Another question if you don't mind Bulkbiker. Do you do anything about the fibre when working out the carb count? Do you ever use net carbs?

Thanks everyone, I wasn't very clear in the OP I had worked out all the carbs but was getting different result. Bulkbiker had explained why very clearly thanks a lot. I wonder why the Americans don't just give carb count per 100g.

Pumpkin polenta - steam or boil pumpkin then beat in creme fraiche (or cream) and parmesan - yummy.

Hi All, Have just made a lovely batch of Orange and Pecan (actually walnut!) grain free granola from the ditchthecarbs website. When I came to count the carbs I get a very different result to the original recipe. My calorie count is very similar tho. My carbs have come up as half of what they...

Thanks

Has anyone tried the Granola recipe from the Vikki de Beer book? I'm sure I followed the recipe but it's been in the oven for far longer than she says and it's still wet? Just had some in yoghurt and it tasted great but definitely not Granola as I know it!

Because I'm an idle cow!!!:)

Thanks very much

Want to try a low carb pastry recipe from the Vikki de Beer book. She asks for 3tbs of husks, I've got ground? Would I change the amount does anyone think?

Hi all, Enjoying the lo carb cooking but getting through a heck of a lot of flax seeds and ground almonds. Where are you all (UK) buying for best value?

Just wondering how much people needed to alter their basal when going lower carb? On 8.5 Tresiba had 25 carbs for dinner which should have needed about 2U but was only on 5mm so waited. Dinner +2hrs 7.3 waited again dinner plus 5 hours 5.2. I'm assuming the basal brought it down. What would...

Hi All, New here but have enjoyed reading the posts and have learned a lot. My husband is type 1 (actually 3c learned that here) and got fed up with the constantly swinging BS so decided to give low carb a go. It's working well he's on about 40-50 carbs a day - about half of what he had before...

This is very interesting. My husband was diagnosed as terminal pancreatic cancer 18 years ago. We prepared for his imminent death. He was offered a drug trial to give him a bit longer so had a biopsy of the 'tumour' no tumour! Lying in his hospital bed he was bored and started to read the...

He says he feels fine. BG very raised this morning 18.7 after a normal breakfast that wouldn't usually cause a spike but was 2 hours after first higher dose of rivastigmine. Tonight 12.7 2 hours after taking drug and normal dinner same thing. Let's hope it doesn't happen again tomorrow.

Please let it not be the drug because he's definitely been sharper mentally since starting it.

Thanks for the reply Jaylee, he's early stage so I don't think what you're suggesting applies atm. Good thought tho.

Hi, Anyone out there on Rivastigmine for Alzheimers? My husband is and we're getting some v high BGs. 18.7 half an hour ago for no apparent reason? Anyone?
