Hi, I’ve decided to reintroduce some carbs to my diet. I was prediabetic but low carb, around 18 to 20 grams a day, got me back into normal figures. Today we were out for lunch and my choice of food was a three bean curry, tho I opted not to eat the red kidney beans, and it was served with...

Hi, I’m trying to stick to a low carb diet and generally managing pretty well. We’ve just come back from a holiday where I did fall off the wagon but that’s another story. Anyway, what I’m wondering is what snacks people throw in their bags if they’re heading out for a long walk or something...

Feeling very happy today having just received my HbA1c test result. Five months on from a reading of 44 mmol it is now down to 38 mmol. A big thank you to everyone who offered dietary advice and encouragement. A LCHF has definitely paid dividends. I will continue as I am as I’m happy with the...

I was told I was prediabetic a little over three months ago after two raised HbA1c test. The first was 42 and the second 44. I was already on the forum and, having read about here, decided to try low carb as a way of reducing it. On low carb I started loosing weight quite soon. I was carrying...

I’m not sure if this is the right place to post but can’t see anywhere better. I‘ve been in the prediabetic range on my last two HbA1c test. I’m just over three months on from my last one and my surgery won’t retest until mid November so I thought I’d try a home test. I really wish I hadn’t...

Hi, I’m relatively new to low carb, high fat and wondering if an app that breaks down the food clearly into protein, carb and fat will give me a clearer idea of what I’m eating. Helping me make sure I’m getting the balance right. Do you use an app and do you find it useful? If so which app do...

Hi, could any recommend a FF Greek yogurt and where to buy it? I‘m having trouble sourcing any but zero or reduced fat. Thank you :)

Hi, I’m not overly concerned but just wondered if anyone could shed light on this. I did my blood glucose before breakfast and it was 5.1 mmol/L. For breakfast I had low carb muesli, half soya milk half water on it, 5 raspberries and 4 small strawberries. Tested again an hour and a half later...

Hi, I made some low carb ice cream yesterday from a recipe I found online. It tasted fine and was nice and refreshing for a warm day. It did say at the end of the recipe to take it out of the freezer 10 minutes or so before serving as it would be a bit hard, and boy they were not kidding! I all...

Could I get some help to clarify what it is I’m aiming to do in order to lower my HbA1C please. I know I need to be low carb. I’m back home from holiday this weekend so that’s going to be much easier as I have a supply of food from the Seriously Low Carb Store in my freezer. I also know I need...

Three months ago I had my second Ac1 reading of 42 mmol bit as I had one of 40 mmol in between I wasn’t diagnosed as prediabetic. I’ve been trying really hard to get it back below 42 mmol. Following advice on here I cut out bread, pasta and rice and as a result my weight has gone by 10 pounds...

Hi, I grow veg and some fruit. At some point during the summer there is always a glut and when there is as well as freezing I make jams and chutney. I was just wondering if anyone might have any low carb/sugar recipes to share. I've found one for jam online but nothing for chutney so far.

Hi, only my second post on here. In the last year my A1c level have been flitting in and out of pre diabetic range. My last test was 42 so I’m trying to bring that down before my next test in mid June. I’ve switched my diet to low carb by cutting out bread, potatoes etc following...

Hi All, I’m new here having just had a second A1c test at 42. They weren’t consecutive so as yet I’ve not been tagged as predibetic, if possible I’d like to keep it that way. My previous 42 was last summer and the follow up was 40. I’m not really sure where to go from here. I saw a practice...
