of bolognese. Having Jack Potatoe with Tuna...
