You're quite right, you haven't! I've simply quoted what you wrote and gave my opinion..... I replied to this post that another member created and I mentioned Linzi's granola as an alternative. This member, including myself, is amongst others who wish to find out if there are alternatives to...

Thank you Jo123, bluetit and Avocado [emoji4] The last couple of days have been difficult, but seriously, time never seems to be on my side. I could do with a free day to prepare different foods, but I'll get there, just have to think positive and learn as much as I can.

Fair enough if you enjoy a savoury breakfast, but I don't! This is why I'm trying to find an alternative to cereal. I am very new to this way of eating and when I learn more I may/will realise that there isn't a good or suitable alternative to cereal. If I have to eat plain yogurt with a...

Well done to you, your readings have come down. I'm on the 2000mg Metformin and my inky gripe us swollen ankles. Can feel a bit sick, but overall I'm OK, but I need to reduce the puffiness, so hoping if my hba1c is reducing after test on Monday, then maybe it can be considered, but I don't...

Thank you luceelou. [emoji4] I'm on Ramipril and Bisoprolol, but it's not these, been on these for 10 months + It's the Metformin that have caused my ankles to swell! They were as slim as a pencil before, (well, not quite as slim as a pencil, lol) [emoji13] But talking to the professionals...

Morning, well for the first time in two weeks of testing, my bg just now was: 8.2 Not low y any means, but previous morning readings have indicated 11, 12 and 13. Plus, considering I had the finest pizza and garlic wheel from Waitrose last night (late home as I visit Mum every night after...

I've been eating full fat Greek natural yogurt with very small handful of blueberries. I had 4 eggs as scrambled egg 2 days ago and they always bung me up. But previously to two days ago, I've been fine with the 'loo', lol. Ankles have been swollen for over 5 weeks now, left more than right...

I'm going for my diabetic check next Monday, so will ask about it then. It's not nice, I've not got fat legs, but swollen ankles were horrid at one time pre weight loss, but now it's back, it brings memories too, silly, but it does. Maybe they will reduce my tablets depending on what my HbA1c...

Unsure why they come through sideways, sorry.

Cinnamon crunch sounds lovely. Thank you both. I've just come across the attached two recipes and wondered if these were any good please?

How will I find out how many carbs I should consume daily please? Plus how much should we be guided by when looking at the nutirional value on reverse of food products whether it be for a lunch time meal or other?

Thank you all [emoji4] My ankles were slim before I started on the 4th Metformin tablet (500mg), then the swelling started. They hurt now to bend, moreso my left one. Yes, I'm taking BP medication too, never had a problem with it though before, it's since starting the Metformin.

That makes sense Brunneria. It's having the time to study the carbs and how much I should use a day. I'm nearly always rushing here or there and although I am having a whinge, I know I must and I know that I want to get this right eventually. After all, it's for my health and future long life...

Thank you all and thank you @cusally. Yes, I am feeling very disheartened and low since true diagnosis. I've done so well in losing 3.5 stone since 2014 on the slimming world way of eating, but have gone over board with the fruit. However, I cannot afford to put this weight back on. I ate the...

I've read that this Linzi's granola is about 3.8g of sugar per 100g, which is about 1/2 teaspoon per 50g portion. Are these statistics suitable for a diabetic please? I've bought a packet of goji berries and flaxseed, milled flaxseed and Sutton gold today to make this granola that someone else...

Yes, I eat those regularly and they're North Atlantic too, which I read yeterday were the best out of a few other named brands to eat, due to high mercury levels in those brands. Thank you noblehead [emoji4]

Thank you Jonbvn I'm just concerned about the weight gain in a short space of a week or two since making these changes. Maybe I'm doing it wrong or maybe my body cannot hande the LCHF way...... Feel quite against this lunch now haha and would love a sandwich instead. Best eat it though...

Morning all I received a few books yesterday entitled Reverse your Diabetes Diet book and Reverse your Diabetes by Dr David Cavan, the 8 week blood sugar diet by Dr Michael Mosley and Type 2 Diabetes Cure. All recommended by a few members on here. Thank you Since starting this LCHF last week...

Thank you AndBreathe :)
