Oh my goodness, how scary! Did you figure it was the mango?

Interesting about the salad stuff as I have a fridge draw full of salad stuff, like organic lettuce which is why I was thinking of making smoothies with it cos I’m not sure about lettuce in soup haha

My nutri bullet is my best friend as I make all my own nut milks! I tend to use a hand held stick blender for my soups as I can blend as much or as little as I want, I like a lumpy soup so don’t blend it much. I’ve got arthritis in my hands so can’t do a lot of chopping………did you mean...

I did wonder about this, I don’t eat much fruit and wasn’t going for a fruit based smoothie, I think I may stick to homemade soups as I can see what’s going in that and then blend them somewhat.

Yes, I like mash so maybe I can try more mashed things…..unfortunately I can’t eat dairy but I do get the idea of putting in extra stuff for a more nutrient dense meal……

I do make lots of soups so maybe I will blend them instead….I was just looking at your signature and I have lots of the same illnesses as well, I think my jaw problem is osteoarthritis or fibro…..I’ve lost 3st by eating carefully and low carb, I’d like to lose another stone but I seem to be...

Has anyone got some diabetic friendly smoothie recipes please? Or is that an oxymoron lol. I try to eat lots of veg but I’m having jaw problems so I’m looking for something easy to eat….thanks

I'm diet controlled

Exactly! I think its cos of the risk of hypoglycemia, which is interesting for me, never had this problem before this, so unsure how to tackle this gently.......I do feel the effects of very low blood sugar but I certainly don't want to eat or drink something that would raise my levels...

Ive just got my blood test results back and my HbA1c is 38, and it says I should aim for a target 48 mmol/mol....... Anyone heard of this? Ive been on low carb diet for a while and lost nearly two stone (one more to go) and am eating a ton of veg, some protein and some carbs, very little fruit...

Having hypothyroidism unfortunately slows your metabolism, so it's always harder to lose weight, but it is possible! I find the only way i can lose weight, albeit very slowly, is to eat low carb. Having an underactive thyroid does predispose us to being overweight generally.

Aaaah.... Thought that was my name on my profile haha

I've looked on my profile and I don't see 'insulin dependant' or 'Banghead' lol

I have been using My Life Pura which the doc gave me, but because I am so well controlled they won't give me any more strips! I found Code free was giving me results 2 thingy below the My Life and the Accu Chek I had before, so if it was 6, Code free said it was 4.........I threw the Codefree...

I've never had insulin in my life! I was on Metformin initially but am now diet controlled only, thanks to being careful with my carbs and testing my blood.

I'm type 2 diet controlled, but I can't get monitoring strips from doc anymore, I know my sugar is high cos my eyes get blurry and feet burn..... I've not had good results with Code free, so I want to buy a good monitor, any recommendations please.

This probably sounds silly, but I've been on a strict elimination diet for the last 3 weeks, for inflammation and weightloss. It's very low on carbs, and just lately I've been getting hypoglycaemia symptoms, but I just tested my blood and it was 4.4. I ate some chicken and veg maybe an hour ago...

Hi, years ago I bought a codefree blood glucose meter, at the time there was a code for buy two get one free test strips. Do they still do this and does anyone have the code? I've lost my meter, so I need to buy a new one and Codefree have the cheapest strips at £7.99 for one pack and the...

Thanks for that, I will buy a thermometer and start taking my temperature! I will let you know how I get on, I'm hoping to get a glass thermometer, I'm not sure that they are still sold though.
