Hi, I'm on Metformin, specifically: Glucophage/Prolonged Release, Metformin Hydrochloride. When I was on the previous stuff, the ordinary Metformin, the doc said "no alcohol". I've read the leaflet for this version, and that is a little vague about alcohol. So I wondered if anyone else here has...

Wow... I like the thought of this. Used to just LOVE cashews, still have 2 packets in my bedside drawer, totally untouched since my husband bought them for me for Xmas as a treat, little realising I couldn't eat them anymore. I think I ought to at least test them with my handy dandy meter...

I've been trying and trying to get that Low Carb bread from Sainsbury's (Hi-Lo) but they never seem to have it, well I finally got the other one, the LivLife one from Waitrose today - got 2 - one to eat and one to freeze - so watch me tomorrow! Tee Hee!

I just had this for lunch: OMG it was so delicious!!! Bet my BG spikes up, that'll be the rice, but I've got a spiralizer, I could do a carrot like that, or close to it anyway. I could also try beetroot - at last! I've been wanting to for a while but it's been too cold to eat salads here for a...

Here's breakfast: It's Cheesy Tomato & Red Pepper Oat Cakes: I'm about to test these for BG in about 15 mins - they tasted lovely! So I'm crossing my fingers, and hoping really, really hard.

I keep getting these messages from someone called "Louise" on the Low Carb Mentor Program - telling me how wonderfully I'm doing (insert hollow stressed laughter here) - I've tried 2 or 3 times to get onto that but I can't figure it out properly. I can't do it at all, so I need to find some way...

Oh! Oh I see, Lol!

Eh? what is "85% Tesco stuff"? The veg sounds lovely.

Today: 50/50 toast - only 2 more slices and I never have to have it ever again! (bought in error) 2 x coffee.

Yes, I don't know about "Blessing" either, but the confirmation of diagnosis, (which I had pretty much been expecting/dreading) did flick a switch in my brain from "hope it will all go away by itself or some other miracle will happen" to "right, don't eat that, this one is okay, no, don't have...

Just had, Brie, Cheddar Thins, Baby Toms and Proscuito Ham, for supper. Yum!

Been there, done that, Robbity.

Oh dear! Avoid the yellow? That's the Sainsbury's sweetener, and the one I've been using. What's wrong with it?

Bother! But thanks for the warning.

I Luuuurve asparagus. It grows in various odd spots around our garden. At about this time of year, I start to hunt for the spears as they burst upwards - I have to be quick before they grow all ferny. But even if I manage to capture lots of our own, it's never enough. The last couple of years...

Thanks Mongolia. I'll look for that one. I seem to be having a fair amount of trouble finding breads that people recommend, I was wanting the low carb Sainsbury's one, "Hi/Lo Bread with sunflower seeds" but they were out of it... At least the girl I asked had heard of it, most of the time...

Thanks TwoPlayer, I'll look out for those.

Eh? more info please, like... are they available anywhere else? what are they called? stuff like that.. They sound lovely!

Oh I did, the TEgg part is my favourite though. And I bought some proscuito to wrap around asparagus for later.

Good morning all! I'm feeling really happy this morning, actually got off my butt and made TEgg this morning. Managed it before Mum got up! Wayhay!!! Had it with asparagus, baby courgettes, button mushrooms, a few julliened bits of carrot left over from a failed houmous, (wasted a perfectly...
