Hi. Can anyone share their recommendations for a vegetarian low carb/calorie soup that is quick to make? (Not with onions though!) I have a mug of marmite broth sometimes, but would like to make something with fresh vegetables that could be made in a big batch and frozen if possible.

@ert Yes. He told me to lose weight.

I tested 2 hours after eating. It was 6.7 .Fasting this morning was 5.8.

Hi. I have been doing the 600 calorie (3 shakes a day) Exante diet for 3 weeks. Today I started the week where you have the 3 shakes plus a low carb 200 calorie meal. Is it safe to do this with Type 2? Since I ate the veggies and tofu my fingers and toes are tingling a lot and I don't know if...

Everyone is different. :) I think I am still trying to make sense of what my T2 diagnosis will mean for me and just wanted to share a recipe I thought might be useful for some.

@Jim Lahey This scares me. I'm a teacher and am struggling to read my lesson plans these days due to blurriness of vision .

I'll be honest, it is the thought of not having bread/rotis again that I found hardest when I heard I had T2. Thanks for sharing all the information on bread. It is useful to know.

I know it isn't bread, but it is very low carb and can be used for wraps which you might like It is a video of how to make flax seed wraps. It seems like it will be similar to a thick roti. It is vegan.

I think this explains the blurriness I have now when looking at my phone or trying to read.

@Dark Horse I did not realise my sight/ nerves could get worse by lowering my carbs.

@HSSS I am newly diagnosed ,so please can you tell me how will I find out how insulin resistant I am? Does it apply to T2?

Hi. If you are starting a LCHF diet, is there an amount to start on and then adjust up or down depending on your BG reading? Sorry if this is a daft question. I just don't know how many carbs I should be looking to eat when I come off the Exante diet. I guess it must vary from person to person...

@Daphne917 Thanks for your reply. I want to go up to 800 cals (like the 8-week Blood Sugar diet) for a bit before going onto a LCHF diet. I don't eat meat, fish or eggs so am not sure how to get the protein I will need as it seems the things I used to eat (dal, beans, quinoa , soya mince , chick...

Are there particular cheeses that have less carbs than others or are better to use on a LCHF diet e.g Edam? I'm vegetarian, but don't eat eggs , so cheese is something I was still hoping to use in moderation. (I'm trying to lose weight as well).

It was 80 /9.5

Good evening. I was diagonsed with T2 on 30th May and my G.P said he thinks that due to the high Hb A1C level I must have been undiagnosed for quite some time. I went to the chiropodist at the weekend and she checked my toes for any signs of damage to the nerves and found that 3 have no...

Hi. How much Braggs amino liquid can you have per day on a LCHF diet? Can anyone recommend sriracha sauce without garlic? I have looked online ,but not found any answers. I am thinking what I can put on my green veggies as from Wednesday I can have 200 cals of green veg and my 3 shakes per day...

That is superb news and an inspiration to those of us still on our way to T2 remission .

All the best to everyone doing this type of diet. The Exante shakes are around 17g carbs each, but I do have a bar in the morning which is 21g . I didn't weigh myself the first week, but the second week I lost 4.1 kg and my fasting blood glucose had gone from 9.5 to 5.8. I think the hardest...
