I know exactly what you mean. No one believes I don't like vodka. I must have been told a hundred times that it is tasteless and I can't not like it but I can taste it and I don't like it!

Gosh (not what I actually said) @MrsA2 That is interesting and food for thought. The sooner I get my hands on a meter the better.

It only works!!! Challenge accomplished @Antje77 and thank you so much for the recipe @MrsA2 I added a little extra cream because the coffee taste was strong but it is the perfect 1 carb Baileys and will see me through Christmas and New Year.

This really got me thinking @lovinglife. I've read stress as a reason before but always thought of big picture stress like "I'm so stressed" or "I suffer from stress" and thought that's not me. Actually mt life has lots of little "stressful episodes" particularly at work where I have to...

Perfect this time. Thank you, and excitingly I already have all the ingredients. This will be my weekend task! Cheers.

For me this links to "page not found" and this made me laugh properly

i test when I eat and two hours later and I've had a week of fantastic numbers. I've even had my first couple of 4s. Still sometimes I have a higher than expected (not super high but higher than expected maybe 6.9 or 7.1) at the two hour mark with food that would normally not raise (eggs...

:) LOL you sound like my husband who says "would it not be easier to just drink the whisky?" No pressure there then !!! @Antje77 ;) edited for the wink so you would know I was kidding (sort of)

Yes. I don't really drink much and I know I can count the carbs in a gin and slimline or glass of wine but at Christmas and the holidays I really enjoy cream liqueurs like (but not limited to) Baileys. I am thankful to the people on here who say"just put whatever you want in google with the...

Easy. Thanks @Kernow Debra

Ok. You've hooked me. What did you coat the outsides with please?

@JoKalsbeek You have no idea what a big help and support you personally (and lots of other people) have been to me on this journey. Thank you. By my way of thinking the last nine weeks I was always less than 20g, mostly less than 10g in food and between 40g and 100g in lozengers so the total...

Following a couple of months of believing I was less than 20g carbs then discovering all the extra carbs I consumed in nicotine lozenges I have for the last week been actually, ,properly 5-15 carbs. The weight is coming down again, my bg is mostly in the 5s and I feel great. What about...

Mine has a cafe but I'll be on the 5th floor with a knee replacement. Going to the loo is an olympic event.

Thanks for the thread @Rachox and the tag @Antje77 . I have two big boys (it slays me to admit it but I suppose they are young men) who will bring things back and forward in a cool bag but they will have to be left very clear instructions. There are lots of great ideas here. Thanks folks. If my...

Yes please lets have this thread. I'm going in for three or four days on Noveber 14th for my new knees and I;m struggling to think of easy things my family can bring in cool bags

Hi @takararose Its difficult to believe and I remember asking the same thing but you really really don't. I think for me it was realising its about carbs and not calories. At first I had three big meals a day because I couldn't believe I wouldn't get hungry. Nine weeks in you are lucky if I eat...

Great idea immediately implemented thank you. "if my friends could see me now"

In Scotland its called Control it and is broken into sections eating/exercising/foot care etc. The eating part very much was "eatwell" and I found myself tuning out a bit in the food section. There was a bit of a nod to "lower" carb but more along the lines of "two potatoes instead of three"...
