I may be clutching at straws but are there such things as low carb bread or bars/breakfast bars that are commercially available? Or are they a myth like the tooth fairy lol? I've obviously heard of Atkins but don't want to go and buy anything only to find out that I shouldn't actually be eating...

gosh just goes to show what doc and nurse told me was def not right, and def shouldn't be eating lots of wholemeal bread and baked potatoes! thank you

Thank you will look into that! I started low carb diet and on day three so new to it all and just learning

I'll maybe leave it for a wee while before facing temptation of chocolate. I'll stick to a few nuts and sugar free jelly and possibly a few raspberries every now and then

I nearly had a heart attack when I looked at the back of my cream cracker packet! There was 5.4g of carbs in ONE cracker! Obviously went straight in the bin!

Thanks will keep an eye out for them

I'm just scared that if I start I won't stop! Might have to try it when hubs is around so he can put it up high where I can't reach lol!

I do like nuts but not almonds, they always remind me of marzipan and I've always hated marzipan. I'll hard boil some eggs tom and keep them in fridge, for 'just in case', thank you.

I just had some sugar free jelly delivered in my asda order today! This is all new to me, diabetes and the low carb diet, but I am feeling far more positive after finding this site!

Nice!! One of my daughter's has been emailing me recipes for fritata thingies which sound yummy!

Oh I wish I wasn't a snacker! It's always been a downfall of mine and it's doubly so now so it's something I'm working hard to overcome. I was a chocolate addict, yup, addict isn't too strong a word, I'd literally have a panic attack if we'd ran out and send hubs out to 24 hour supermarket of an...

I have to admit I can't quite face eating first thing, black coffee for me lol, it's usually at least an hour n half before I have anything, is that ok? I saw on the dietdoctor low carb site that they say it's ok to forego breakfast? Is that ok for diabetics?

Thanks, it's kinda scary to begin with so this site is a godsend. Unfortunately I don't like cheese and not overly fond of yogurt but do love eggs, been having a lot of those! I also enjoy all kinds of meat so have stocked up fridge on a good variety of steaks, lamb, chicken (with skin on yay!!).

I have to lose weight and I know from past experience carbs are my mortal enemy lol. I've never been able to lose weight before unless I limited them so it seems the sensible way for me to go. I do blinking miss them though! I have no idea what my readings were, neither the doc nor the nurse...

Thank you, this Diabetes thing is a tad scary to begin with and I'm soooooooo grateful I found this site as I was literally blundering around in the dark. I'm still in the tunnel but I'm sure I can see the glimmer of light up ahead and that's due to this site and everyone here!

Shoot, lol, ok, so ryvita is another thing going in the bin. Are low fat jelly pots ok? I've never tried pork scratchings but will certainly give them a go. I just got frozen rasps and some cream so may try a wee bit of those ton. I guess it's trying to break the habit of snacking at night...

So my meter should arrive today and just wondering how often I should test? I've been 'lurking' and reading and I'm assuming I should test before a meal and bout 90 mins after? But is that every meal i.e. 6 times a day? Also, I've always been an evening snacker, yup, I know it's something I'll...

Thank you, I signed up for the type 2 testing and will get my monitor soon. I just don't understand how they think we can manage this without a meter, seems madness to me lol.

Thank you very much, I signed up for the ten week low car thingie yesterday, also signed up for the type 2 testing yesterday, unfortunately I've not even been offered an appointment at a diabetic clinic although I'll see how I go and if I feel I need it I'll ask my doctor direct for a referral...

Wow! That's fabulous! I'm def going the low carb way and have ordered book and trying to get as much info as I can. I'll be starting to test as soon as I get my monitor delivered which should be in next day or two. No doubt I'll be asking some pretty stupid questions lol but I'll plod on and...
