Hey guys, I've been managing my diabetes quite well, getting exercise, following a (fairly) low carb diet with occasional slip ups and everything has been fine. That is up until the last couple of days! Had a roast dinner earlier in the week and thought, I've been good so a couple of roast...

Hey all, I've decided to do a little bit of testing as I finally got round to applying the libre CGM yesterday evening. It's apparently good for 2 weeks so I'm going to take the opportunity to test a few regular foods to see how I react so I know what to avoid completely. I've been almost...

I've read a couple of times that keto chefs sandwich loaf is a pretty decent low carb bread. Can anyone vouch for it? I'm getting sick of the carnivorous diet and the only thing I used to really eat was sandwiches or toast. I've tried with the Warburton's milk roll but at 8.3g carbs per slice...

Google appears to be a huge source of misinformation regarding diabetes. Many pages I read tell a difference story about what "normal" levels should be. I decided to test myself last night, I've been very good with carb free stuff for several weeks and bg has been around 5.6 - 6.0 I hadn't...

Are big companies missing a trick here or is it really that difficult? I have read articles and watched numerous videos of people producing their own low carb foods that emulate regular daily products that non diabetics enjoy such as bread, biscuits (cookies if you're American lol) cakes...

I received a letter a couple of weeks ago inviting me to this self management course. They are offering me the online "MyDESMOND" course. I've read a few threads on the forum with mixed reactions to the course. I'm not sure if I feel the need for it myself if I can get basically the same advice...

I've been trying a few recipes for low carb alternatives to regular foods such as bread. This is main one as until my diagnosis I had no idea how much my diet relied on the stuff!! I've tried a few different recipes including 90 second breads, 2 and 3 ingredient chaffles & a waffle style almond...

So as many of you know I started on metformin a couple of weeks ago and received lots of amazing advice from people here. I have ditched most carbs, just have sugar and milk in my coffee and there are a couple of foods with a few grams of carbs. I'm not really losing weight but I didn't expect...

So one of the reasons I went to the doctor for a blood test was because my optician suggested it due to my eyesight deteriorating rapidly. I was told I needed new glasses for distance where 2 years ago my vision was almost perfect. They stated that it was illegal for me to drive without glasses...

As mentioned in other posts I've been prescribed Metformin. I was told by the doctor that I would possibly have an upset stomach with them. I thought, yeah yeah, just reeling off typical side effects! I'm never normally affected by these with any other medication I'm on. Well.............. My...

So in my introduction I admitted to being a bit of a fussy eater. There are plenty of things I can eat that won't cause me problems but there are other foods that I'm not sure I can find alternatives to. For example, breakfast cereals. I like a variety of them, some which I believe are ok for...

Hi, I had a phone call this morning from my doctor, further call expected this afternoon. I have apparently been diagnosed diabetic and I'm waiting to find out more from my GP. This is very new to me as nobody I knew growing up was diabetic and anyone I encountered during my adult life who was...
