Hi all, My current diagnosis is literally 'not known whether Type 2 or Type 1'. My consultant says my insulin is Type 2 but my metabolism is Type 1 and that he expects that I will run to Type 1 in time - that I'm essentially LADA and currently in the honeymoon period. I've been...

Hi, I was sent to hospital by my GP when she tested my keytones (as part of demonstrating how to use a glucose meter) and they were at 3. My sugars were 8.1 at the time and I had started feeling unwell a few hours earlier. I was not fully low carb as I had just recently discovered that I was...

Hi KatMac1, I just wanted to send you a hug too. My situation is sort of similar ....I was told I was type 1 (LADA) initially - although the tests for this were not conclusive. I was taking insulin but am now diet controlled only. I recently got an official diagnostic letter which says, "we...

Made a very yummy fish dish for dinner: small onion, sauteed in butter, double cream poured over the onion, mixed fish pieces (salmon, cod, smoked haddock) added. Simmered for x2 mins. All mix poured over 2 hard boiled eggs (quartered) and lots of wilted spinach in oven dish. Topped with...

Thank you:) It was lovely: I think phoning ahead seems to be a good thing to do - staff welcoming and nothing a bother. Made numerous nice swops and food was good. This was Bills Restaurant in Leeds...looks like its a chain too xx

...Think steaks should be fine, just watch any sauces. I'm not such a lover of it, so never order it out - will eat a little if hubby cooks it though!

Oh! Penguin Mum that sounds delicious...thank you for that! I've also just discovered a list of low carb meals in restaurants in Leeds by googling, 'Keto friendly restaurants in Leeds' and can get a list for Manchester too. Have booked into one of the Leeds ones for Thursday eve and will phone...

Oh, I never thought of that! It's definitely not my pub...! Possibly reach more people if I just review in trip adviser then there's no worry. Cheers, Em

Hi everyone and HNY I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this/whether it could be useful or not/how to go about it...but here goes: I do still love to eat out. I've had varying responses from places to eat about LCHF meals/swopping foods in and out etc. (mostly good, luckily) and...

Hi Sharon, Your post sounds just like me this week. I've not eaten more carbs but I'm not moving about let alone doing usual activities due to feeling ill... and that makes a massive difference to my sugars. Its my first time ill since I was diagnosed and I feel weepy, rubbish and...

Thank you :) and to you too!!

Congratulations Ceppo :) I'm posting my happy results too....last HbA1c at 38 - consultant said it was better than his and to continue what I'm doing. I had been prescribed insulin for if I wanted to eat carbier meals as diagnosed as LADA...but my best results across the board were with the...

Hi Coby, I eat it like cake, sometimes with double cream - yum. I keep it in the fridge and it lasts for 4 -5 days. I often take some out if I'm on long walks/cycles as it's a great snack. I've also frozen it in slices and it's great: defrosts quickly and is ready to eat. Hope you enjoy...

Hi Lakeslover, its 22cm x 12 cm. My mixture never quite fits it (there's never enough) but it doesn't matter a bit as it is so dense it just stays where I put it! I eat it in little slices (think shortcake fingers but a little smaller). It doesn't sound much but it completely hits the spot...

re: bananas Just in case anyone does miss them terribly, I have a recipe that doesn't spike my sugars and seems to work with my low carb/high fat diet. It is: 1 banana eg. 100g combined in blender with at least 150g finely chopped brazil, almond, pecan nuts (go more on the nuts if...

Think I would have something from: pigs in blankets, olives (no bread), goats cheese (maybe ask for some salad with it instead of bread), chorizo/prawns from the mezze board, baked camenbert, burger without the bun, steak, chicken au poivre ( think this should be ok, maybe ask that it's just...

Hi TZ, I've signed and will pass it on. From those above who know the industry better than me, it looks like it might be impossible to pass this. I also agree that the personal responsibility here shouldn't be/can't be removed. However - to get it in front of parliament/to get carbs on...

Oh brilliant!! Thank you so very much :) it is great to hear that from a local - and I'm delighted to hear there's a deli with roasted whole chicken, which I love. Yes, we are flying into Calgary ...I have my fingers crossed that it will go ahead in these covid days as it's a trip of a...

Thank you so much for this. The wealth of information that people on this website have is amazing - I have no idea where I would be if I had got diabetes before access to this site. It's much appreciated - thank you.

:)It looks beautiful! How did you find eating out/restaurants? I've only ever once had a problem eating out locally when asking for food to be swopped about a bit (asked for cucumber or celery instead of bread with cheese and it couldn't be done (!) and it did knock my confidence a bit). Em
