Prof Tim Noakes who coached top athletes for decades made an apology to the world just a few years ago as throughout his career he would promote high carb consumption. He said his advice was completely wrong, the research now shows better performance, endurance and they were able to build more...

7.2 at 8 this morning. Finished off the last of the festive stuff last night. That tinsel takes a bit of chewing, I’ll have tinsilitis if I’m not careful! :p Have a wonderful Wednesday everyone x

With the meals you’ve described my BG would be through the roof as way too many carbs. Maybe if you try to lower your carb intake. There are lots of ideas on this forum to substitute the potatoes, my greatest find since going low carb is roasted cauliflower and when I make curry I have it with...

Sorry I should have specified particularly for type 2s as it’s been shown to help the body‘s sensitivity to insulin.

Yes that made me curious so checked on sainsburys standard white bread rolls 6 pack and they’re 25.5g per roll!

7.6 at 8am! I expected much higher, looked at my watch every hour until 5 o’clock this morning, sleep evading me and my brain wouldn’t settle. Plus sainsburys curry (no rice though) for supper. A very happy new year to all you lovely prickers! :happy:

I’ve had covid twice unfortunately, the first time tested positive for around 10 days and I was exhausted for about a month afterwards. The second time positive for only 4 days and recovered much quicker but I put that down to the 3 booster vaccines I’d had. Apart from taking supplements...

Oops too many carbs for me as I try and stay under 20g a day

Snap! I don’t think I could drink black coffee and class it as my breakfast but definitely need to get the measuring spoon out instead of guessing the amount! :woot:

I do a FBG every morning and occasionally before and then again 2 hours after a meal if I’ve eaten something new, as this will tell me if I can eat it again or something I have to stay away from. Knowledge is power! Do you eat everyday @Sarah69? When you say you don’t eat regular meals what...

Will you test you BG before and then again 2 hours after eating a slice to see if it affects you? Keep us updated as it’s always good to have a new recipe ;)

Does it state anywhere how many carbs per slice (or per loaf)? Im not worried about calories or fibre but would like to know the carb value before I eat it ;)

How long have you been on Metformin as this can cause gut pain and is a common side effect. It happened to me so I was prescribed slow release metformin. I still had a bit of niggly pain but after a couple of weeks that went away. Have you checked the ingredients in the squash as this might be...

@filly You can freeze milk (leave a 1-2 inch space for expansion), I often do as I sometimes buy It if I know I have friends calling round for tea and coffee I then freeze what’s left. yesterday‘s food Breakfast: coffee with unsweetened almond milk and a big splosh (that’s an undisclosed...

Just slipped out of the 5s to a 6.0 this morning. I’ve been watching lots of YouTube videos to remind myself of keto meals and recipes. My New Year’s resolution, to stick to keto as much as possible as I know it works 100% for me. Happy New Year’s Eve everyone. As @Estragon says ‘see you on the...

Just scraped in at 5.9 at 7:30 this morning bit late in posting. Hope everyone is having a good day

I’ve had 2tblsp of double cream in coffee everyday for the past 4 years and I’ve lost 4st so not sure it will help you gain weight but of course everyone is different

7.3mmols at 8am meh! I can tell I’m eating too many carbs without the finger pricks. Night sweats, not sleeping well, indigestion (which I haven’t had for at least a year) and my mood is low. It seems wasteful to throw out all the heavy carb food that’s left from Christmas but I think it has to...

Sorry bit late with the best wishes @Ashybang, haven’t signed in for a few days, hope you’re improving day by day and sending hugs

I’ve done the same but only half of my turkey (wings, legs and skin) would fit in the crockpot so the main carcass is in the freezer waiting for the next batch. A few herbs and salt added.
