That was the NICE quote I was looking for.Thank you.

I came for information and gain some understanding, which I have got lots of from here.

'Reading your comments in this thread and some others I get really angry. The number of disparaging remarks about your doctors and nurses is astonishing. Talking about educating them?!?!? Who the hell do you think you are? If you are so sure of your ways, why are you going to your doctor, nurse...

Well its better than nothing. I am a HCP and I am feel like a stick trying to go against the flow of the tide. Even people who should know better just think sugar is the problem and ignore the role of carbohydrate, complex or not. Its disheartening to see people with high RBG eating very...

Sorry to hear about your troubles. When diabetes and kidney failure are often linked you think someone would get their ahead around doing some simple recipes that cover both. I think everyone gets fed up of reading labels or scanning them and having to work out what they can eat. If they would...

With the use of continuous blood glucose sensors fitted to 'normal' people , they should be able to devise trails on how foods effect people at different stages of their lives. It would be interesting to take a healthy pregnant mum and see how blood glucose response changes over pregnancy. If...

This came up in my FB feed. I doesn't give a full report of the research but its interesting...

Biltong, not cheap but tasty. Lidl sell it for £1.29, If they have not cured it with sugar virtually carb free.

I love my coffee and now use a whole bean machine, https://electrical.coop.co.uk/Delonghi-Magnifica-ESAM4200-Bean-to-Cup-Coffee-Machine-in-Silver-DEL-COF-ESAM4200-BA?gclid=CjwKCAjw7cDaBRBtEiwAsxprXbDOXiBIcY3V26m61GkizcD8VnVplUXw86ABX4C6VQuSUWznsCvriRoC9tYQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds which although the...

Greek yoghurt and a handful of mixed seeds or a small amount of fruit. I keep the pots so I can buy bigger sizes and decant for work. If really hungry add a boiled egg, I boil several at a time and keep them in the fridge.

First of all I have a vested interest, I am a HCP, and over weight but not as overweight as I was before I started LCHF diet. I recently stated work some in a place with lots of different HCP with lots of primary care specialities, I would say the majority are over weight some of them grossly...

I think the success of any diet is finding food that you enjoy that fits in with your lifestyle. My daughter lost 5 stones using low calorie shakes but never really addressed her eating habits, so as soon as she started eating 'normally' she piled it all back on. You have to decide, only you...

The one thing the private appointment has over the NHS is time. Everything else is the same, most of the tests will be done most likely by the same labs but its sitting with someone who has time to go though everything. I was ill, not with diabetes, this time last year, and ended up in A&E, I...

I would read your own post as if you were someone else. Are there any positives in this relationship? You are not going to wake up one morning without T1, so he has to adapt, because you are having to adapt, but like most changes in life you have to want to change. does he have the capacity to...

You remind me of my daughter, for some reason she knows all the right things to do and often choses the wrong ones. In her case, I do not think this may apply to you, it's fear of failure and comparing themselves to others. A self fore filling prophecy, I am rubbish so there is not point in...

There are so many apps, forums and websites that are free to users but are supported by advertising that I can not really understand the decision. On that basis people feel they are not being used, its an understandable trade, that happens all over the internet. Big marketing mistake. The...

Its flumpy February, its the only time I would rather be at work. Eating less carbs made me feel better straight away, but if I eat over 20 in one go I just want to sleep.

I am lazy also, and most days I eat under a 100 carbs, and under 1500 cals. How long does it take to make an omelette with cheese, stir fry chicken with veg which you add a bit of soy sauce with ooomi or konjac noodle. Less time than it will take to wash the blender. My fry pan is my friend, its...

85% dark chocolate, if you buy it from Aldi or Sainsbury's it comes in what looks like a big bar but it is made up of five individually wrapped bars. I keep them in the car or in my handbag. Portion up some bags of nuts. The small Metcalfe popcorn, yes it has carbs but under 10. Baby Bel. Any...

When I stared low carb a work colleague practically tried to force me to eat chocolate cake. After my third no, I started to get cross, but it did make me wonder what the phycology was about forcing food or drink on someone. Is it because you are not the same they think either you are not...
