Dear Mr Lidl,
Do you realise how many thousands of the growing number of type 2 diabetics in the UK totally rely on your protein rolls as the only bread they can eat? Four million people in the UK are estimated to be suffering from diabetes. Lidl protein rolls are famous and widely talked about...
Slice a Lidl Protein Roll horizontally with a large sharp knife to make four triangular "slices". Melt a knob of Lurpak garlic butter on a non-stick griddle (I use a Breville Panini Press which does both sides at once). Lay the slices on the melted butter for a minute or two until browning on...
Try this, its a brilliant hot, oat and cereal free, porridge and I love it. I make up a batch and just add whole milk and microwave for a couple of minutes.

Well done Robert! Stories like this, which pretty much mirror my own, just make me angry! The dietary advice givens to T2s over the last 20 years or more has clearly exacerbated if not caused the condition in so many if not all sufferers. Why oh why have they still not seen the light? My doctor...
Well my doctor was cautious and has recommended only a reduction in Metformin in stages with an HBa1C blood test once every three months instead of the usual six. Lisinopril is protecting the kidneys. Stopping statins and aspirin not a wise option apparently. I am encouraged by AtkinsMo's...
Thank you everybody all for your encouragement. "You have effectively reversed your diabetes" were the nurse's words not mine. I am under no illusions about what that means. Reversal is surely that you have, over a sustained period reversed the direction in which you were heading and...
As a school teacher all my life, I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes in 2005 at the age of 55. At 6'1" I was 14 stone which was slightly over weight but I have been that weight pretty consistently all my life. I followed the NHS dietary recommendations but my HBa1C got worse, and I was put on...
Having been T2 for over 10 years I was quite concerned when I gashed my shin earlier this year, taking a flap of skin down to the bone. I went straight round to the surgery and the nurse dressed it with a knee to toe bandage, to prevent swelling she said. Infection was the biggest danger...
BBC's Trust Me I am a Doctor showed that artificial sweeteners can raise you blood sugars levels as badly or worse than sugar but that stevia did not. I use soda water to which I add PLJ (Lime or Lemon). I sweeten it with a few drops stevia glycerite. With ice and a slice of lemon or lime its a...
