It is addictive, I made it again last night, a huuuuuge pot full. Leftovers in the freezer for lazy lunches.

I made crack slaw last night after reading your thread - leek, red cabbage, diced eggplant, minced beef, blob of tomato paste, salt and pepper. Deeeelicious with a dollop of sour cream on top. Enough for lunch for the next couple of days as well.

This does sound interesting and something I will try. Eating first thing in the morning is just something I have never been able to do. Trying to follow my Doctors advice re a healthy diet, so eating breakfast, was just such an uphill battle. I am up at 4am, out the door at 5am and starting...

Well I tried the diet the Doctor told me to eat for almost 3 months, the usual things,lots of smaller meals, bread, porridge, fruit etc. etc. and I was feeling sluggish, bloated, had bad stomach upsets. So after reading here the last 2 weeks I cut way back and tried the LCHF diet. Just to...

Thanks @daisy1 and @chalup, I have read the welcome info as I joined last week. I don't have a meter as it was deemed unnecessary, you know how it is currently. But at my visit next Wednesday I intend to ask for one, and if they won't arrange it, I will buy one myself. I have joined the...

When I wake up in the morning, I am super thirsty, although not as bad as before I was diagnosed. I am only a newbie, having been diagnosed early August. I am on Metformin morning and night, and have been following my Dr.s recommended diet, which I recently discovered here is rubbish. Next...

I was diagnosed with Type 2 early August, and my Endocrinologist decided I didn't need a monitor, and put me on Metformin. However, I am so muddled with what I eat and how I feel, the only way that I can think of to see how I react to food is to test after meals. Sooo, what blood glucose...
