    Food ideas for even lower carbing

    I never saw the point of chicken wings, until we bought an airfryer. I also like chicken thighs air fried. Sprinkling them with lemon pepper makes for very tasty, easy dish. If you like Tandoori, this is is super, super easy and very, very tasty. The original recipe is for lamb chops, but...

    Clotted cream.

    Donna - I wonder if your Doctor was thinking of squirty cream? Most of those have sugar added, although the Anchor Extra Thick variant doesn't have sugar added, unless I am mistaken. Enjoy your clotted cream. It's delightful.

    Carnivore Corner

    He uses the butter to age it? We just buy from the aging cabinet at the butcher. When I was in, topping up (as y'do), yesterday, they had French Trimmed Prime Rib on offer for NY at £12.49kg down from £15.49kg. I didn't indulge, as it wasn't quite so aged as the lump we had last week...

    More Air Fryer yum

    If you like belle pork, try Moo Grob. The recipe calls for boiling first. Well, I never boil, but sometimes lob it into IP, to cover off the boiling time. It's delicious, provided there's a bit of oil there to prevent drying out. Any seasonings you like - chilli, lemon pepper, garlic and...

    We're not toooo far from you, so we went large today, and joined the T4 massiiiive. It's not a fab feeling for sure, even though for boring only bods like us, it doesn't make a massive difference to how we live our lives. It's just nice to have a few more choices. A relative of mine had day...

    Time to come back to the fold

    @jpscloud - I often remark that the forum has a revolving door. Folks arrive, then some leave and do their own thing - sometimes for the better, and sometimes it doesn't go too well. This time of year, and the coming weeks usually sees a fair number of returners, and they will be welcomed and...

    Peripheral neuropathy at low weight

    You mention you have a low thyroid? Vitamin deficiencies are very common in hypothyroid patients; particularly, although not exclusively those with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. You may not even know whether or not you have Hashi's as patients aren't always told. Whilst your bloods may be in...

    Peripheral neuropathy at low weight

    Hi there - When you had your bloods done, did they look at your vitamins and wider blood results? The reason I ask is some deficiencies can cause nerve pain, and tingling. An example being Vitamin 12. Not tall neuropathy is caused by diabetes, and I can get on my hobby-horse about that topic...

    New meter very different results to old meter

    To be honest, @woolgal if your meter and strips are being funded by your GP, then it's likely worth taking a view on what the average difference is and work with a bit of a mental correction as you goi along, then have a prompt A1c to sense check the approach. This time of the year, with varied...

    Ingrown toenail

    Dee, please make contact with your GP. You may be able to send him photos of the toe for an initial assessment. Nobody should ignore infections on their feet, and this is amplified for those living with diabetes, where things can get complex quickly. Fingers crossed for you, but much better...

    Does your neighbourhood have a FB page, or Nextdoor page? If you do, it could be worthwhile asking if anyone has received your parcel, in error. Couldn't do any harm, I'm guessing. Sooooo annoying though!

    What did Santa leave for you?

    My latest addition is 300 snowdrop bulbs, in the green, to be delivered in a couple of weeks. That'll keep me out of mischief, getting those planted.

    Mei, on our village FB page, there have been a number of reports of this sort of thing, but there have also been reports whereby, once the photo of the front door threshold is examined, it's not the correct door? Is the photo definitely your front door, and not something similar? The expectant...

    "What have you eaten" Parallel Chat

    We have a couple of excellent charity shops locally, and one of them has a lady of my dimensions, who appears to favour quality brands. How lucky is that? We do try to support the shops by donating too, but sometimes it feels like I pay to donate (as something catches my eye)!

    "What have you eaten" Parallel Chat

    @Sugarlisa - so as not to derail the other thread, I thought I'd tag you here. Those clothes being a bit big must be frustrating and pleasing in equal measure. I must admit when I lost weight after diagnosis, I had a number of things from charity shops, as things settled -else it costs a...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Standing tall, my full magnificence is 1.60/5'2", 49kg. Trousers size 6, and tops 6/8, so no Amazonian genes for me. :( Being all would be so wonderful.

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Actually I lied, I added about a tablespoon of orange juice as a not to sweetness, so that added to the (still well under 250ml) liquids. I made it Christmas Eve afternoon, and just reheated in the already on oven on the day - dish covered by foil. I thought we'd have a lot left over as MrB...
