    Indian Takeaway, Okay for Low Carb/Hi Fat?

    I've been a bad girl! Got another hour until testing time though..... . . . It was lovely though - even if it turns out it's the last one ever.

    Indian Takeaway, Okay for Low Carb/Hi Fat?

    Tried that, could only find a thread for "Fast Food", with mention of a couple of Indian things.

    Indian Takeaway, Okay for Low Carb/Hi Fat?

    Would an Indian takeaway be alright if you didn't have rice or naan bread, but instead cooked some spiralized courgetti? For instance I'm thinking of Butter Chicken, or Chicken Tikka Passanda, (both with fresh cream, almonds & coconut) or Balti Chicken Makhani (mild yoghurt sauce)? Some of...

    Hypos - can someone explain them ...?

    What did you do when you parked in the layby? Just wait until it went away? Or did you have a sweet?

    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    7.7 this morning - lower than it was last week when it was in the nines.

    Spiralized Veg?

    Courgettes yes, celeriac no. I knew you could spiralized carrots (I haven't had problems with carrots) but I didn't know you could do cucumber - I'd have thought it was too wet and flimsy. It was really suggestions for a sauce or other means of flavouring spiralized veg rather than a list of...

    Spiralized Veg?

    Hi all, does anyone have any ideas for using spiralized veg? no coriander or chillis or celery - and low carb. I've got a spiralizer that I haven't used yet, and I'd like to.

    No Dry Mouth!!!

    That's exactly what's been happening for the last... year maybe? Feels like forever anyway. I still had a drink at about 2am when I woke up to go to the loo, (my fault, I should have gone before I went to sleep, I was just so sleepy I forgot) but no dry mouth then either. Can your shoulders...

    Sweating - Cause? Lol!

    Good grief, 2.4! I've been happy recently that my morning resting rate seems to have come down from the 9's to the 7's... so if I'm hot and sweety and the radiator isn't on, I should maybe test? Gonna have to get a load more strips, I've only got about 10 left.

    No Dry Mouth!!!

    This is a first for many, many months, maybe a year. But this morning I woke up and my mouth was NOT dry! First time in a very, very long time. (what a nice Easter present!) Bluebells are coming out, buds are bursting on all the trees, daffs are continuously opening and displaying their colour...

    Slept Though Last Night! Hooray!

    Oh me too PatsyB, it's been so long I've forgotten what a real night's sleep is like. Mind you I slept pretty well last night too, only woke at 2am for a visit to the loo, then all the way through to 6.58am, got up 15 minutes later and took the dog out - saw that there were 3 bluebells opening...

    Type 2 Lower BG Readings - When?

    Folks, I already decided (in December last year) to change my lifestyle, in terms of diet. Not A diet, but one's diet meaning what we eat normally. That's why I joined Slimming World. Then I found this place and got very confused. So I'm of the mindset to changing lifestyle - I just thought...

    Type 2 Lower BG Readings - When?

    Alright, 'advice' then. Lol.

    Type 2 Lower BG Readings - When?

    No, I'm afraid I haven't tried the Hi Fat/Low Carb diet yet. (written letter to Doc about it though.) But now I'm wondering about the 8 week Blood Sugar diet as well... I've now changed from Wholemeal toast in the morning to LowCarb toast in the morning - so that's halved that. (and sometimes I...

    Pinto, Courgette & Mushroom Bake - is it okay?

    Got that, I hope it's useful.

    Pinto, Courgette & Mushroom Bake - is it okay?

    I'm doing it, I'm doing it. sheesh, such a bully! ROFL! By the way, waiting until the weekend so Ian could start with the stabbing worked well, letting me segue into doing it myself more gently than plunging straight in - like the swimming pool, I prefer to ease into things.

    Type 2 Lower BG Readings - When?

    Definitely the Metformin, not High Fat, because I haven't gone over to that yet, only just sent a letter to my doctor about it. I have no intention of 'resuming my old life afterwards', I have already switched my brain over to the idea of total lifestyle change. But I both like and dread the...
