    A coconut pancake?

    Here is one that I've tried a couple of times. It's good. If you look just below the recipe you will see two buttons. One is for US measurements and one says Metric. That's the one I use because things seem to work out better when I weigh the ingredients...

    Lost,scared,angry type 2.

    No, but I know I have been eating way too much Keto Psyllium Husk bread and Keto bagels instead of healthy veggies. I also had to up my healthy fats because I need to maintain my weight or gain a bit. I have always eaten too much bread when I've been stressed and I guess I'm now transferring...

    Stress - can’t get sugars down

    I feel your pain. My blood sugars have been spiking this past three months and today was probably the worst. There have been family issues since mid-December and I've had lots of stress and anxiety. I'm not sure if that's what's causing the spikes or not. I've been on LCHF for nearly two...

    Lost,scared,angry type 2.

    Welcome to the group. I feel your frustration. I was diagnosed in March 2017 and was doing great on the LCHF lifestyle. Neither my doctor nor my Diabetes Educator are supportive of the LCHF plan. This past three months my BG has been all over the place, from 5.7 to 13.4 (Canada) and I am...

    Weight normalisation

    I am in somewhat the same situation. I'm female, almost 71 and was diagnosed T2 in March 2017. I tried Metformin for about two weeks and stopped. I got my A1C down to normal, except for one rise to 7. I started LCHF around May/June 2017 and lost weight very quickly. I was 155 pounds (11...

    Type 2s: What have you eaten today?

    Today I had for breakfast: bullet proof coffee/skinny syrup/Walden's farms coffee creamer (all low carb), 2 slices Keto bread toasted/butter/little dab of low carb marmalade and one egg, between 8:30 and 9:00. For lunch, around 12:30 or so, a small amount of homemade yogurt, a few almonds...

    Is this result really so bad?

    Update on my progress. After much reading this week and many tips for lowering my blood glucose back to normal levels, I decided to try something to give my liver and pancreas a break 'cause I am insulin resistant, meaning my cells are FULL of insulin/sugar. Two meals a day. I ate breakfast...

    Fags and Carbs

    I have been on Keto for just over a year now since being diagnosed T2. I have always loved to bake and went crazy using the Keto recipes. I am now wondering if I have been overdosing on Swerve, Monk Fruit, Erythritol. Actually, I'd rather eat those low-carb foods (treats) than the healthier...

    Is this result really so bad?

    I was watching a video on another diabetes FB site today and the lady mentioned about artificial sweeteners and how they don't recommend sweeteners because they cause the brain to think it's getting sugar and sends out signals etc. and the body sends out extra insulin. (Not sure I have that...

    Is this result really so bad?

    I have been on LCHF since probably June of 2017 after being diagnosed T2. I got my A1C down to normal levels, no meds, blood tests good, chol levels good, lost 55 pounds. Then on my last blood test results my A1C went up from 5.5 to 7. Why? I admit, over the summer I did eat two or three...

    Losing too much weight

    For those folks on here that love bread I found a Keto-friendly Psyllium Husk/Flaxseed bread recipe that I've made four times so far and it's turned out perfectly (follow recipe carefully). Here is the link if anyone would like to try it. It's delicious and makes great toast...

    Losing too much weight

    I am in the same situation over here in Canada. I was 69 when I was diagnosed T2 in March 2017 and I weighed 156 lb, 11.14 stone, 70 kg. I was put on Metformin, but quit it after about 2 weeks. I started the Keto plan in May or June 2017 and my A1C went down to the normal range and my weight...

    Why Did My Blood Sugar Spike To 11.5 This Morning?

    I probably should have checked it the second time. Since it was such a big drop, maybe there was a problem the first time. I hate it when it does that.

    Why Did My Blood Sugar Spike To 11.5 This Morning?

    Nothing out of the ordinary. I was also wondering if getting a summer cold might do it and waking up two or three times through the night.

    Why Did My Blood Sugar Spike To 11.5 This Morning?

    Yes, I washed my hands first. We just got back from our walk and it's now down to 7.0.

    Why Did My Blood Sugar Spike To 11.5 This Morning?

    Since I've been diagnosed with T2 in March 2017 I've been following the Keto plan and have gotten everything pretty stable since then, with no meds. I forgot to take my BG before breakfast today so waited 2 hr and took it after. It was 11.5!! YIKES! For breakfast I ate one fried egg, a tiny...

    Don't make me angry... You won't like me when I get angry (or how to not hulk out)

    Oh my goodness. I haven't been on this forum for awhile now because I've been dealing with a lot of stress and health issues recently and most especially anger that comes out of nowhere. I finally decided to check it out and see if anyone else feels the same and I found your post. I was...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    I made a low carb chicken/veggie casserole and froze it in meal-size portions. I also made turkey burgers, and found out I don't like them. A friend suggested making them into soup so I can eat them and not have to waste the burgers. I won't make those again. I have to come up with something...
