Just wanted to ask, can you make the porridge the night before and cook it in the morning? Thanks

Thanks Rachox, I'll go to tesco tomorrow to make sure I get the right one. I'll report back soon.

I thought that might have been the reason. I'll buy some coconut cream and try it again. I really want to like it as I'm looking forward to porridge for breakfast. I'll be off to the supermarket tomorrow and let you know how it turns out.

Well, I used coconut milk, it said cream, but I didn't have any of that. Still, I'm not sure if I did it completely right, I might not have cooked it long enough. It tasted quite powdery or is that how it tastes? I tried the toasted bagel, it was o.k as it feels like your eating something of...

I received my bagels today, but haven't tried them yet. I was thinking of toasting one with cheese on, which might help with the flavour. I'll let you know. Also, I've brought the psyllium husk from Holland and Barrett - expensive - £15, but I'll look on the internet next time. I'm making the...

Good luck Jayney for your next blood test. Let me know how it goes. My next one is due in August. Thanks Goonergal, I'll have a look at that. Can't make the porridge today as I need to buy some ground psyllium husk powder. So, I'm gonna buy some this morning and make it for lunch. Hope you all...

O.k, I'm gonna try it tomorrow and I'll let you know how it goes. Wish me luck!!

Thanks Jayney and Rachox. I'll give the porridge ago, although my cooking skills aren't that good lol. I was diagnosed January 31st 2018. My A1C on diagnoses was 76 and 3 months later 52. It's going in the right direction. My levels in the last couple of weeks have increased slightly, not sure...

Thanks Jayney, I think I'll try the livlife, it does have low carb. I don't think I eat too many carbs, I'm quite low at each meal. I'm o.k if I have bacon egg etc for breakfast, but if I have greek yoghurt and raspberries my BG goes up higher than I would like. Maybe, I would be better if I ate...

I'm still waiting for mime to arrive, soon hopefully. If they taste good and don't spike me, It will be worth it. I tried a small slice of bergen bread today and it sent my bs to 9.4 so won't be doing that again. I've been low carbing for 4 months now and my blood sugars are still in the 6's and...

Hi Jayney, I've just ordered some bagels from the low carb website, 2g per bagel. I'm waiting for them to arrive and hope they will taste good. lowcarbmegastore.com. I'll let you know.

I understand what you mean. How long have you had diabetes. Some people have said they are able to eat more carbs as they have increased their insulin resistance. I know I haven't as yet, but was hoping as time goes on I might be able to increase a few carbs which will help me stabilise my...

Thanks for that, I'll have a read.

I test all the time at home. I have an Accu-Chek. According to that my average BG is 6.5 for 7 days, 6.4 for 14 days, 6.5 for 30 days and 6.7 for 90 days. I also have my sugar apt and that estimates my A1C at 5.7 but obviously that can't be right, although I only started using that a month after...

I know your'e right, I shouldn't compare, it's just hard sometimes not to. When you think about it, like you said, it took a long time to become diabetic, so hopefully, I'll live long enough to beat it. It's just a matter of time.

Shelly, I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't want to lose more weight. Your right when you say about increasing the healthy fats, I'm gonna start working on that and I know I'm quite an impatient person, but when I get frustrated, I read and read this forum and it does give me hope.

Thanks Guzzler, I'm gonna keep on trying, it was quite hard at first, but the longer you keep going, the easier it gets, although it can sometimes be a struggle with all the tempting offers on all the wrong foods but I just tell myself I don't need that rubbish inside me!!!

Good Evening All I've just had my first blood results backs since diagnosed on 31st January. Cholesterol results are much improved although I am not sure about the LDL as there seems to be 2 figures as below: Serum cholesterol 4.6 mmol/L Serum triglycerides 2.06 mmol/L Serum HDL cholesterol...

I went on the Desmond course a couple of weeks ago. They were very good in explaining how the liver and pancreas work and what happens when you have diabetes. Although they said type 2's don't need to test, they did agree that if your A1C level was on the high side, it would be a good idea to...

Congratulations on your results. Like you I was not overweight on diagnoses. I went on the Desmond course yesterday and they were very nice but told everyone that you should eat carbs and to cut down on saturated fats especially if you have high cholesterol and triglycerides, which I seem to...
