    A bit of self-promotion, but the forum gets a decent mention

    Great news! Looking forward to listening to it. Got the grandchildren today so will be this evening. Something to look forward to. Dan's podcasts are always so good....just like his deliriously guilt free cakes. ;-) I don't look at it as self promotion. It's just a way of sharing your journey...

    BREAD

    What can I say. Once an addict....... to be honest bread was never really my thing (apart from garlic bread). It will be a once in a while thing.

    BREAD

    Its gone in the freezer. I have a slice of toast every so often but even the hi-lo puts up my bs. This will be a better option. I will still only have on occasion. It's just sometimes I do appreciate a slice. I'm giving one loaf to my daughter who has started on low carb for weight loss. 21lbs...

    BREAD

    I am so exited to share this. For anyone that enjoys bread this might interest you. Today my low carb bread arrived from Amazon, not cheap at £5 a loaf (no i haven't won the lottery haha) or 35p a slice, which sounds much better. I bought from Amazon...

    Long Covid. A support thread for those who take a while to recover from Covid-19

    I'm not sure what my max was as I don't have that info now sorry but I do know that for a few days when I couldn't eat or think of food my bs was high (like the previous post). It settled again thankfully and has been normal since.

    A1c finger prick test

    Thanks for the tag @Rachox sorry for the delay in replying. I use @a1cnow regularly. It usually reads lower than my actual a1c at the drs but I still like using them as it gives me a rough idea of how I'm doing. Just had my bloods done at my surgery as it happens. I took an a1cnow test on the...
