    Strange sensations in feet

    Hi, I get that too. I get no pain in my feet but I get a wide variety of sensations. Numbness,vibration/trembling,hot or cold feelings,crawling feeling,itchy sometimes,pins and needles. Also in my toes and the bottom of my feet. It's definitely worse when my sugar is high. It does improve...

    Ice Cream (trivial question)

    Yes I had that diabetic ice- cream and spiked to 10.5 so it wasn't very diabetic friendly in my case.

    Atkins bars

    I actually quite like them especially the peanut and caramel one and the hazelnut one. I find they dont spike me either,maybe because they put so much fibre in them. Yes the ingredients aren't healthy but then when you get a sweet treat you dont normally expect it to be healthy.Pre diagnosis I...

    skin conditions and unhelpful GP's

    A few years ago I was getting boils all the time, under my arms,down below. It was disgusting, but at that time I didnt realise I was diabetic and my blood sugar was sky high.I couldn't get rid of them and even with antibiotics they soon came back. Since I was diagnosed I mostly followed a low...

    Lidl High Protein Low Carb Rolls

    Tried these rolls about 2 weeks ago and I spiked to 9 one night and in the 10's the next. So I gave them one more try tonight with egg mayo and I only got to 6.5. :) Happy about that because they are delicious!

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    I think you're right Gezzabelle,half a roll and butter. I have come off a period of extremely low carb so maybe I am pushing my luck with a whole roll. I will try again with half tomorrow......... here's hoping :)

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Ok let us know what result you get tomorrow.I think I will wait a couple of days,2 spikes in a row is more than enough for now.I can feel my feet reacting already:(. Hopefully you do well with it second time around too.

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Wow Brunneria...... I am so jealous. I had high hopes and it was fantastic to have a roll but I knew it spiked me quite quickly,I could feel it and my glucose meter confirmed.I can't think why.I have sometimes eaten things with higher carbs and didn't get that reaction. Maybe I should smother it...

    You are lucky Gezzabelle.I tried those lidl rolls 2 nights in a row with a burger.I did this to confirm the first nights result because I couldn't believe it.First night I spiked to 9.3,tonight to 10. I didn't spike that much with the occasional slice of burgen seeded bread.So disappointed...

    What are your diabetes management goals for the next 3 months and how will you achieve it?

    Lose my last stone and a half finally. Get my Hba1c below 5.8% by September. Be able to eat the odd carb,bread or cake ,occasionally without spiking. Plenty exercise,perhaps ND to finish it off or maybe intermittent fasting added to my LCHF

    Which one do you recommend?

    I use Codefree too because of their cheap strips and I don't have problems with it.
