Oh that’s wonderful because I sooo love coconut yoghurt and I can’t eat Alpro (too many carbs for me). Thank you I’m gonna get some !!

Its ok, I figured it out because I looked for it. Seems like a liquid sweetener. It was on Amazon anyway. Thank You!!

Thank you I'll try it!!

Hi Does anyone know of a sweetener that doesn’t leave the after taste? I like the keto desserts but the after taste is putting me off. I used Splenda which is horrid. Silver spoon is quite nice but haven’t baked with it yet.....

Thank you. I particularly love alpro plain with coconut. My sugars were 4.9 this morning so I allowed myself a little bit of yogurt after my bacon egg and sausage ( only a little though)

Hmmmm it seems it was the yoghurt. I has only yoghurt with flaxseed and a teaspoon of sweetener this morning..... 11.5. My body has decided I can’t eat yoghurt now

I had the tomatoes first and then the yoghurt separately ha ha. I can’t eat strawberries or blackberries or any fruit whatsoever unfortunately they send me over the edge

Thank you guys I think I’ll ring my surgery .

Thank you, my hba1c was 8.2. I bought myself a meter and I am following the Keto diet. I have found so much help on these forums. This site is amazing!!! (apart from the recipes which are far to high in carbs) I just thought I would have some support from the nurse or doctor....

Hi I am newly diagnosed Type 2. I saw the nurse and she checked my feet and booked me on to a course which starts in January. Ive had my retinopathy test. Should I have more follow up appointments to check my progress/ monitor my medication? I don't have anything further booked. She said that...

It says 3g of carbs per 100g and I had about 100g

Hello I am newly diagnosed and I am following the keto diet because nothing else was working. I take 500mg of metformin twice a day. My blood sugar first thing this morning was 6.3. I had my breakfast and 2 hours after first bite it was 12.1 !!! Heres what I ate half a bowl of canned chopped...

It’s because I was always of the belief that to eat healthily you should eat a balanced diet with lots of fruit and vegetables, low fat and plenty of fibre. The keto diet adds a lot of fat, and no fruit. There are limited vegetables. I thought this would not be very good for me health wise. It’s...

No sorry I don't and I don't know how to calculate how many carbs are in food. It doesn't push my sugar levels up very much at all when I test 2 hours later though.

Try this..... Lime and coriander chicken with avocado mash In a food processor, whizz coriander, lime zest and juice. Place in a food bag and add chicken breasts. Leave in fridge until required. Heat oil in frying pan on medium heat, add chicken breasts cook slowly then add rest of marinade...

Ok thank you! I will continue to keep my blood sugars down. It’s hard and very restrictive. I am already sick of eggs and bacon but there are a lot of people out there worse off than me. I must admit I have more energy. I have meal plans and recipes to follow for next week when I shop for the...

Hello I have been struggling to reduce my blood sugar levels, so I visited the diet doctor website as recommended. I found the keto diet and have been following it for a week or so now. This really works and I am now around sixes and sevens on my monitor now. I am unable to eat fruit of any...

Thats REALLY helpful!!! Everyone thank you so much. I love to cook so I'm going to use the diet doctor web site. I'll take all your advice and ignore Google and the glycemic index. I'm having boiled egg for breakfast and full fat natural yoghurt with a handfull of berries. I'm having a...

Thank you so much everyone for all your advice. I read that porridge was good because it was oats and was a slow release energy. I also read to swap white bread for whole meal and whole grain and to cut the amount down. Use brown rice and pasta (but I don’t eat any rice or pasta). I have been...

Hello, I am newly diagnosed and 4 weeks in on 500mg of Metformin twice a day. I can’t get my sugar levels down. I eat like a monk and have read what others eat and their levels are around 5.0. They eat pasta, chocolate etc !! I make all my meals from scratch and made the Irish stew with...
