Ooh likewise bread. There are loads of different recipes online, many without linseeds!) I haven't tried any yet, but I have browsed them. There's a recipe for scones here http://www.diabetes-support.org.uk/forum/Blah.pl?m-1278861131/ Which might make a nice breakfast with cream and fruit?

I've seen some low carb cookbooks have suggestions but they do usually have linseeds in them (foul things!) Rose Elliot has a granola recipe which might be worth trying without the linseeds. It has coconut, seeds and almonds otherwise. Perhaps you could mix them together and experiment? That...

My Old Nissan Expired Yesterday GILET

Hi Cold Ethyl! I gave up all milk when I went LCHF 3 weeks ago so I now have my coffee unadulterated and black. I'm just not sure about the caffeine effects though. Logically I would have thought they'd push up BG levels, but I think I once read the opposite so I'll see for myself. I can't see...

I've hopped over here from my 'stress' thread as I'm getting more sign of this being DP or even coffee again. Today i woke at BG level of 5.1 which is incredible for me. Must be the LCHF. However, after only 5.6g carbs at breakfast I was at 8.1 after 2 hours. I did have coffee this morning as...

That makes much more sense. I did start to flounder half way through my thinking! Being T2 I also forgot that insulin requirements came into it :oops:.

It sounds like you are worried you'll be told off. Is that it? Or would you rather not know the results because there's a bit of you in denial and trying to avoid knowing the results? Or both? Is your doctor scary or are you predicting (s)he is but really it is all fine once you are there?

Oops - wrong forum I think. Can a moderator move this?

I have found it really surprising to find I am just assuming the sex of a poster and then I see from a post that they are the opposite! I won't name names.;) Anyone else having that problem?

Alaska beat me to it and sounds much more clued up.

Would it be possible to know? I'm not sure you could tell when I guess the LC will decrease need for, and therefore the circulating amount of, insulin in a person. Unless of course the HF was such that it caused greater resistance so the insulin levels went up again to counteract it. Perhaps the...

Of course! I remember now! (that's the problem with taping onto cassettes - lose the album artwork)

Hence your name, sanguine!

What have your DN and Dr said about everything getting worse with each treatment right down to weight gain on Atkins (could that have been muscle build up from exercise though? Usually they advise measurements of body or of body fat percentages I think). Any way it seems to me to point to...

:)

I have been watching the DP thread too. It was what inspired me to try getting my bloods down.

Hello Scimama. I never usually miss breakfast 'til later so my journey to work is after eating - bar that one time - so I don't think it's a liver dump. I have exactly the same rise even if I've had breakfast before leaving which is why I thought it might be the stress of mornings. Hi Zand. I...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've tried most. I even sometimes manage to trick myself into believing that I'm actually driving on holiday - but it only lasts fleetingly. Today I woke with a BG of 6.1, didn't eat breakfast (but ate something at work later on - I'm in at 7.40) but by the time...

Then cake or fudge (if I remember rightly). Sweeteners not sugar of course :)

Thanks for all the suggestions. I really should sleep more, certainly. I've tried switching from loud, angry music to classical music in the car. And I avoid the news. Those are a good start I think. Otherwise the stress really is all work-related and so can't be changed. :depressed: It'll be...
