    livilife and hilo bread

    It is bit expensive for a loaf. I am experimenting with coconut flour at the moment. The recipe uses 6 eggs, eggs white beaten separately gives the softness. Not bad. Better than not having a sandwich at all.

    Troubles with LCHF

    @akindrat18, you feel fine because you have not tasted and seen the spikes. Its like burying your head in the sand and thinks you are fine. If you eat like that (nobody's stopping you) do not get a shock at next HbA1c. Also it is progressive unless you reduce your carbs. There is a thread by...

    Herbal treatment of T2 diabetes

    I can swear by Bitter Melon tablets. I have eaten small piece of cake, two slices of bread and taken Bitter Melon which gives a small rise in BS levels. I was worried if manufactures had something added to the tablets as it reduced higher spikes greatly. So I stopped taking them.(besides I...
