Hi, I wondered what others advice is on these: 1. As a type 2 for over 10 years and living alone what food items should I stock up on? If I didn't have to avoid carbs I'd do what all non diabetics are doing/will do....stock up on carbs pasta rice bread etc. We can't do that...I don't have a...

Hi , anywhere I can buy cauliflower/low carb pizza bases in the UK? Doing it from scratch is too much hassle for me. Ready made, frozen or whatever bases is what I want....just add the toppings and oven :)

Hi, Recently, I seemed to have lost weight without trying, but as I didn't have a scale at home I wasn't sure of what change had occurred. Others commented that I've lost weight and my trousers/clothes gave me a hint that I've lost some weight which I'm not sure can be explained. Anyway, doc...

Hi, I had my annual diabetes blood test. I got 48 for my Hbac1...that's ok isn't it? But apparently while everything else came back as normal I was told my "blood count" is showing as abnormal. And the doctor has asked me to do another blood test for the blood count in 6 weeks time. What does...

Hi all, I'm a night owl, stay up late. Have my dinner early on in the evening around 7pm...by the time it's midnight I'm hungry. My problem is I can't really think of low carb or no carb snacks to eat at that time. I inevitably end up having some sort of carb based deliousness :( like a cheese...

Hi, I'm kind of doing the low carb diet and seems to work the best for me. Although I'm not super strict, but do the best I can. Anyway, I have a few questions about desserts: 1. I have found some low carb dessert recipes...are those ok for me to eat? 2. I don't follow the whole sweetner...

Hi, I recently read Dr Bernsteins book and seems to make a lot of sense. Anyway, point is whenever I cut out the carbs I get much better results. So it seems to be the way forward...however I'm a single 35 yr old dude....and seeing all these written in text recipes with ingredients I'm not...
