This probably explains why I had someone in the shop today asking for apple cyder vinegar because she'd seen it on tv! I do sell a hell of a lot of the stuff anyway. It's recommended for allsorts of complaints (the quality, raw organic stuff that is). As for miso soup. I quite like the taste...

Hi Ledzeptt I can appreciate what a struggle it can be to gain weight as I run a wholefood shop and have a couple of regular customers who are extremely underweight and due to allsorts of intolerances are having a really difficult time at the moment. Personally my calorie intake is almost...

B : Lidl roll with mushroom pate L : Blueberry tofu cheesecake and brazil nuts D : Quorn and stir fried veg in homemade satay sauce I think when I've polished off the cheesecake I'm going to have a go at one of those chia pudds :)

B :Veggie sausage and bacon, fried egg, tinned plum tomatoes and a toasted Lidl roll L : Nothing - went out birdwatching and didn't take any food with me! Snack : Just sampled the blueberry tofu cheesecake I made last night and I'm pleased :) Needed a little more stevia I think, but it's the...

Hi Jen Sorry I can't help with any advice, as I'm Type 2. But just wanted to say hi and welcome to the forum :) The folks here are a real mine of information and so supportive. You've definitely come to the right place! Yvonne xx

Thank you so much all of you. This forum is so fantastic for support and inspiration. For those asking about my readings, this is only the 12th day I've had the meter but so far - I haven't had a day yet when my pre-breakfast reading hasn't been the highest of the day, but that's coming down...

Feeling pretty down and annoyed this morning. Since the appointment when I got the diagnosis with hba1c 96 (which was pretty much just the nurse taking bloods and handing me lots of leaflets about T2) I've had two further appointments. In the meantime I immediately went very low carb, cut out...

Thanks @lovinglife and @Avocado Sevenfold :)

Hi @44nanacarol I was diagnosed T2 a week ago and immediately went low carb and started self-testing. I'm having the exact same problem with my morning levels being very raised. I was really disappointed the first couple of times as I'd been really strict with the diet. I seem to get my...

Busy meal planning for the next few days and scouring the shelves I see Suma's vegan pesto siciliana only has 1.9g of carbs /100g . Looks like that'll be a staple from now on then. So what to do with it? I suppose veggie noodles is the obvious one. Any other vegan ideas would be much...

So it's day 4 and I feel shocking! I know I'm doing the right thing low carbing, as my test kit arrived from Amazon yesterday, and I'm already WAY down on my reading two weeks ago that brought about the T2 diagnosis. And I'm determined to do this by diet and avoid medication completely if I...

Amazing results you're getting Kevin! Really inspirational for me just starting out on the lifestyle changes. Thank you x

Hi all :) So this is diagnosis day for me. Feeling a bit overwhelmed and wary of food in general, but I'm sure my appetite will be back with a vengeance soon enough! B: Nothing - wasn't sure if I was supposed to be fasting before my appointment and bloods! L: Organic oatcakes with Granovita...

Thank you so much to everyone who has taken the time to post. It is really appreciated :) The successes so many on here have had have left me feeling a lot more positive. I'm still in two minds about Metformin, but I have until Thursday to think through that one. My initial thoughts are that...

Hi All Feeling incredibly stressed after my surgery visit today :( I was called in at the beginning of last week for one of the NHS health checks. Lots of bloods taken, and told to expect a letter in a couple of weeks if all was well. Instead I had a letter a couple of days later asking me...
