Okay LC bakers, can anyone tell me why the carb count so much across different brands of coconut flour? I'm really quite confused and perplexed . These are some of the scores on the doors per 100g for the brands I found on Ocado: Groovy Food 16g :D Daylesford 20.8g:D Tiana 21.7g:D Coconut...

Every Easter we treat ourselves to a ridiculously indulgent Easter egg. It has become a tradition and isn't something we plan to change despite our diet now being low carb. So, the question is, are there high percentage choc eggs out there? I'm afraid our palates don't quite stretch to 100%...

Hi there, does anyone use the My Fitness Pal app to track carbs? I use it all the time and would be lost without it. I've just started adding stuff for our evening meal and the carbs appear to have disappeared! It's just calories showing. Help! :eek:I'm not sure if this a bug or if I somehow...

Help needed from keen LC bakers! I'm needing to restock my cupboards and interested in where everyone gets their baking supplies. I've been buying bits and bobs here and there, but I don't think it's that cost effective. Where will I find the following things at a reasonable price. I'm...

I got this lovely recipe book for Christmas https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ottolenghi-SIMPLE-Yotam/dp/1785031163 I was surprised to discover how many low-carb recipes there are or ones that are easily adaptable. I know there are lots of foodies on here....I'm happy to report back on any recipes...

Some of you may have seen some of my posts over the past few months. For those those aren't familiar with our story and want to know the background, please take a look at previous posts. It is fair to say that my husband has had a very rocky road over the past few months. He has anxiety...

Hi, I'm hoping that someone can help decipher my husband's cholesterol results. We are over the moon with his latest HBA1c result of 41 just over 5 months after diagnosis and a score of 122! We just need to prepare for *that* conversation tomorrow at his diabetes review. Can anyone help make...

My husband was diagnosed with T2 just over four weeks ago. It was very sudden and traumatic, including a 4 night stay in hospital. Once his BG stabilised, he was discharged and all was well. He was prescribed Metformin and insulin and over the next week or so, his levels dropped into the 5-8...

.....I think I need some virtual hugs and general cheerleading to keep going. I'm supporting my husband who was dealing with extreme anxiety and depression prior to diagnosis. He has a long history of health anxiety and has avoided seeing the GP or Opticians for over 10 years. We are now...

My husband was diagnosed with T2 just over about 2.5 weeks ago. He had Bell's Palsy and had to treat it with a very strong dose of steroids. As a result, they had no choice but to start him on insulin. We are now in the process of reducing his doses down and we were getting some encouraging...

My husband was diagnosed a couple of weeks ago after being rushed into hospital with a suspected stroke. It turned out to be Bell's Palsy but his HBA1C was sky high at 122 and raised ketones (1.3). He was kept in hospital for four nights whilst they stabilised his levels, which was a challenge...

My husband has extreme anxiety following his diagnosis, so for the time being I am asking questions for him. Our DN is really happy with how his levels are coming down (he is on insulin for the moment due to being treated with steroids) but we are reducing with a view to coming off them. We...

....where do I start? I've found my way here after a rollercoaster few weeks. I've not been diagnosed as T2 myself, but my other half has. He is really struggling at the moment with his anxiety and very blurred vision due to his levels coming down. In a crisis, I always seem to go down the...
