I'm diet controlled too and without my meter I wouldn't have a clue whether I was getting the BG levels down. I don't want to wait til I get my test results and then find out that I've got worse. Even folks on meds like to know what's going on with their BG on a more regular basis and how...

I don't think you can make a sweeping statement that they are "foul" because they are not to your taste. Many people on here find them a good substitute for high carb bread and enjoy them.

I thought that about the baking powder being enough but mine didn't swell, foam or anything and it resembled a rather loose pancake batter - in fact, thinking about it, I may have had more success making it into pancakes :D I am too traumatised to try anything else at the moment. I need to...

:( Just another affirmation of my total lack of culinary skills. Came out flat as a pancake and all I could taste was egg. My "large" eggs were probably more like jumbo so should have used less probably. Hindsight is a wonderful thing .... not. And I guess the lack of cream of tartar...

Well my Phoopsies are in the oven as I type this. My mixture was so wet that it was impossible to keep them separate so they have just spread and combined with each other :( I hope it wasn't a waste of 6 eggs. :D I'll let you know how they turn out.

@Sobeit Hi, I found Heather's Toasted Seed Power Bread. It does sound yummy but so many ingredients. :( I doubt if I'll get round to making it but (hopefully) here's the link for it: http://ohsheglows.com/2014/11/12/heathers-toasted-super-seed-power-bread-from-yum-universe-vegan-gf/

I know this is an old-ish post but I was looking up psyllium husk and found this. I fancy making it but the only ingredient I haven't got is "cream of tartare". Is it essential? What does it do exactly. Would it work without it? Also, with the psyllium husk being a laxative, is it "Poopsie...

Oh yes, got it now thanks x

Nice graph but I can't pretend to understand it (blush). Maybe I'm just thick :(

I know the SD Codefree is favoured by a lot of people who have to buy their own testing strips as they are a lot cheaper and I was going to get one as my GP will only let me have 50 strips a month (and may even stop letting me have them as I'm not on any meds so no danger of hypos). I was a bit...

Have you tried the Lidl's High Protein rolls? They're low carb, big and very filling. I can only eat half of one. They're in the "fresh baked" section of Lidl's (if you have one nearby) and they're brown triangular shape. Lots of people on here have found them a life-saver when craving bread.

Me too. Often feel really hungry but then a few mouthfuls into the meal and I've had enough. Myfitnesspal keeps telling me I've not had enough calories too but how do you add calories without carbs? I don't eat raw cheese because it gives me migraine (it's ok if it's cooked for some reason)...

Had mine today. Had forgotten it already til I read this thread. Already had the one-off pneumonia and the shingles ones a couple of years ago. I'm not going to say that I don't have a reaction because that's tempting fate :D

Well worth giving it a try Janice. Have you seen @daisy1 post that she does for newbies. There's a lot of helpful information in that as to how to take control so that it doesn't have to be "progressive". It kick-started me into not accepting that it's all inevitable. Plus, this forum is...

Thanks Lizanne but I have to confess, that photo is a few years old now. I avoid having my photo taken these days, unless they're a long way away :D

The thing is, it's not so much the tempting food that makes it hard to watch him tucking in, it's more knowing what he's doing to himself and his diabetes but thinks he can get away with it and refuses to modify his diet :( There is a downside to losing weight at my age. You know the saying...

Aww the link didn't work for me but I searched for chicken and chorizo and they didn't have a pic and no details but I will definitely be having a look at them next time we're in Asda. We don't have one close by but we do go to it occasionally when we're close to our nearest one. Thanks for...

Wow, you deserved to lose more with all that walking x I have trouble doing half hour with my back pain :( I'm always saying I'm not fat I'm just too short :) I don't really have much of an appetite which isn't really a good thing because I often get told on "Myfitnesspal" that I've not eaten...

Thanks Lizanne. I got down to 11st.1 but for some reason I've gained 2lbs. No idea why, no cheats or anything. Never mind, we get fluctuations so not panicking. :) Two more for the "spend as little time in the kitchen as possible" clan :) If it comes in a packet or a tin and it's low carb...

Hi Janice x A lot of us T2s are getting our numbers down by following various diets. I'm doing the low carb high fat diet and keeping mine under control. Have a read on this forum at how others have controlled their diabetes and you'll find a lot of interesting posts about how it really does...
