Oh Bowell - just love it ......

If you have any charity shops near you they are a good source of Atkin's books, also very cheap.

Asda price on Black Farmer sausages is £2.50 for six but you can buy 2 packs for £4.00. Lidl also do a low carb sausage but I find them too salty for me, much prefer the Black Farmer ones. Havn't made scotch eggs for donkey's years, 20 years on low fat, but those look really good so I might...

Total agreement to the above replies BUT most importantly - you didn't 'do it to yourself' This disease can really knock you for six, be gentle with yourself...

Just to say - I was always a sweetie eater rather than a chocoholic. I found that low sugar jelly was the answer for me - took that sweet craving away in the evening.

I find a tablespoon of coconut oil in hot drinks, tea and coffee, through the day keeps me fine...

I was diagnosed type 2 in November 2004 but now that I am aware of the symptoms, I know that it had been going on for at least 10 years previously. So far, so good, am on 2mg SR metformin a day and have cut out all carbs apart from what it is in the leafy greens, salads etc. Last three hba1c...

I get the one from Lidl. It's in a 1kg large blue and white tub and costs £1.57! Scrummy with low sugar jelly or a few berries. Has a carb content of 10% so is fine for low carbing.

Paul, I've had ME/CFS for 15 years and the diabetes diagnosis was a real blow to me 8 years ago so I know where you're coming from. I too have thought that maybe there had been a diagnostic mistake but have found the ME symptoms are different. For the spasms in your legs (arms as well in my...

I have the same problem, for forty years, and used to be given nizoral by the gp. Then I changed, on hairdresser's advice, to the 'Aussie' range as it is gentler. Now I just add about 10 drops of tea tree oil to the bottle of shampoo when I first open it and give it a good shake. This has...

Re: Carbs and Cals book and iPhone app Found it on Amazon for £8.72. It is on the way even as we speak, thankyou for the heads up.

I enjoy my celeriac roasties. I par boil them first then into a very hot tin of dripping with a raw quartered onion. Cook for an hour, basting often, for about an hour. The onion is usally nearly black by now. Scrumptious. Not a roast potato but I find a most acceptable alternative.

10% natural greek yogurt from LIDL. Cheap, creamy and delicious.

They look interesting but how much exactly is a 'pkg Splenda'? I should hate to put in too much.lol

Asda's own sugar free sachets of powder jelly are vegetarian, or at least they always were...

Re: Sharps Disposal - Help Needed My sharps box was written up on the prescription when I got my test strips and lancets for the first time. Only problem is how to dispose of once full as both the chemist and the DN had told me that each other would take it! Having read this post I will now...

Well done BB for those fantastic numbers, inspirational.

Maybe you could adapt this one? Breakfast Muffins by CURVYPIXEL on Mon Aug 24, 2009 7:19 pm These are not quite sweet & not quite savory. I cut in half & sandwich with philly cheese for breakfast - yum Courgette & Nut Muffins a la Atkins Ingredients: 90g/3oz soya flour 110g/4oz ground...

Thankyou for asking that question, I've been wondering myself about the tea/coffee thing.
