No definitely not. I’ve got all my info from groups on FB and the internet….and lost 8kg in 5 months and HbA1c down from 47 to 37! Paid nothing.

It really is delicious!! First off I used only Almond flour. Secondly I used full cream Greek Yoghurt instead of cream cheese(I never had that in my fridge). Her fresh fruit puréed jam looks lovely. I did a few strawberries puréed but I used more of the St Dalfour jam to spread...

I know what you mean it it’s how we learn I guess and must just remember next time we’re tempted. I just baked a keto Victoria Sponge and it was lovely. Nice texture too but I had to put some no added sugar St Dalfour Jam on it and of course there’s the cream too. I didn’t even add any...

Yes, it taught me something…..that I haven’t missed anything !

Thankyou both so much!! I feel a lot better now ☺️. Great advice and I shall look at the links. Thankyou again.

I did a crazy thing yesterday by eating half a M&S lemon and sultana Danish cake….my spike at 8.3mmol stayed high for two hours and didn’t come way down to 6.2mmol until 3 hours! I didn’t even enjoy that half cake! I hope I haven’t blown my 3 month HbA1c check up due this month...

Thankyou……..I won’t be going mad that’s for sure….I got a shock on my last HbA1c…..but it was nice to know that a slice of wholemeal didn’t put me through the roof….I was just curious. Tonight it was plain old fillet steak and salad. ☺️

Hi, I have been on a low carb /sugar for 2 months now and I have lost 5.5kg. My BG on waking is around 5.3 to 5.6mmol. I really thought I would try a slice of my home baked wholemeal bread (no sugar) at 45g. I was delighted to see my BG wasn’t nearly as high as it use to be after eating...

Thankyou….good point. I need to get stuck in to drinking more water. Not too keen but I must give it a try.

I’m okay now thanks…..it was just the one day but I upped the carbs and sugar a bit after that and just felt better all round.

I would think it might be….I just had it for the one day and when I looked at my Nutra Check App…I’d had only 20g carbs for the day before and sugar was something like 13g!! Extremely low for me….so that doesn’t bode well for me. I know the Keto diet talk of ‘Keto flu’ for a short length...

You’re correct it would. I’m just watching my cholesterol as it’s 5.5 this time (usually in the 40’s)…just doing this until my next check up ☺️

Thankyou very much for this. My goodness who would ever guess. Maybe a bit like eating a tangerine on its own on an empty stomach which spikes badly. Thankyou.

This is crazy I know but surely one Maynards Sherbet Lemon can’t cause a spike or can it? My tum was quite empty and because I was out I had a quick sweeetie. One and half hours later when I got home my reading was 6.8mmol! What! I don’t even get this high a reading after a...

Ahhh thankyou so much. I won’t be joining. . Yes…definitely many more hours spent looking.

Oh wow! Nice thought…is it really possible to drop so fast (3 weeks). My HbA1c test on 19th April was 47mmol. I shall be over the moon but have to wait until October for another test.

I would like to ask if the LowCarb Program is worth paying for? I’m pre diabetic at an HbA1c number of 47 in April. All I want is a properly worked out menu plan. I’ve cut carbs and cut down on sugar for 3 weeks now and lost nearly 3kg. However I’m not sure if my eating is WELL...

Thankyou for replying. Yes I am testing regularly to get an idea. I am finding that my blood glucose levels before and after meals are definitely dropping. I’m around 5.2 to 5.8mmol after waking up, so still pre diabetic but I think things are improving.

I’ve been on a low carb low sugar diet for 3 weeks now but today I felt a bit faint, lightheaded and very weak in my body…and very fatigued …I just wanted to lie down. Quite possibly my carb and sugar intake the day before was far too low for me. Just wondering if anyone else has...
