Thanks for your help [emoji1360]

Thanks, I will - starting next week as I’m going to see Peter Kay tomorrow night! I’m still planning on behaving, though it’s difficult when eating out, especially as I’m vegetarian.

Thanks for the welcome. And thanks for the advice - it makes a lot of sense.

Oh dear! The nurse did say it can cause diarrhoea and ‘wind’. Well I’m away for the weekend, so if I was going to consider it it won’t be until next week, but again I have lots going on . . . ‍♀️ I’ll start Monday to test pre & post food, and try to see what works for me and what doesn’t. Thanks...

I’ve just been low carbing for a little over a week, but I didn’t have a working monitor the whole time.

I recently had a HbA1c test - result 56. Nurse prescribed me Metformin (this was a phone call only, no follow-up or face to face, or advice, just a prescription) but I don’t want to take it. Instead, I have drastically cut my carbs and am determined to lose weight and hopefully take control...

I make my own broccoli salad. I’ll probably be told it’s all wrong, but any ingredients you don’t like/want can be exchanged - I made it up after all! I find this really delish with salmon steak, roast chicken -anything you fancy . . I use: Broccoli florets - chopped very small Sweet corn - I...

I understand that, and normally I don't tend to weigh very often. But I'm now looking at 5 weeks of at best, being static and at worst, gaining. It's very disheartening.

I got back on a low carb track on Jan 18th, and 6 weeks later I'd lost a stone. Brilliant! However, since then, I not only haven't lost any weight, I've now started putting it on! 3lb in the last week. I absolutely promise I'm having the same meals/food as I've been having since I started, and...

Okay, so I had to Google Oopsies. I now have a recipe which I'll try asap!

I had fresh tuna steak with salad for dinner last night - yum! I also made a little low carb microwave chocolate cake and had it with lemon yogurt and raspberries. Lovely at the time, but I woke up feeling yuck, and my glucose was 7.1. It only went down to 6.5 after a 4.5 mile walk. [emoji45]...

I don't have Word on my iPad mini. I can do all that on my Mac, but I don't want to print, I like taking my little iPad into the kitchen - it's my cookbook!

Yea Wildrover, but I have lots of bookmarks, so I've gone a bit complicated. I take a screen shot of a recipe, then email it to myself, then I've made a folder to keep them in under mailboxes. I'm sure there are better ways, but that works for me.

I have just had a lovely lunch made up of bits from the fridge - a few couchillon olives, chopped spring onions, half a small tin of tuna and two quartered cherry tomatoes. All mixed in a small dish and drizzled with a little salad cream. Lovely!

Hi all. Some fab recipes here - I'm trying to find ways of saving some of them to my iPad so I can give them a try. What I'm really looking for though, is a tasty recipe for low carb rich brown gravy! I've tried various low carb thickening agents with mixed results. Thought I'd ask here as...

Lol, she really didn't like me - and my crazy low carb ideas. Haven't heard from the surgery so hopefully her telling tales hasn't had any effect.

Oh please CollieBoy, knock yerself out!

Ah right. Thanks again Jack - mmol/l it is then. :)

Jack - the info you sent about the monitor said there's a choice of One reading in mmol/L and the other reading in mg/dL. I don't know which would be best, or why. Any tips?

Thanks Jack. I don't see low carbs as a temporary regime, but obviously when I reach my goal weight I know I'll need to adjust from a weight losing level. So the links are a great help - thanks again.
