There's a "What have you eaten today" thread here and also some other ideas regarding recipes and food: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/category/low-carb-diet-forum.18/ Good luck xx

Yes, I see what you're saying - it just annoys me as I was looking forward to getting my first results after starting the LC/HF way of living. Just the DN spouting numbers at me won't sink in like if I had it in black and white beforehand. I will just worry though that my cholesterol has got...

If I phone or go in I will only see the Receptionist who just phoned me and she seemed quite adamant that I wasn't getting them but had to go in for a discussion instead. Why do they do this!!! They start a system whereby you get printed read-outs so you can tick off the things you want to...

So.. I've been waiting patiently for my test results but I got a phone call this morning asking me to go in on Wednesday to discuss my results with the DN. I said I haven't had my printed results yet and the Receptionist said "yes, but the Dr. has pre-empted that and wants you to go in and...

I think the Glyburide can cause hypos though :(

Thanks for all your tips and good advice everyone. Sugars have been up in the 8s all day for no apparent reason as I've been good and got straight back onto the diet. I think I'm in overload at the moment. I need to just get on with it and stop whining :(

Are you on any meds? (If you don't mind me asking) My bit of pizza cheat yesterday gave me a FBG reading of 8 this morning. Do you think that when you do strict LC/HF any deviation comes as a shock to the system and peaks you higher than if your body was used to all the carbs? Living with...

Hi, Learning2me. First of all congrats on your weight loss x At least that's encouraging. I can't advise on the readings because I'm still confused. I've read on several websites that taking a morning reading and 2 hours after eating would give you an idea if you are getting those numbers...

Thanks @ Bluetit1802 Yes, that's a good idea to do a meal plan, although come to think of it I did log all my foods in a Word document up to quite recently so I could go back and just make a plan based on what I was having when I was full of enthusiasm and determination. As for the Lidl HP...

Aww thanks @AndBreathe x Sorry I've not had a chance to reply til now but I had my Retinopathy check this morning, then went on to visit a relative in hospital who is very poorly and then shopping to make sure I have plenty of things in. You always talk such a lot of sense and are very...

Yes, been there and done that. No bread, pasta, cereal, even stopped the Lidl High Protein rolls because I felt bloated after half of one, well basically the Low Carb/High Fat diet for 3 months now. :( Still haven't had the baby, ..lol)

PS: Just read your post on the Pregnant Belly thread and answered it. Funny how it ties in with what I've said here x

I think this answers some of my questions on the "One Month into ..." thread that I just posted on. It's what I needed to know and a plan of action that I will have to work on. I do have a slow cooker so I could well bulk cook but I have to cater for O/H too which is difficult because he would...

Thanks @AndBreathe I did wonder if it was a kind of "reactive" low after the peak that I never got to see. I appreciate your point of view regarding the Metformin too. I seem to have hit a bit of a wall right now :( I started off so well and so determined but now I'm struggling real bad...

Hahaha! :D I think I've been missing out. I've been so strict with myself that I thought even 1 chip would spoil all my hard work. And could I stop at 1 :) Once I got the taste again .. who knows. I admire your self control x

Well the title should be "Two months" now so I thought I'd update now. I think I've been almost angelic on the Low Carb thing. No usual carby things have passed my lips apart from 2 wobbles when I had a bacon sandwich with real bread one morning and a portion of breaded scampi with corn on...

Me, which is probably how I got to this state to start with. :( I don't think about food until I'm really hungry and then I want it double quick so always quicker to grab a sandwich or some toast. Always have meat and stuff in the freezer but forget to get it out the night before and by the...

Well I have heard it a lot, not just on the internet but then a lot of people say that the LC/HF diet doesn't work and there's plenty of proof that that it does so, as you say, it's a case of picking what you think will suit you and that you can stick to. x

Well done xx There's always someone who will burst your bubble but just ignore them. I hadn't but I spent a lot of time this evening looking at it. I think I could do it but when people say that if you don't eat enough calories your metabolism slows down and goes into starvation mode it makes...

Some people have a knack of throwing things in the pot and it comes out good. Not me I'm afraid :( I was just looking at your Stats and you have done amazingly well. You've lost nearly 2 stone in only a little more time than I've struggled to get nearly a stone off. Brilliant. xx Full of...
