Still waiting to hear from diabetic nurse whether she wants to see me. Originally was going to have bloods three monthly but have feeling this will be increased to six monthly. My eating hasn't been perfect recently but the little small changes have stuck with me. I've getting used to saying...

Good News! It has reduced to 49 mmol/mol from 88! Very happy with this . :happy: This has cheered me up after yesterdays rubbish work day.

Thanks guys! It's booked for next Thursday. Will just try and do my best till then.

Since been diagnosed in June my eating habits have improved and lost 1.5 stone. However, I feel I may have undone all my hard work over the last three weeks. I went on two self-catering caravan hols and fell off the band wagon. Had sugary treats and more alcohol than usual. Its hasn’t helped...

I've been told by my diabetic nurse as I'm type 2 and not on a medication that causes Hypos I should not be testing. She also thinks doctors will take prescription off me for lancets/strips. Haven't tried to put in a repeat prescription yet. Must admit I haven't been testing much as don't want...

thanks Winnie53 I read Sugar the Bitter truth years ago, just wish I listened! I will defiantly watch his videos to remind me why my previous dieting hurt my body. Especially with all the sugar addicts in my workplace. Although I would never wag my finger as I'm no saint myself!:angelic:

Fat has never been a trigger for me, however things like doughnuts with high sugar/ fat I've found one is never enough. It could just be rubbish processed foods, work colleagues have brought in supermarket cupcakes and the traffic light system is red on everything!:eek: Avoiding those. Only...

I've often felt sugar with high fat is addictive for me as my binges tend to be high sugar , high fat treats . I've never binged on apples so never felt it was just the sugar alone. Only started reducing carbs recently and found it hard at times. Never realised how much of a supermarket is...

Good news is I have lost another half a stone. Bad news is I have wavered a little bit over the weekend and Monday, carbs have crept up again. So fresh start today! I'm going on holiday in couple of weeks so need to keep at it. I regret eating doughnuts over the weekend. the High sugar, High...

Thanks for the link, some great recipes on there. A lot include xylitol which I would need to substitute as have a greedy dog in house and couldn't trust around baked goods:hungry:. Gonna bake some scones tonight as in the mood for some baking.

Well in three weeks (weighed in at first diabetic nurse appointment) I have lost a stone!:joyful: over the moon with this. I hope the rest of the weight comes off this quick! Although I expect it to slow down a bit. It's giving me the boost I needed :)

well done @chrestomanci :happy: I've been reading the success stories for inspiration as just started low carb recently. Such amazing achievements here!

Well my second attempt was better when using ground almonds. Made peanut butter scones. I don't think I will use coconut flour anymore though as the coconut taste overpowers the recipe. I will keep on baking! its definitely an art to bake without flour! :happy:

thanks guys, much appreciated! Will have to find my inner domestic goddess!:p

Any good low carb scone recipes that people have tried and tested? Tried a cheesy scone one from blood sugar diet book but so much coconut flour tasted like a macaroon. I'm looking forward to trying out low carb baking but not sure I've got the knack yet!

Some fab suggestions on here! At the minute I'm still enjoying my spicy chicken salads for lunch.

thanks guys I'm finding tons of info on this website. I thought I would get bored of low carb but there's load of foods available. Day three and not feeling hungry much.

Diagnosed T2 diabetes end of June. I had visited doctor due to frequent Migraines and my bloods game back HbA1c 88. It came as a shock and felt very ashamed/guilt for not losing the weight before it got to this point. My weight is very high at 19st and BMI over 50! I’ve never been thin, but this...
