I have some wonderful friends.

I'm not sure that I've seen a link to this January 2023 Unwin paper on the forums. It takes forward the work reported in earlier publications, and is a description of a "practical primary-care based method to achieve remission in T2D"...

Facebook won't let me post at all, so enjoy.....

Elsewhere I belong to a couple of "historic cookery" groups and this appeared the other day. Not made it yet but it a) looks good and b) seems very low carb.

This caught me out at the weekend. I used to buy something of the same name from Aldi, and it was zero sugar, zero carb. Hadn't bought it for a while, and picked this up in Aldi on Friday which looked like the same stuff in a rebranded can. It has however 6g carb per can. One can would be about...

I was reading through a Pears Encyclopaedia from 1975 last night and I found some advice which I thought people here might be interested in. We didn't really have anything other than local seasonal fruit, with the possible exception of (expensive) bananas and (sometimes) oranges: although I...

Dear all, In recent weeks we have seen a number of posts which appear to have been generated by machine intelligence - "chatbots". These posts are created by an Artificial Intelligence (AI) program through a synthesis of material generally available on the internet. The content is therefore...

I saw this advertised and gave it a try. I have been a bit skeptical about low-carb/zero carb beers in the past, as almost all (Marston's Resolution is the only half decent one) taste so bad that they're not worth it. However, Salute is an exception. They do two beers, a lager (4.8%) and an...

Anyone else play? I've just discovered this and I'm nearly a month in, played twice a week since Christmas. It is aimed at 50+ and for all ages and types, no particular level of skill needed which is great for me.

Hi all. We relaunched Low-Carb Skipton's open meetings this month. Welcoming old members and new. Next meeting will be on 6th December at 7 pm in the Rendezvous Hotel. We're hoping to have a guest speaker and a trading stall - to be confirmed.

Anyone tried the seed crackers from M&S at a claimed 3g carb per 100g weight? I've tried several M&S outlets now and the staff don't seem to be aware that these exist. M&S website is not helpful either.

I have noticed my BG levels have been up a bit over the past few days coinciding with the hot weather in the UK. I've had next to no carb but fasting levels are high fives where I'm used to mid to high fours, and I had one post-meal reading of 7.3, which is very high for me (not been over six...

Anyone else see the DiabetesUK Facebook recipe post this morning? Raspberry frozen yoghurt, sounds nice. Raspberries, yoghurt..and 50g sugar. Can't say I'm that surprised. They seem to have attracted a lot of justified flak. couple of posts are trying to defend the indefensible - along the...

As of today, I am in remission. I’ve not had an HbA1c in diabetic levels since January 2020 and have now had a clear full year with normal range readings. Today’s was 36 mmol/mol. I’ve had “diabetic” problems since at least 2010 – oedema, kidney problems (producing no urine) ...

I found this which makes interesting reading. https://www.diabetesonthenet.com/resources/details/diabetes-and-war

It seems there's a piece on recent LCHF research in the recent New Scientist - unfortunately it's behind a paywall, and I'm not about to take out a subscription. The 100 or so words I've seen are a bit gee-whiz journalist rubbish (eg "fad diets") but I'd really like to see what it says. Anyone...

I've now officially been diabetic for one year, although my diabetic symptoms go back at least ten years. Since diagnosis in December 2019 when my BG reached 50 , I've reduced my HbA1c to 36/37; lost about six inches off my waist; and about 10kg - not sure what weight I was when I started. My...
