Hi Jo, Welcome to the forum. You will find lots of infoirmation here, which may initially add to your confusion, but stick with it. Two things to remember, we all react differently to our condition and a lot of the stuff posted here is based on personal experience. It is unfortunate that our...

Well done Kevin, you have taken a big step towards controlling your health. Welcome to the forum btw, use it, lose hours (maybe days) reading posts and articles. The advice here is amazing and I know the people here were instrumental in me controlling my diabetes. You can control your diabetes...

When your health and your diet says to avoid something, that is what you should try to do. I find substitutes are not usually adequate. Like alcohol free wine for the driver, just not worth it, water will do. If bread spikes your blood sugar, give it up. If marmalade spikes your blood sugar...

Fantastic news!! Well done to you. I am glowing a little today as well, my HbA1c result today was for the second time running outwith the diabetic range at 37. Very little comment from the practice nurse, other than my bloods were excellent, when I wanted to hear I was excellent! I must admit...

I know this is an old thread but I had to post what I think is the best (and easiest to make) nut roast ever. The biggest issue I find with nut roasts is getting the right constituency and this recipe has it spot on. Nowadays I use Lidl high protein rolls instead of bread and do not use cashew...

Fresh spinach leaves, the heat of the poached eggs wilt the leaves ever so slightly.

Kalispera @Bud_-_Hess kai xero poli. Just different measurement scales and the link provided by @Robbity should help you. How wonderful to be living in Greece, I cannot wait to visit in August and eat my two favourite dishes ever, Fassolakia and Xoriatiki, both marvelously low carb.

Up here in Scotland, the Scottish Championship League games start a week earlier on 6th August. My team, Dumbarton have an away opening game at Dunfermline. That suits me as Dunfermline is quite close to where I live. The League Cup group fixtures kick off on 16th of July. Start of the season...

For those who are interested in some facts about Brexit or Remain, this video might help. I have not read the recent comments on this thread yet but may do so before bedtime. This video is very good and explains things well.

You could also say that the money the UK government lose by not taxing the corporations is our money, and the EU is showing more willing to recoup that.

Isn't it great when you can convert a known dish or recipe to low carb? That reminds me of a lasagne dish using cabbage instead of pasta sheets, might try that soon. Tonight I am attempting a lower carb and low calorie Fassolakia (Greek green beans in an oily tomato sauce). It smells pretty...

Our present government is not interested in doing this, and since you ask, I do think they are incompetent. Look upon the EU as a double lock mechanism to achieve this.

http://www.diabetes.co.uk/blood-glucose/dawn-phenomenon.html Have a read of this, it may explain the high am readings. I remember stressing about this dawn phenomenon when I first started low carbing but it gradually got better. Keep on keeping on!

Breakfast: half a lidl high protein roll with sliced tomato Lunch: Butternut squash soup Afternoon tennis treat: 100grams strawberries, chopped up no sugar jelly and 50 grams of Greek yogurt, yummy! Dinner: Feta and salad

I find sweet potatoes spike me so avoid them now.

With whom are your government going to secure a better deal with and how are they going to achieve that? The last time the UK benefited from being a member of the EU, was probably today. With the 3.5 million jobs which are directly linked to the EU, the fact that 50% of our exports go to EU...

Taking control was also something I heard a lot of during the Scottish Independence Referendum, or as we call it the Neverendum. Most of them engaging in politics for the first time, which should be good, but very few of them understood the stark realities. Another phrase bandied about was...

100 grams of watermelon contains 30 calories and 8 grams of carbs according to the t'internet. I have bought a small one to have as a snack with grated chillies but I will weigh it carefully.
