    Latest Hba1c

    Latest Hba1c = 39, another 2 point drop. So, after just over a year I've gone from 92 to 43 to 41 to 39. Been on 1 500mg metformin SR per day since last post and over period of this reading. Generally eating well with LCHF with occasional treats and occasional beer, but more likely red wine or...

    Lidl HP rolls - call to arms!

    Hola from Spain. Arrived for our normal holiday in this part of the world, swept into local Lidl (Fuengirola) and Hallelujah they stock protein rolls (or panecillo fitness as they are called here). Will enjoy a couple of weeks of these and see how many we can fit in our hand luggage for home...

    Why Eat Carbs As A Type 2 Diabetic?

    I joined this forum fairly soon after diagnosis, seeking advice, support, and a place to get things off my chest after the shock of that diagnosis, from people who have been in the same situation. Everyone who responded to my posts I found to be supportive without being prescriptive, though have...

    Type 2 Low carb

    Hi @Lucy_Betts_ I have two dessert spoons of full fat Greek yoghurt, topped with mixed seeds (from Lidl, sunflower, pumpkin, linseed & sesame seed), pine nuts and ground cinnamon. Has a nice crunch and cinnamon adds a bit of flavour. I reckon about 6g of carbs in total. Worth a try. But then I...

    THE PLEASURE OF BEING ABLE TO WALK

    Brilliant @Viv0147 I'm sure that will serve as inspiration to lots of people. Thanks for sharing. (A bit jealous that you get to walk along a promenade every day. Beats my 1.6 miles round trip to train station :))

    Latest Hba1c

    Hi all, Not been on for a while as been putting off Hba1c following a holiday seeing my brother in Australia over Christmas, which was lower carb than last time, but not exactly best behaviour. Anyhoo - Diagonised Sept 17 with Hba1c of 92, got that down to 43 in December test, with LCHF diet...

    What about this?

    9 inch diameter. Shared 1 for pizza lunch. Had a whole one for a pizza evening meal (on different days, obviously :) ) Probably smaller than a "small" pizza from your normal pizza places - bit of google-ising suggests 10" is a small in Domino's / Papa John's.

    What about this?

    @derry60 I've tried them, and whilst expensive they make a decent, nice and thin pizza base. I used it for home made pizza for my son and me (he's not diabetic ) as something we can share. As you say sometimes you just want the same as rest of family. I've got a few in cupboard on standby. They...

    Lidl high protein roll

    I had started to go off lidl protein roles, but recently had peanut butter on the roll and completely changed flavour, for the better. Tend to have them once or twice a week, with chicken and salad leaves or ham, cheese and salad leaves. Also experimented with hovis low carb bread. I found a...

    Lo-dough?

    My mistake. They are 2.2g carb per piece, 7.9g per 100g. Had it as a wrap today. Tried one half raw and half browned. Better when browned. Ok as a wrap but nothing special and certainly not worth the money. If fathead doesn't work for me though I'll just get these for the occasional pizza as I...

    Lo-dough?

    Tried it today, having bought a trial pack of 2 for £5. Made a nice light pizza base. Took their advice and gave it a quick browning in the frying pan (almost dry fry really with spray oil) before cooking pizza in the oven. Was nice to have pizza after a long time and low carb at that.1 bread...

    Newly Diagnosed - Doctor says Meds forever..

    Thanks all. Appreciate the feedback. Saw doctor today and she relented and said I can come off statins. She said they're given as a precautionary for diabetes patients, but she relented.Fair play to her. She told me her reasons for keeping statins but listened to my concerns. Tick. She then said...

    Lidl High Protein Rolls

    Have to say I do find these a good bread fix, and don't raise BG by any great degree, but for me they have to be really fresh and I don't really like them toasted. They seem a bit more dense and cakey when over a couple of days old or toasted. We're all different I suppose. :) My local Lidl...

    Newly Diagnosed - Doctor says Meds forever..

    Thanks everyone. @bulkbiker I've not seen Dr yet, just got results from the admin people. Seeing doc next week. @ringi To be honest if I can get off the Metformin I will, but I would need to be sure that I can control with diet. At minimum I will be aiming to reduce and get another hba1c in a...

    Newly Diagnosed - Doctor says Meds forever..

    Morning all. Went to doctors last week as had underlying nausea since upping Metformin and wasn't happy with neck ache - my suspicions lie with statins there, and watching Dr Sultan's video last week convinced me even more. I was due Hba1c in mid-dec, but Dr said get it done now and we can...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Dinner, my 'invention', my lovely wife's cooking. The "Shroom Blue Burger Stack" (copyright Mark H) is layered as follows: Flat mushroom, melted Dolcellate Cheese, burger, fried onions, and a plum tomato on top. Delicious, and I believe low-carb? Side of fried egg. (The fluid is mainly mushroom...
