I did yesterday. Didn't spike me and was quite tasty. I haven't tried the chocolate one which has more carbs.

I have a hospital appointment tomorrow morning so that's an extra mile and a half from the train station and the same again on the way back. I might make it to 8 miles tomorrow! I bought new boots...

Thanks! I'm beginning to realise that I'm only at the start of the journey and there's many a twist and turn ahead. I'm not sure what the c peptide test will show but hopefully it will help figure out the best course of treatment.

Thanks. It's a 6 week course on Monday afternoons starting the 18th of January. I'm going to miss two weeks as I'm in London for work and then on holiday. I'll let you know how I get on. My DN has been very supportive and open to suggestions and ideas. My GP seems quite on the ball. She...

I had a bit of a bad week last week - chest cold, then fell down the last three steps of the stairs and bruised my back, my bum and my wrist. So not much exercise for me! I then went to London for the weekend and managed to walk 6 miles on Friday and Saturday. Back on track in work this week...

I went on the Desmond course a week ago. It was nice to meet other people who were newly diagnosed. I was by far the highest hba1c (93) at diagnosis. (I'm such an over-achiever!). The dietician was shocked at how little carbs I eat and that I still have such high BS numbers. Afterwards she...

I'm 11.4 again. Off to the hospital for a c-peptide test tomorrow as well as my hba1c, cholesterol etc.

11.2. I think I may need a review - 3 months on metformin, lost one and a half stone in weight, sticking to under 50g of carbs a day but can't seem to get my bg consistently down below 8. And my blood pressure is still very high. Hba1c and cholesterol being checked on Friday.

Isn't that the plot of The Martian, where Matt Damon has to survive on potatoes for 4 years?

Well done, Chook. I was on my Desmond course today - not very happy as spent most of my time biting my tongue. Anyway I got into an argument which resulted in me eating an apple to prove to myself how my blood sugar spikes. Anyway the dietitian thinks I might be a type 1 because I'm so...

8.2 after a run of 9s and 10s

I'm sat in the clinic waiting room about to start my Desmond course. Hopefully it will be useful (especially since I had to take a days leave)!

B: Coffee and cream L: Pret Italian Chicken bowl (10.8 carbs) http://www.pret.co.uk/en-gb/1122-salads-&-sushi-chef's-italian-chicken-salad.aspx D: Leftover chicken in aubergine pesto, cauliflower and broccoli S: Pret Dark Chocolate with sea salt (12g); Piece of cheddar I had a pretty good idea...

I would see your gp as soon as possible because it's such a sudden change. Good luck!

I've had a busy week with visitors staying and working on a conference so have been fudging my LCHF diet. Back on it today though! B: water, turkey breast slice, piece of cheese L: sardines in olive oil, mackerel pate, crudités, roast veg (buffet at training day) D: chicken breast in...

9.2.

Having no immediate plans to visit Norfolk, then I reckon I'm safe from the epic chips. Phew!

I shouldn't have clicked on that post @Brunneria . I'm only 2 hours into my 16 hour fast and I basically want to knock on my neighbour's door and ask if I can lick a potato. I miss spuds.

Here's some info on almond flour: https://www.atkins.com/how-it-works/library/articles/low-carb-flour-baking-with-coconut-flour-almond-flour I've used some ground almond to make walnut scones from the Xpert book. They come out quite dense and solid (useful as a hockey puck I would imagine) but...

Do you do a full 24 hour fast or the 16:8 one or some other variant, @Chook ?
