Breakfast: 1 avocado mashed with lime juice, 60g cubed mozzarella, 1 slice cooked chicken breast, mixed seeds, then 100g full fat greek yoghurt with 2 tsps pomegranate seeds (I LOVE these! You have to factor in carbs, it's 2.3g for 2 teaspoonfuls, but they are so so nice mixed with yoghurt. Like...

I think you're doing we'll - good news on the insulin requirement drop! :) Just a couple of thoughts for if you wanted to drop further - not saying you should, more that you could without depriving yourself of food and feeling hungry. It's difficult to count the carbs for you without knowing...

What IS the deal with polypols? Every source I read seems to say a different thing. For example Dr Bernstein and bloodsugar101 both say avoid them completely because they metabolise just the same as sugar. But surely if that was true they wouldn't be allowed to sell them as having zero net...

1997? Seriously? If that's right, that makes me feel REALLY old, my son was born in 1996! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

30g Rice Krispies and milk -about 32g carbs. That's about as much as I have in a day :) and unless you actually measured it out, it's quite unlikely that you only had 30g - have you seen how little that is? ;) and how likely is it to fill you up for long? If I were you, if you want to cut down...

Hi! You're not alone, I find it terribly difficult to get blood sometimes. Denise's advice is good, but I can do all that, stab my finger and still not get ANY blood at all, so nothing even to squeeze. I compromise on milking - if I get a tiny pinprick of blood, I hang my arm down by my side...

What's the approximate recipe to make a crispy crepe type pancake? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Yes, lancets are the thing that prick the finger. It's worth asking your GP/diabetic nurse first, as they may be fine giving you a meter. If they flatly won't, then I would recommend the Code Free because it is much cheaper to run - you can end up spending a lot on strips if you test a lot...

Patch, are they thin and crispy like a French crepe, or smaller and thicker like a scotch pancake or the kind you get with a McDonald's breakfast? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

The fat may have been relatively high but I'm not sure why that would affect blood glucose? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Very good low carb day today. Measured pre-dinner at 6.8. Little bit surprised, as that is pretty high for me, but there it is. 2 hours post low carb dinner, measured 7.8. Very surprised, don't think I've ever had a post meal reading that high, apart from an 8.1 after fish and chips. So I...

I'll try those tips Susie! :) Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

What is the problem with peanuts? I'm worried cos I have them quite often. They don't seem high in carbs to me? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Breakfast: bacon, slice of burgen and scrambled egg. Made myself some yoghurt, flaxseed and raspberries as well, but was too full to eat it. 8g total Lunch: my experiment with almond flour pancakes. Bit messy looking and tasted nice. Very filling. 5g total Dinner: 90% pork chipolatas from...

I will try this. I know what you mean about bacon, I love it but just don't want to have it too often (I'm supposed to be sodium restricted, for one thing). I like the sound of the Chinese five spice too. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Ooh Susie that sounds lovely! When you say frying steak, was that the very thin kind that is sometimes sold as "minute steak"? Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Had an experiment with almond flour pancakes for lunch today. Generally I was pleased, the taste was very nice. The texture a bit more "mealy" than normal pancakes. They were very filling. I found it hard to achieve proper turning over without them breaking up, so they were a bit scrambled by...
