I have also substituted the aforementioned cereal with half of one weetabix and then added the other ingredients, as I mentioned previously. Just as an alternative. :)

@Mr_Pot - ah, thank you for the info. I tried a 100% dark choc bar, ugh! Lol.

Hi @Captain Crunch Yes, I got a tub of psyllium husk off Amazon. Here’s a pic of what I ordered:

I’m with @Captain Crunch on this one. :) I weigh out 20g of the cereal he mentioned, so rounded up, 3g carbs, then add some more almonds, chopped up, chia seed, plus some psyllium husk (for more fibre), along with a tablespoon or 2 of ground flaxseed, then I add almond milk and a splash of...

Yes, well done and good luck for the interviews. You obviously have a great strength of character and have lots to be proud of by what you have achieved, I am sure there were times when you thought you’d never get better, but you have and will continue to do so. :) A low carb diet is a big...

——————————————————————— Lol. Yes, shopping is much quicker these days. We go out with the dogs most days and stop off for coffee in pubs and cafes etc. A lot of places will give you a free biscotti biscuit or a gold foil wrapped chocolate with your drink, which of course I used to like. My...

I eat lowish carb, but mostly can’t be bothered to look at recipes, as they often want you to use so many ingredients and it’s all a bit of a faff! Lol. I will occasionally cook or bake something if I feel like I want to try out a recipe, but for every day type meals, I just want them simple...

Yes, I agree with the others, for you to get a bg monitor. Take a reading just before taking your first bite of a meal and then test 1 hour later, and then an hour after that. Make a note of what you ate and what the figures were. Usually, you need not test 1 hour after the first bite, but at...

I went to one in December. It didn’t really tell me anything I didn’t already know, but when I was diagnosed, I joined the diabetes forums and Googled info on diabetes, so had found out quite a bit beforehand. However, it was good to be able to ask questions face to face at the meeting and to...

5.0 this morning. Did 3 miles on the exercise bike last night and was hungry when I went to bed, so not surprised at 5.0. It’s usually around 5.3 to 5.9.

My advice is that you make an appointment to see a doctor and that you attend it; explain your symptoms and mention the dizzy spells etc that you have had. The doctor will then decide what to do and whether to make any recommendations and / or do tests. Please do not worry about whether or not...

I haven’t tried this one, but have tried Godiva 90%, which is very nice, considering it’s dark chocolate. Sainsbury’s sell it. Mind you, I have to hide my chocolate though, otherwise my husband nicks it!!!

On my first visit to the DN, I told her I’d got a bg monitor. She told me she felt doing this was unnecessary, as I was only just in the Diabetic range, with an HbA1c was 50, and that I wouldn’t have far to go to get below this just by losing weight and exercising. Needless to say, I ignored her...

———————————————— Hi MM Well done for getting back on the band wagon! It’s no easy achievement and is downright difficult, but you’ve done it and you can now move forward. Don’t beat yourself up by dwelling on what was, it’s futile and a waste of energy. Turn the page and start afresh by getting...

@Tophat1900 - you have a JRT too! Yaaay! Gotta love Jack Rascal Terrorisers! Lol.

I was diagnosed in October of last year, with an HbA1c of 50. My second blood test is tomorrow and I’m hoping the result will be good, as I’ve lost 21lb since then, have exercised more (walking and using an exercise bike) and been on the LCHF diet, so fingers crossed! I have not missed...

Congratulations and well done! Yaaay! :D I’ve got my second HbA1c test tomorrow and have been doing low carb, a bit of fasting and more exercise, so I’m hoping, fingers crossed, that I’ll be below my first/diagnosis test result of 50.

Hi Just thought I’d share these pics and info on a breakfast cereal that I discovered yesterday in Sainsbury’s. The carb amount per 40g is 5.9 and 14.8 per 100g. I used 20g, and added almond milk, some chopped almonds, chia seed, psyllium husk and ground flaxseed, with a dash of cream and...
