    Can we talk about soup?

    I have a friend at work who has a soup maker and I think about it from time to time your post re using up the fridge stuff makes me think it might be a justifiable expense.

    Can we talk about soup?

    Yup. I should have said, I just boil up a big pot and its fine. I actually did that late last night and left it in the fridge so today I only had to put it together. Like I said, I;m a basic cook.

    Can we talk about soup?

    Actually, @Antje77 I've just thought about this properly. I would just add the carbs in all the raw ingredients then divide by portions and that would be roughly how many carbs. Yes?

    Can we talk about soup?

    Thank you @Antje77 . That is exactly what I need, but (and this might be a silly question, remember I'm new) how do I work out how many carbs to count ? The pretend potato salad is yummy and my almost grown up kids will eat it and even ask for it. I found it here...

    Can we talk about soup?

    I work between different establishments and sometimes end up eating lunch in the car. The last couple of winters I have enjoyed a flask of hot soup at lunchtime. My norm would be broccoli and stilton or caulflour and wensleydale. I would heat it in the microwave at home early and look forward to...

    Newbie with alarmingly high test results

    Hi @HeyJude! I'm not going to give you diabetic advice. I've only known I was diabetic for 5 or 6 weeks and you'll get great responses from people who know lots more than me. I want to give you a big virtual hug I well remember that absolutely overwhelming feeling when you first find out. My...

    Sleeping (Or not!)

    Hi @Zinadane. As a type2 I can't comment on the diabetes stuff but all the tips and info in the book "Sleep Smarter" by Shawn Stevenson did help me get a better nights sleep when I was about to ask for GPs help.

    CGM advice please

    This thread left me feeling a wee bit uncomfortable and guilty that a colleague had offered me spare sensors. Her young son is T1 , he was moved from libre2 to dexcom by his team.

    Hi@Antje77 That would have been typical for me but it absolutely says it is not compatible

    CGM advice please

    I didn't ask too many questions and remember I dont really know what I am talking about but apparently her son has recently been given a pump and changed from libre 2 to dexcom and there are leftovers. I dont know if the bundle is 2 or 22.

    CGM advice please

    Last night late on my finger prick read in the 4s for the first time and early bells this morning it was over 7 so I think now I'm four weeks in its time to have a nosy at what goes on during the night with a CGM. I looked at the free trial for the libra 2 but the app does not appear on my...
