Wow. We were out clothes shopping today and after the girls bankrupt me we (they) decided to eat out. We tried a new place called Firejacks. Northampton, six fields. The menu is different. You have to order each part. Don't want fries don't order any. I had a 10oz ribeye with a rocket...

A friend of my daughter (I have mentioned her before) is having problems with suitable injection sites, her arms are a bit used up as well as her thighs (information from daughter No2). What do you guys and gals do to spread the load, I have no idea, she has been T1 for most of her life and her...

Just checking. With my diet swinging more towards meat with less veg I'm wondering about the macronutrient side of things. Do you just take a vit supliment or is there a better option. Aside from the obvious. Today I felt a bit off and my bloods were fine. A 5.6, half hour later still...

Wondering just how much reducing fat actually reduces your waist. I know that's where our body dumps a lot of fat. But I was thinking. All the plumbing that now gets so much less volume. The stomach etc. Do they shrink. Does the liver physically shrink. I ask because my weight has been around...

Someone must know, my scales have been happily showing me around 78kg since Christmas, even thought I had got a bit back last week as I was (I thought) increasing slightly, more like 80kg. I have some old style scales, to the nearest kg is as accurate as you can get at best. Today I get home...

Sorry for the title. Just been a bit strange. Wasn't sure what to go with. Over the last day or 2 I have noticed I have been getting hungry. Just got in from work and nicked some bits of ham and cheese from the fridge. BG is 5.2. By no means low for me. I was expecting a 4.?. Is it just my...

I have now had 2 full weeks of one a day and can now tell for certain when my bg goes low. My feet and hands go cold. Normally feet once under 4.5. As I get closer to 4 my hands do as well. Odd experience to begin with. I'm not particularly hungry, certainly not hunger pangs etc any more...

Happy days, tonight had my first Chinese meal in months, es ma birthday...…. After careful drooling, Pork with mushrooms and a shrimp foo yung. Started pre meal at 5.0. 1 hour in up to 6, at 2 hrs back to standard operating of a 5.1. Whooopie. Was basically pork, eggs and mushrooms but im...

Hey all. Just wondering really. Kind of slipped into omad. Lunch was shrinking, down to some tuna and some salad. Breakfast went the same way. Butter coffee means being out the door in 10min flat and quiet (important at 430 am). I have NOT done it to lose weight. I'm 75kg now fresh from the...

Hey all. It would appear that I have reduced my weight loss to a trickle by doing very little about it. I had been getting ready to start actively thinking about increased fat, maybe some carbs etc but no. It would appear mother nature has beat me too it. Without a big breakfast I cannot skip...

Let the wife convince me that one night would be ok to let things slide as its No2's birthday do at a pizza place. Call it a treat as I had got down to 31 on the 1c. So I relented, checked the numbers and a slice of one of their pizzas worked out at 28g. Ok around half a thin crust meat number...

Hey folks. Got the daughter chewing my ear last night. Her hockey training has her working seriously hard. (premier level) When she got back she said she felt down on energy/hungry. She is not remotely diabetic but wondered on some options to keep her fueled up. Ideally while keeping her...

Perversely nervous for the result. My 30day average on my bg meter is showing 5.8 that's including some big Christmas numbers. Didn't cheat by skipping testing. That 'should' mean a good drop but you never know. It's like Christmas as a kid. I can't wait.

Yep. Full on. Question is. In days of old I would have been chomping through cough/throat sweets etc. I reek of vicks apparently but it helps no end. Just wondering what I could nibble on to ease the taste of... Well, snot, and take the edge off the sore throat. Random picky bits will just...

Probably an over dramatic title but I did. Done the last of the Christmas shopping today (presents) and we used a burger joint for a coffee. I genuinely felt like I knew the end of the world was coming. All the customers sat there stuffing themselves with pretty much, nothing but carbs. Big baps...

We were doing a quick shop and I picked up a big pot of peanut butter. Wife looks at me " You haven't had bread for months what are you going to eat that with". My response of " a spoon of course". Was met with the stare every married man has seen. 9g carb/100g and plenty of fat and...

Hey. Things have been going really good with the whole lchf thing. Have dropped from a 38 to a 30 waist. All told over 26lb in 10weeks. Yep. Falling off me at nearly 2kg a week average. 93 to 78kg from 18oct to now. I have never felt better. Thing is, bmi is now 24, 78kg and at 6"2' I...

It's probably only this sub forum can do this so appologies to the folk with more demanding situations than mine. Anybody planning on stepping off the wagon strategically over chrimbo. Have half the world coming round or.so it feels. I was thinking that so long as I keep testing when I...

As title. Found them in tesco. Noodles made with konjac flour. No fat, (0.1) no carb (0.9g/100g) Sugars (0.1) Fibre (3.9) So I'm going to give them a go tonight for dinner. 2 quid for 250g.

Had a really good walk this afternoon coming back to the hotel. Took the long way and ended up walking nearly 10k. When I got in I had a shower and some cheese as I had a nasty metal taste in my mouth. (only had breakfast so far) Tested with a bg of 4flat. Feel OK in myself but even a coffee...
