Hello. 8 weeks type 2 and following a low carb lifestyle and I feel so much better. I’m controlling my levels. Today was a difficult day foodwise and I gave in to fish and chips from the chip shop - then a couple of hours later chocolate Took bloods to see how bad I’d been affected. Pre 6.5 1...

Haha. Deary me. I can relate to what you’re saying and the experiences you’ve had. But I’m determined to still do stuff. There needs to be more out there for us to eat. I might tag Jamie Oliver and see what he can do. He hates sugar [emoji3]

Hello art deco mum. It’s such a roller coaster having to deal with a condition that needs so much attention. I would love to just eat what I want and not have to think about it so much. I purposely didn’t tell a colleague who had it because I knew she would prescribe things based on her own...

It was all laid out in front of me saying look at me! It’s strange in my diet days I’d have said ach I’ll use my saved up calories fir the week. Thing is I can’t cheat on this. I have to say though the low carbs/good carb sort of stops the craving so it’s almost been easier than a diet! Jeez...

Hi there. I’ve found Alpro simply plain very nice over berries . 2.1g of carbs per 100g of which 2.1 is sugars. 2.3g fat and only 0.4 of it is the saturated stuff . Yum [emoji3]

When I wasn’t diabetic I just never noticed all the sugar around - or I did but it didn’t pose the same threat . Who knew going fir a coffee and a nibble would be so limiting. Ach well Americano and a smile it is [emoji3]

Thanks fir the welcome. I’m like a sponge reading through everything just now. I’m doing the lifestyle change bit first with the hope that I may not have to go on meds (although it may be inevitable [emoji848]). Based on the info I’m getting here I’m keeping within the right levels apart from...
