    A question not just for the ladies!

    Hi @Contralto - that is just about what I wore! Luckily the wind died down during the match (what a cracker) and I was sheltered by large gentlemen either side. As usual, I was worried about nothing, sartorially-wise!

    Low-carb Diets Could Shorten Life, Study Suggests

    The Chorleywood process... As @bulkbiker's link shows, one of the biggest changes in bread-making ever seen, and not a good one. There is a small baker near me who has been baking bread to the same family recipe for 150 years and which uses only four ingredients. The bread is wonderful...

    One to watch!

    https://www.telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness/body/stay-fit-have-type-1-diabetes-like-england-rugbys-henry-slade/ Came across this article - good publicity for the website :) Apologies if T1 members have seen it before. A local lad playing for a local team :happy: and of course England!

    Graphic Content Reusing lancets: a cautionary tale.

    If you use a Fastclix then the lancet drum can be disposed of in household waste (the needles are held within the drum). I think that's the case with other drums. Have you tried Boots for a sharps bin collection, or perhaps a private collector rather than the Council?

    Fake Science vs. Real Science - are the gloves coming off?

    Slightly left-field, but this afternoon I was sitting at a table with seven others after donating blood and munching the goodies (yes, my illicit Club biccie!) and we got into a conversation about fats, cholesterol, corn syrup, etc. Every one of those people - a disparate bunch we were -...

    Yayyy!

    Awesome!!! That's a great read! :happy: Yeah, those drops..... Makes walking interesting, and I've had some funny looks from people passing me in the other direction!

    Medichecks Fasting Insulin

    At the risk of putting my head above the parapet, I think @Mr_Pot makes a valid point. To each his own and whatever helps to get you where you want to be, most definitely, but I sometimes wonder if people newly arrived at this Forum from a diagnosis are overwhelmed with charts, spreadsheets...

    1st HbA1c Result Post Diagnosis...Could Be Better!

    I second the important thing is the drop - it doesn't matter by how much, @ViolaChiri, it's in the right direction: everybody's body is different from everyone else's. Some have amazing reductions and then keep on steadily dropping; others have a great drop at first and then crawl, e.g me...

    Finding it tough (Part 2)

    @SlimLizzy's suggestion of raising your carb levels may help, @Patrick66. I wish there was something I could suggest for the emotional turmoil you find yourself in, but your mention of feeling very run down rang a bell with me (this is physically run down) - I went very low carb but since that...

    Lo-Dough a success

    Just had a look at the website and they mention pasties... I do miss a proper Cornish pasty: beef skirt, potato, swede, onion, lashings of pepper, salt, and in a proper shortcrust case, none of your puff stuff. Obviously the pasty is off the list, and perhaps the potato and swede...

    Meaning of carbohydrate "of which sugars"

    But then you have Cirencester. Which I have heard pronounced Srinster (shock horror!). But it's as it's spelt. And don't get me started on Cholmondeley Featherstonehaugh. Oh, and you can have rusks or toast, @SaskiaKC! If they don't spike you or are low-carb, go for it - I now have...

    As anyone got any breakfast ideas when you're on the go?

    I make a batch of these https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/keto-egg-muffins and take them to work, if travelling etc. I've even taken them on a walk (when it was cool - I'm not sure how they'd cope with the temps we had in the summer!). You can add all sorts of things to them and they...

    If we all Went for a Meal Out Together Where Would it Be?

    Here: https://www.summerlodgehotel.co.uk/ I'm paying* Apparently the dinners are fab and considering how much they charge, they can cater to all our requirements. (I'll get there one day....!) *This is a joke. :wideyed:

    Meaning of carbohydrate "of which sugars"

    Brilliant!! Thank you for posting that, @Antje77 - it will be winging its way to friends who live in Michigan. When they come over here they love the way we say things differently, Warrick and War-wick one of their favourites. And may I ask, do you actually sleep in that bed? Because...

    The Low-carb Diabetes Cookbook by Cavan and Porter

    Got it too - the super seeded bread is fab! I've tried the raspberry muffins too which were lovely and not too 'almondy'. After being given the Ultimate Book of Diabetic Cooking and finding there were hardly any suitable recipes (check out the Ultimate Smoothie!) I bought Cavan and Porter's...

    Gullon sugar free biscuits

    An excellent reason to eat dig bics then.... ;):D I used this https://www.amazon.co.uk/SELF-CHECK-AT-HOME-HbA1c-SYSTEM/dp/B07C7WHTTP/ref=sr_1_5_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1548844546&sr=8-5&keywords=hba1c+home+test+kit but it was a heck of a lot cheaper when I did. I see there are other testing kits...

    Few tips, any warnings with OMAD.

    I've also slipped into OMAD without really trying: coffee with cream through to early evening, with lots of water in between, and then a good meal, usually a dietdoctor recipe, veggies, berries and clotted cream. Sometimes a couple of Broghies or lc crackers and cheese too. Not hungry...

    You're welcome :) When I'm feeling a bit grumpy/fed up, I find that a good flinging-around to a Latin/salsa rhythm works a treat!
