I did a crazy thing yesterday by eating half a M&S lemon and sultana Danish cake….my spike at 8.3mmol stayed high for two hours and didn’t come way down to 6.2mmol until 3 hours! I didn’t even enjoy that half cake! I hope I haven’t blown my 3 month HbA1c check up due this month...

Hi, I have been on a low carb /sugar for 2 months now and I have lost 5.5kg. My BG on waking is around 5.3 to 5.6mmol. I really thought I would try a slice of my home baked wholemeal bread (no sugar) at 45g. I was delighted to see my BG wasn’t nearly as high as it use to be after eating...

This is crazy I know but surely one Maynards Sherbet Lemon can’t cause a spike or can it? My tum was quite empty and because I was out I had a quick sweeetie. One and half hours later when I got home my reading was 6.8mmol! What! I don’t even get this high a reading after a...

I would like to ask if the LowCarb Program is worth paying for? I’m pre diabetic at an HbA1c number of 47 in April. All I want is a properly worked out menu plan. I’ve cut carbs and cut down on sugar for 3 weeks now and lost nearly 3kg. However I’m not sure if my eating is WELL...

I’ve been on a low carb low sugar diet for 3 weeks now but today I felt a bit faint, lightheaded and very weak in my body…and very fatigued …I just wanted to lie down. Quite possibly my carb and sugar intake the day before was far too low for me. Just wondering if anyone else has...

I’m prediabetic (HbA1c reading of 47) since 25th April. I’ve gone all out on daily carbs of between 50 to 70g, no sugar, cut down on fats. I’ve lost 2.5kg and am already getting really good blood glucose readings before and after meals after 2.5 weeks. My question is: I seem to be...

Hi, I have the Contour Plus monitor which I thought was good, but I took a blood test 2 hours after my main meal which was 6.4. Thinking it was a bit low for me, I re took it one minute later and got a reading of 7.1. Now I’m wondering if I should get a much more accurate little meter...

Hi, My HbA1c test came back rather high at 47mmol. NHS doctor said ‘it’s stable’. I seriously would have expected some help in the form of diet and advice but nothing forthcoming. I guess they don’t consider preventative treatment? Very disappointed. My cholesterol is also up from...

Hallo! I am going to make my own bread in a machine. I can’t have ‘hard bits’ as in whole wheat. I would like to know which flours to use for a low carb bread. I have made almond bread which is nice but would prefer something that tastes a little more like normal bread if...

Hi! This is my first time on the forum. My doc has told me to begin cutting out carbs and sugar. Sugar is no problem for me, but carbs!!! I love my jacket potatoes and Wholemeal bread. My test for insulin resistance was minimal he said and I had just a .2 elevation on my blood test for...
