I have had every blood test imaginable done between my GP and Endo - there is no clear explanation for how **** I feel! The Rheumatologist is last hope for me to get some answers....

Hi @smurphyuk - I wondered the outcome of seeing the Rheumatologist? I am T1D (LADA), have psoriasis and Hashimoto's. I am currently experiencing the EXACT same symptoms as you have described. My GP reckons I have psoriatic arthritis :( I see a Rheumatologist in 2 weeks but the pain and aches...

Hahahahaaha - I am well travellled!!! You can't even take fruit from state to state! And I have seen Border Security! lol

Thanks Dave!! I am very well aware of the Aus border rules - I have been coming to Scotland every year for the past 10 years :) I know what to eat and yes there are actually more choices of low carb and healthy alternatives in Aus. I run healthy cooking classes for kids in Melbourne and all my...

Hello! I am visiting Scotland from Australia and would love to buy some exciting products to take home with me that we don't get in Aus. I am Type 1 and have been overindulging in carbs since arriving in Scotland (because we have such amazing carb loaded food!!) but want to get on track with a...

I buy online from iHerb - not sure if it's Australian though....

What time are you talking about? Try some protein like ham or cheese or a greek yogurt even....

Thanks @Kristin251 - yes I think I eat an avocado a day anyway! I love them :) Think I need to do the testing 2 hours after although may be too early for that as my BS is still really high - so of course it's going to be high anyway.

I am only a week diagnosed so still working out what the hell I'm doing! lol I would basically say I am LCHF and I have just eliminated all carbs in the morning and only have 1 slice of bread at lunch because I have cut everything else (pasta, potato, some veg, most fruits and all sugar products).

NO! I can't lose weight!! I'm only 42kgs and 5 foot 2! lol lol

Thanks @ziggy_w! Yes, I am very lucky here in Australia as we have an abundance of amazing Japanese restaurants and selection of fish at the markets for sashimi - which was already my fav cuisine so no probs there! Infact, I think I consumed more sashimi than sushi anyway :) Also love miso soup...

Whats your thoughts on the Sugar Free Chocolate Bars and the High Protein/Low Carb Bars? I have a few of them and loved them - low carbs is like 1.1g! I think these "should" be better than the normal ones right??

Here are some of the things I have been snacking on - Cheese! Any kind because I love it! ;) Tomatoes, Avocados, Carrots, Edamane Soup Eggs Sugar Free Cookies, Sugar Free Chocolate or High Protein Low Carb Bars i.e. Atkins Bars Dips on Low GI bread Tuna Coffee or Tea Cold meats - turkey, ham...

****! Things you miss living away from the UK!

I find this fascinating as I am starving in the morning!! I couldn't contemplate missing breakfast. I need my eggs!! Or is this a sign my BS are still too high? My BS are still above 12 mmol/l in the morning.

Yes! i love to experiment with food! Problem right now is that I am trying so hard to get my sugars down that I actually can't think about food right now - so focused on what I can and can't have right now :( I actually didn't eat too much pasta and potatoes - it's mainly rice and sushi rice I...

Thanks Indy51 :) Yeah that's what I was thinking about Pete Evans, Lola Berry and the likes......I was looking at a Diabetes cookbook in Target today and some of the recipes were 42g carbs in 100g! WOW!! So it got me thinking about what cookbooks would be good to get. I'm pretty good at...

Hi All! Advice please...... I am newly diagnosed DT2 and following a low carb diet (not high fat as I have high cholesterol). I was wondering if anyone has compared any other diets to the low carb diet as an alternative? The reason I ask as there are heaps of resources online and in recipe...

Thanks for the replies - I am on the SR Metformin tablets. So I'll see how they go with the low carb diet.
