http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/breads/r/lowcarbmuffins.htm I made these blueberry muffins today! Very tasty! I added a little more sweetner than they suggested. Although I calculated 4.9g carb per muffin which is a lot more than it says on the webpage. If anyone else makes them maybe you...

I actually couldn't find pecans in the shop I went to but I had some almond pieces at home I used a handful of those instead. Was still delish!

This deserves a bump. I made these tonight and they were absolutely delish. Felt like I was being naughty but no effect on blood sugars really. Was my first attempt at baking low carb treats but will deffo be experimenting with more to curb by sweet cravings!

I'm not sure I rarely use it but I hear so much bad press about it. I prefer tea without it but I'd still use it in baking and on my porridge. I've heard some brands have less of an effect than others but no idea which ones

I don't have sugar or sweetner in my tea but if I drink it in the afternoon it makes me go high for some reason!

Oooh I had no idea! So even if my starting sugar was around 5 or 6 I still probably would have needed those 2 units?? And there's no easier way to work out how much is needed?

I just did another test and it's now 10.8. So that omlette stayed level on 2 units but I can't see where it would of needed it?! I've done a correction now as I don't like sitting that high for so long!

Good lord!! 5% is very low well done!! Can I ask a question about low carb. I've decided to start having some low carb meals to see how my sugars react. Well for lunch today I decided to have an omlette. My blood sugar was 11.6 before eating (this is unusually high for me before lunch.) my...

Yes I've used that libre thing and lots of testing which tells me it's fine

hey, I'm so fed up of eating bread. I eat pb on toast for breakfast which works really well on my blood sugars but then I'm so unimaginative I eat a sandwich again for lunch. I'm so bored of bread lunch has become a chore. can anyone suggest some nice lunches? Child friendly as I have a 2 year...

I'm sorry I know I'm a little behind here but do people inject for these small amounts of fruits or not? Or do you mean that it just doesn't spike you in the same way as a banana does? As bananas send mine loopy! I find it so hard to eat fruits as never know what's sugary and what's not

I did speak to my consultant and she tried to put me on medication. I told her I was against taking meds but she prescribed them any. I never went to collect them though. My nurse is amazing she started seeing me once a week at first just to keep reassuring me. Now it's down to once a month...

Hi thank you I shall take a look into that link. When I was refered to the counsellor before I was hoping it was cbt but he just went over the same things every session and I didn't get anything from it. He also have the advice that I don't need to carry my blood sugar kit around with me on...

Thanks you've both certainly given me something to think about. I'm guessing to have an a1c of 6.0 you must run your sugars pretty low which also contributes to losing hypo awareness so I hear. One last question, how does the pump help with loss of hypo awareness?

You've just made my day saying you have 150 grams a day. As I tend to eat around that amount too!! I know a lot of people swear by a very low carb diet but I don't think that's for everyone. It's nice to k ow good sugars can be achieved by eating carbs. Since doing my carb course I'm a little...

Wow 50 years and no big problems! It's speaking with people like you that inspire me to be better at it! can I ask what sort of diet you stick to?? And what sort of a1c's you manage? Everywhere you go the complications are pushed in your face, you don't really see the people that are living well...

Thank you I do appreciate your reply! I have pushed my nurse the other day as waiting for my pump assessment seems to be taking a while! I think I saw in another post that youve been offered a pump! I bet you're nervous. Can I ask what kind of a1c's you get? I don't think I've ever heard anyone...

Btw when I say about 6.1 during pregnancy I tested every single hour and treated for hypo every other hour as told by the consultant at the time. Its not something that's possible for every day life

Hi thank you for replying! My issue is before I had my daughter I never took care of myself I got into a bad way with my sugars ignoring them and I got a bad pain in my left hard and really blurred vision. Whilst pregnant I got my a1c to 6.1 continuously for 9 months and the pain and blurred...

hi all, I don't use the forum much I just occasionally come on when I'm in need of advice! So here's my issue. A year ago I did a carb counting course as my a1c was around 8.5. I've had major (and I mean major) anxiety over the past year about my diabetes. About going low about complication...
