I’m very sorry for the super low carb people, at least I can manage with some at the moment at least

I know from testing that I can tolerate wholemeal but not white bread at all or baguette. A Shredded Wheat is fine for me if a bit boring as I can’t do bacon and egg every morning, and I am supporting us all on a pension now. I don’t need to lose weight.

I’m intrigued that I’ve got so much response, of many different flavours. I’m just trying to do what works for me and what avoids spikes, I can’t do eggs every day but do stay 8 with one shredded wheat whereas my previous Oat Crisp low sugar pushed 14 plus

No just doing herself on my meter with her own lancets. Her measurements are not good but mendable with weight loss whilst mine is due to Pancreatitis so probably not reversible.

I cooked myself a carb free apart from carrot, steak casserole, and was then asked how many potatoes I wanted with it. None was my answer.

That could be a factor indeed.

She’s only prediabetic as she is 35kg overweight and has been for 25 years.

Oh for crying out loud, just cooked a batch of beef casserole up, it has carrots, mushrooms. half a red pepper in, just need some greens. How many potato’s do you want with that. Err none, I’ll have a bit of wholemeal bread thanks. Note to self need to get some more Lidl Protein Rolls in.

Good old fashioned shredded wheat works for me

Haha I wish. Both my boys are September so I call myself Santa, only gets to come once a year.

It’s early days, I’ll give it a month. I have IBS anyway so anything which irritates the gut is not a happy blend. I just take a loperamide if I’m going out most times. I had to run back to the Clubhouse from the third tee as my guts were rumbling last week.

Hi Mike, I’m on 2000mg slow release , I have changed to taking it once a day and would like to cut it back if I can, I haven’t even got a GP appointment after my review, just a Pharmacist and they are really tight on Blood tests too. So I might just try reducing on my own and see how the tests...

Thank you. She thinks because my bloods are all good now that I can relax a bit, but HBa1c at 48 is on the edge, and I’d prefer to reduce the Metformin if I can.

Well I’m on day 3 of taking both pills in the evening. Day 1 was not a success, horrible gut pains and diahorrea, but it seems to be easing and hopefully it will improve with more days.

Thank you all for your comments and ideas, it helped me as it took me down after what had been a good few days. I think she thought she’d got us a treat as my son and his gf were eating with us, she wouldn’t touch them and my son tried a bit and didn’t like it, he also stuck up for me after my...

When she said she was going veggie I despaired as yet another thing we didn’t have in common any more. But since she’s become an Elephant campaigner ( which I agree with ) she’s been indoctrinated. So far she loves cheese too much to go vegan, as vegan ‘cheese’ is foul.

Thank you. I only buy quality meat, free range chicken, wild salmon steaks. I buy local whenever I can and free range eggs.

Yes I can cook, I have a load of stewing steak from Costco to make a batch from.

I can’t eat sweet things any more, and don’t usually do puddings, I have frozen fruit and Greek Yoghurt in the fridge which I have for brekkies when I’m bored of eggs.

No she has her own lancets from mine. We’ve been married 30 years and have 2 kids so there is probably little we haven’t shared
