Thank you, we have just got home and had my last naughty meal, son had left us some of his pizza. Testing just to see but back on the straight and narrow tomorrow.

Hi Folks Well I am now about 4 months in, I have been following a fairly low carb WOE and have lost approx 24lb (fluctuates). Just preparing to leave Kalkan,Turkey where we have been on holiday for the last 10 days so don't know where my weight is sitting at the moment. I haven't been really...

Yep that is exactly what I am doing, I eat breakfast at work but that can be anything from 8:30am to 10:30am and have a ten minute walk at 10:30am, then lunch about 12:00 and a 30 min walk straight after, dinner varies but walk is normally within the 90 min window from start of eating as that is...

Tbh I could quite happily go until dinner time without eating but I thought your blood sugars rose when you didn't eat.

Okay so I admit haven't been the best at logging on MFP but for the most part breakfast and lunch have been the same, dinner has been low carb except for experiment on Wed where I tried the Jason Fung suggestion of cooking pasta twice because apparently it causes less of a rise in BG. I still...

Thank you for your responses, I seriously doubt I have done enough to build muscle, if I have I can't find it under the blubber. I am an almost 55 year old woman who is at least 5 stone overweight for my height of 5'8". My walking has increased from approx 3 - 5k steps to 10- 14k steps per day...

Hi I have been LCHF since 30th April and have lost just under 9lb, now I know people say you shouldn't weigh yourself every day but I do, I have fitbit scales and just pop on them every morning first thing. I am a little disheartened because I truly expected to see a dip today but have weighed...

To be honest as much as I would rather not be diabetic, it has given me a kick up the backside and I am going to get rid of the weight which has caused the problem in the first place. I just want to get back my BG levels back to non diabetic range so that on occasion (special) if I want a slice...

What I don't understand is how they can diagnose you on an average taken over three months, I fully confess to being seriously out of control with the sweet stuff in the run up to my getting my monitor. However, surely the sure fire test is a glucose test which measures how you body reacts to...

When I mentioned it on the phone she said I needed carbs and eating fat was no good because fat turns to sugar in the body, hence I don't have high hopes of getting on with the DN!

I think they will say that the 1st test was a fluke and class me as pre-diabetic because the DN wanted the second test to confirm the first but obviously it doesn't.

So I had my blood tested a couple of weeks ago and the result was 54, I have been following a low carb (ish) diet since the 30th April so a week or so before the blood test (taken around the 8th/9th May I believe). DN requested that I repeat the test within two weeks for a confirmation. The test...

Sugar free jelly probably does have sweeteners and tbh I should have diluted the jelly a little more than I did, I only added 10floz of water to the jelly crystals. I did't wash my hands but I did brush my teeth and then rinse the toothbrush out so they did get wet but not soaped.

It was lovely, however, now I am just about to go to sleep and have tested again. When I got back from my walk I had a snack of sugar free jelly mixed with mascarpone cheese, only a small amount but my this was a couple of hours or so ago. My BG is now 7.1, is this due to the jelly or is it...

I am having double cream with my breakfast, usually 30g each raspberries and blackberries and 30ml cream.

Update my results were as follows 5.0 Before Dinner 6.1 1 hours post dinner 6.4 1.5 hours post dinner 5.7 2 hours post dinner Quite pleased with that, counting that as a good meal even though I haven't quite dropped back to 5.0.

I keep reading different variations on when you should test post dinner, am I looking for the spike at it's height or just to see if it is back to pre-dinner reading after two hours. Tonight, pre dinner 5.0, Dinner was Roasted everything, chicken, cauliflower (Buffalo Bites), celery, red...

Hi what is the brand of jelly you use, I have made a mousse with Hartley's sugar free jelly and mascarpone. Just wondering if there is a better jelly out there. Thanks
