I soooo empathise with you. I used to eat loads of chocolate. I talked this through with a friend of mine and both of us agreed that we knew what we were doing was like 'killing' ourselves but found it impossible to stop. She was diagnosed as T2 roughly the same time as me. She had a Dr who...

When I first worked abroad I can remember being very short of money. Not close to relatives so couldn't pop in for a fill up. Didn't have a credit card etc. I used to buy something like a chicken and make a roast, which then became a stew and then a curry. If I couldn't afford the chicken bit I...

I'm T2. No strips from the Drs so I buy mine online from Spirit Healthcare. I buy 3x50 per month-(CareSens) = £38.25 By testing I have realised that for 4 years I was not in control of my BS despite my review meetings when I was told I was ok. When I started testing I used to see regular spikes...

Whitby jet your pizza recipe rocks. Thank you. It takes so little time and when the rest of the family insist on their takeaway I can munch my own pizza. My sister enjoyed sharing mine as a trial. We shared the mixture between us and it came to approx. 13g carb each.I used mozzarella cheese on...

Definitely going to try this one it sounds fantastic!

I just made the most odd 'bread' following a Dana recipe. It turned out about 4cm deep so no rising but it tasted somewhat similar to a firm malt bread (it had molasses in, oats etc)When divided up it was approx. 5g carb a slice. So whilst I didn't dislike it I probably won't make it again. Will...

I've tried a lot of diets in my time, including Lighter Life when I lost four and a half stone. As soon as I stopped though I put it all back on. I was in a better place headwise but it hadn't changed my eating habits. I now attend WW more for the support and the weekly weigh in than anything...

First baking from the recipe book= wholemeal bread exactly as written . Carb value for a 500g loaf divided into 10 slices was 20g carb. per slice. Well worth the sin of trying it out. Tomorrow I am trying one of Dana C's recipes. When it says gluten flour is this any flour with gluten in it...

Trouble is, I also ordered Heavenly Chocolate/ Butterscotch Ice cream mixes, balance chocolate bar,turkish delight and their spaghetti too......all low carb.. it will be fun trying everything out.

My blood tests were 'mislaid' on Monday but to-day the Doctor telephoned to say that my thyroid was very noticeably underactive. I had already told them this in April when I suddenly put on one and a half stone.I then had to make an appointment to see the Dr and have to wait 2 weeks. I'm at the...

Just off to WW to be weighed. Got a bit of a shock this morning. The Dr rang to tell me that my thyroid was underfunctioning quite badly. I told them this back in April when I put on one and a half stone in about a month. However I kept on with my Lower carb diet and eventually started to lose...

Spent about 2 hours on the web looking for and sourcing low carb equivalents such as carbophobia bread mix , atkins bread mix, wheat gluten powder, oat bran, coconut flour,rice protein flour and so on. Will let u know how I get on when they arrive!

Took your advice WhitbyJet. I am now the proud owner of a breadmaker. I'm going to try my first loaf to-day. I thought it best to do each recipe in the leaflet first. So I'm going to start with ordinary white bread etc.The family can be the taste testers for that one. Out of interest where is...

Re: Type 2's : What was your fasting blood glucose in a morn 8.1 at 7.15 9.0 at 8.45 when I sat down to eat breakfast. mine's just a normal monitor!

Just need to let off steam for a few minutes. I seem to spend half my life having blood tests done at the surgery because I'm diabetic and because I take warfarin. Blood tests never seem to coincide so sometimes it can be 3/4 visits a week. I had a phone call to-day from the surgery to say that...

All I can say is what I do .I was presribed 2x500mg and I take one during breakfast and one during the evening meal. This was how I was told to take it and it works fine for me.

I was diagnosed as T2 about 5 years ago. I have only recently adopted the lower carb approach and have on average 60g a day. I wish I had been able to read The Diabetes Revolution by Dr Charles Clark and Maureen Clark then. It is simple in its description of diabetes, gives a concise approach to...

I started on the weight loss path in May. Stuck to my diet etc but found a new medication had slowed my thyroid dow so I put on 20 lbs! Stopped that particular tablet and for 5 weeks stayed the same. I have now started to lose the extra weight. I weighed in originally at 21st 5lbs. I am now 20st...

Thank you for all your posts. I am going to try some of that low-carb bread AND the custard etc. Thank you so much everyone. xxx
