Those are not low, they are dead on normal. Keep doing whatever you are doing :D

:D:D:D

Fathead pizza crust made as a rectangle then cut into smaller squares. Tough enough to make a sandwich out of and very low carb. Also very tasty.

Severe diarrhea with regular no problems with the extended release.

I would love to meet you all but it's a long cold swim from Canada :watching::rolleyes:

I don't think it really matters how you space them out in a day. I take 1000mg in the morning and 1000mg before bed. Taking them with meals helps with stomach issues but I take ER tablets on an empty stomach with no issues.

My favorites are green or waxed beans, cauliflower, broccoli, brussels, asparagus, and mushrooms. Frozen works well and most of these last a while. I also eat a lot of salad with deviled egg, ham, chicken, tuna, etc on top. Iceberg lettuce keeps well.

Try going down to 20 grams per day of carb. Once you are losing you can try to increase this a little bit at a time and you will soon know where your threshold for weight loss is. All of those carbs at first should be above ground veggies, no root veggies and no peas or corn. You may also be...

You don't need to eat pounds of lard or drink olive oil, just don't use low fat products. Put a bit of butter on your veg not veg on your butter.

Welcome to the forum. The short answer is yes, it is that good if done properly using your meter to guide you. I will tag @daisy1 to send you the welcoming info. There is a link in her post to the low carb program. My A1c has gone from 10.5 to 5.5 and I have lost 50 lbs. My cholesterol has gone...

You need a meter and the knowledge to use it. I am tagging @daisy1 to send you the newbie info. I agree that going low carb and low fat at the same time is difficult and probably not a good idea for most people. Your body has to have fuel and if it is not dealing well with carbs then it needs...

Out of curiosity I just tested my diet coke and got 0.8 mmol/l

The 4's and 5's are where I aim to be most of the time as these are normal non diabetic numbers and not hypos. If you are starting to see these numbers then you are doing something right and you need to let your body become accustomed to normal levels. Eating a chocolate bar is defeating your...

Welcome to the forum. I will tag @daisy1 for you and she will send the information pack for newcomers. This will explain testing and diet and the general advice you have asked for.

The glycemic index is how fast the carbs raise blood sugar. No matter fast or slow they will still raise your blood sugar. The only way to know how they affect you is to test with a glucose meter. We are all unique and there is no chart that will tell you how something will react with your...

Interesting article and very typical of a lot of our official nutritional guidance and beliefs.

I would see your GP. Numbness in the feet can be caused by many things other than diabetes.

That will not be enough for a coeliac test. It needs to be what "they" call a normal amount or about 3 slices of bread per day for several weeks. Trace amounts will not be enough. Good luck to you.

:D:D:D

Just remember that you need to be eating gluten daily to get a positive coeliac test. If you have been gluten free for any length of time it will come up negative whether you are coeliac or not. If you are not eating gluten your body will not be making antibodies. It can also be negative for...
