What's the best curry paste / base for making curries? We like to make our own curries, but obviously the stuff in jars tends to be ridiculous. We found the little curry pots which are better. What curry pastes / bases / sauces can you recommend ? Or if you make your own, can you post a...

I love the muffin recipe ! If I was to make vanilla muffins , how much vanilla essence should i add. and how much sweetener ? Would stevia be ok ?

My other half was diagnosed on the 5th with type 2 and a hbac of 76 She just had her second blood test to confirm diagnosis (2 weeks after her first test) And in just two weeks on keto / low carb diet, she's already dropped her hbac from 76 to 69. Diabetes nurse was well impressed, and we're...

Add me onto the wagon

Magic Number Baby. Looks like I need to email homehealth, as I just bought 100 of the strips too !

Ok so we have two blood glucose meters, one for in the house and one for in the car. We always make sure to use the same meter for the before and after readings. We decided to test both meters, as we seem to be getting much higher readings when at home. At home we have the codefree meter that...

Wow ! What was your glucose before that, do you know?

My other half has just been diagnosed T2 , her mornign readings are between 8.2 and 8.6 average , lowest was 7.4

Just a bit of fun really....What's the biggest glucose spike you've had? And what caused it? My partner has just been diagnosed T2, so we're in the 'test before and after every meal' stage, to see what does and doesn't spike her. So far we attempted a sandwich from Greggs (Bad idea, but she's...

Got a couple of good recipes from the links above, thank you guys, but I'm going to go with Nigella's chocolate cake, replacing the sugar for stevia.

I totally understand and respect what you're saying...but there's a few days a month a girl just needs chocolate! :bag:

Well I got some stevia sweeteners, but we seem to be doing okay , on just whole-fat lacto-free milk. I checked the contents and the lacto free milk was lower in carbs than the unsweetened almond, so that's what weve been using... makes sense I suppose as lactose is the milk sugars. It's not...

Does anyone have any links to any half decent baking recipes, for cakes etc ? Perhaps that use almond flour , insted of normal flour , and stevia instead of sugar ? And what is the best sugar free chocolate to buy as an occasional treat? (Preferably not dark) As I know some can be really...

It's been very hard for her, as she is a very fussy eater and pretty much lived on sandwiches, noodles, pasta and mash! So as you can imagine it's very hard. We're looking at finding the lowest carb bread we can (so far it's children's milk roll) , until I can get some almond flour and have at...

Ok that clears things up a bit , we don't usually eat breakfast , but I shall now make sure my oh has something when she gets up , even if its just a boiled egg!

So we were very pleased yesterday when my other haf (T2) got a midday reading of 6.7 , a premeal reading of 6.4 and an after meal reading of 6.5 Today she's not had anything yet today, and we did a quick reading before lunch (fried mushrooms) And the reading came in 8.7!! She's had literally...

We haven't got the meter on prescription , we went ahead and bought one and my other half's grandfather (who is arguably the worst diabetic ever) went and got her another one on his prescription....as he is type 1 insulin dependant but doesn't bother to test his blood...ever.:banghead: Anyway...

Got the meter! first reading 6.7 during day 6.4 before dinner and 6.5 after! Well chuffed

We're back off holiday ! Food wise my other half went with Cheeseburger (Minus the bun) Vegetarian Curry ( we went for rogan josh and asked for no potato , so there was nothing sweet and packed full of tasty veg!) Kebab without the bread Came home to find the glucose meter arrived...

So we arrived home from Holiday today and it was my other half's first day with a glucose meter, and combined with the MySugr app it's already helped a lot ! We managed to get a first reading today of 6.7mmol , that was early afternoon when she'd had a double cheeseburger (minus the bread) for...
