Hey Fella That’s along the right lines. The carb content is the key.So 7.4g per 100g of peanut butter. If you can try to work down to say under 50g per day in total.Carbs are chains of sugar molecules so you are going to change the carbs into sugar once you scoff it. Low carb high fat reversed...

Hey and Hello I put my T2D into remission within 6 months mainly with LCHF. I agree with other posters in that some of what you are still eating is maybe not ideal.You probably need to completely change your thinking about what is healthy for you as it has just been turned on it’s head. Have a...

It is also a good idea to keep a food diary and note how a specific food impacts on your blood sugar levels. I would test before eating individual items and then after 1 hr and 2 hrs and then decide if it’s a keeper or it’s off the menu. But we are all different I can’t look at rice,disastrous...

Was in Asda the other day and they have Michelob Ultra which from memory is 2g of carbs per bottle.So you can have a couple without ruining your good work.I also would agree about clear spirits and diet mixers.Pork scratchings and nuts are good snacks as well as meat platters ie Salami or Parma...

Many of us who are type 2 have had great success with a low carb lifestyle.If you are type 2 it may be worth a try as it can lower sugars fairly quickly to around normal levels.Just be careful and use your meter to make sure you don’t go too low too fast.Many here eat to their meter so just take...

Kevin the best lancet is made by Accucheck and is called Fastclix.There was some discussion about this and there seems to be a general agreement that this is the best.The lancets are in a drum and it is adjustable for depth and therefore quite accurate. I use one myself in preference to the SD...

I think great advice has already been given regarding your readings and getting a meter.My personal experience is that both blood pressure and cholesterol readings both rapidly improved by strict low carbing.So as your BG level comes down it may be that with low carbs your cholesterol will...

Hey I'm with you on some toast with brekkie!! Unfortunatley for me white bread toasted is not great. However there are alternatives available in the UK. I'm not sure where you are? Livi life bread is a pretty good wholemeal prepacked loaf.But by far the best option are Lidl's High Protein Rolls...

Fantastic news,and very inspiring.So good to hear your retinopathy has improved.If I am honest that is my biggest fear in terms of complications down the line.
