I've not been on here for a while and apologies for hijacking this thread, but my query is similar to the OP. Apologies for the long post too! My partner had a very similar experience to @Jim Lahey when they rapidly got their HBA1C down from over 100 to 41 in 6 months. Almost 4 years since...

@Rachox I keep meaning to ask you, why just two cherry toms? Are you particularly sensitive to them?

Evening all B: Lemon chia with almonds L: Cold frittata, salad leaves, olives, avocado. D: Baked chicken in a spicy yoghurt marinade, avocado, cucumber, tomatoes, lime and coriander salad, gnom-gnom's Keto tortilla. Decaf coffee.

Happy Birthday @ianpspurs! Like you said, all the best people have birthdays in June! For the avoidance of doubt, the hug was to commiserate sharing your birthday with Bojo! Autocorrect wanted to change that to Bono for some reason, but unsure if you find him a more desirable birthday twin.

I've been meaning to say the same and dreading the clean up job afterwards! :hilarious:

I'm not trying to scare anyone. I said that floaters are not usually something to worry about, but a sudden increase can sometimes indicate a more serious problem (like @Dark Horse has also said). The OP has asked for advice and I am trying to be helpful here. We're all on the same page - e.g...

My favourite is the Nigel Slater one: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2011/feb/27/nigel-slater-classic-celeriac-remoulade

Just realised I posted this too soon earlier and have posted twice! I'll edit this one!

Hello everyone B: Lemon chia pudding with almonds. Black coffee. L: Sliced turkey, pastrami, emmental, celeriac remoulade, avocado and tomato. D: Frittata (mushroom and bacon), asparagus and green beans. Very small slice of birthday cake. Decaf coffee. @shelley262 Wishing you a speedy...

Yes, floaters can happen to anyone and aren't necessarily a sign that something is wrong. Indeed, I have one in my left eye and I'm not diabetic. However, in the context of a recent diagnosis, significant changes in BG levels and sudden changes in vision (floaters or otherwise), it would be...

If you're in any way concerned, get your eyes checked. Like others have said, retinopathy can worsen on improved blood glucose control and it usually stabilises However, in some cases, where there is a rapid change, there can be an escalation and treatment might be needed. My husband ended up...

Thank you @maglil55 and @Goonergal. @DJC3 Just found the photo of Dennis......he's adorable!

Thank you @DJC3 and @ianpspurs for the birthday well wishes. The cake went down very well indeed. Just a relief to get through our birthdays with no health crisis this year. @DJC3 I'm dying to see photos of your new pup...I'll have to check out you other posts.

I'm back after being AWOL for a while. We have had a lovely birthday week (our birthdays are 5 days apart), including a few days in North Wales. Back with a bump today, as Mr B had his Eye Hospital appointment, but all was well this time. Injection in the left eye today which is still...

I'm not vegan (used to be veggie many moons ago), but I'm open to eating more plant based meals. I follow @modernfoodstories on Instagram and I think most (if not all) her recipes are vegan or have vegan versions. I've not tried any of her recipes yet, but they look delicious...

You're doing great! We're not strictly Keto and started gradually to begin with. We started at around 100g of carbs to begin with, then reduced to less than 50g. It's now rare that we're over 30g often closer to 20g, when I do a proper check. The weight has dropped off me too (I'm not...

Sounds lovely, I need to try this and use it for a Moscow Mule. ☺️

Lovely day out in Bakewell today. It felt odd not to leave with the obligatory Bakewell Pudding (definitely not tart!), breaking with a tradition of over 15 years. I might just have to try and master a LC version now! We had a lovely (but eye wateringly expensive) coffee in an Austrian coffee...

Most supermarkets do a sugar free / diet Ginger Ale. Found this though......https://thethingswellmake.com/homemade-ginger-ale-sugar-free-paleo/

I'd also add to this that it is worth making sure you are counting net carbs rather than gross carbs. I was alarmed at first to discover a medium avocado according to My Fitness Pal was 12.8g of carbs! I couldn't work out why they were a Keto staple! I then worked out this was gross carbs and...
