I play around with fizzy water, adding fresh lemon sliced, cucumber, ginger root etc, it's not the same as a sugar hit, but it's very refreshing.

Cloud bread is a fab alternative. Whisk 2 egg whites with quarter tsp baking powder till stiff, fold gently into a mixture of the yolks and 2tbls of cream cheese, blob onto a baking sheet, bake at 170 for around 20 mins, cool and scoff! Repeat often [emoji3]

I read somewhere that it takes 3 days for carbohydrate toxicity to build up in the body. While I'm still losing I let myself have a treat every 3 weeks, something yummy and then straight back to lchf. I plan once I've reached my goal to let myself have a treat once a week, because if it's not...

I was the same for 30 years, no weight loss with pcos even with exercise and hardly eating anything. I changed to a lchf diet, so far I've lost 29lbs over 6 months, I couldn't lose a thing before.

So I've been low carbing for months, I lost an initial 20lbs and have been maintaining without much progress. That's not the point of this post, it's sadness really, I had a small nutty bar from a cafe after a strenuous walk, I've not had anything sugary/carby since December, my body pain had...

I had pcos, gestational diabetes twice, only able to conceive after 'ovarian drilling' - but metformin was in it's infancy 14 years ago for pcos. Finally progressed to T2 diabetes without any education. Now I'm educated about low carbing my hba1c has dropped (so far) from 65 to 43 - go low...

Just sent a pleading message for the 'roll return'! Hope it helps :)

I gave up smoking after 25 years in December, my gums started bleeding soon after and culminated in one morning my whole sink was red. After an emergency appointment at the dentist I was told that apart from T2 causing bleeding gums, the giving up smoking was probably the cause because there...

I'm another one, I walked away from being told I was diabetic and embarked on a 'healthy eating plan', the next blood test 6 months later said nothing had changed, so I got myself a meter and I've gone from 11's to 5-7's through having a visual aide. I just wouldn't have understood food/body...

I loved buttered toast, my neurons are firing excitedly just reading the word toast[emoji51]

Interesting, I knew something was up, I dropped 18lbs so fast and now absolutely nothing, it's disheartening especially as increasing my carbs will up my sugars. I am on max dose of metformin.

Thanks all for replying, I have an egg, cheese omelette with avocado for breakfast & black tea, for lunch tuna/mackerel, cheese, yogurt, mayo, olives lots of greens. Dinner steak/chicken/homemade burger etc, lots of broccoli, mushrooms, cheese, mayo. Water or black/cream tea. Food cooked in...

Hi all [emoji846], after two rounds of insulin dependent gestational diabetes, eight years later and a strong family history, I now join this family with T2. A disastrous 6 month blood test result when I thought I'd been following a sensible diet shocked me into getting a new glucose monitor...
