Has anyone tried this recipe? https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/keto-rhubarb-tart Am trying to understand how to do the rhubarb and whether it's enough to give the taste. Is the rolling a faff?

Today, 7 months after my last Hba1c of 42 I have received a text from my local surgery saying my blood sugar levels show Pre-diabetes and to phone or go to a website for help. (That's not news to me, was first diabetic in 2020, managing it myself since) Https://preventing-diabetes.co.uk So...

Today I met a friend in her 90s who said she had been quite ill since diagnosed with T1 a year ago. Since then she has been put on 4 fixed injections of insulin a day and given a Libre. She says her sugars are all over the place, very up and very down. She is under the care of a central London...

Channel 5 yesterday. But now on catch up https://www.channel5.com/ready-meals-the-shocking-truth Most of us know ready meals aren't good for us. This programme not only looks at sugars and fats in some, but also greenhouse gasses in producing them, and at how a lot of plant based are not as...

Today I bought the same plain greek style yoghurt I usually do (Lidl) It was in a different shaped pack, so as I still had some left from a previous purchase I checked to see if the quantity had changed. It hadn't but the nutritional info had. Both show just the one ingredient, milk, so how can...

Hba1c 39! :woot: Amazed as weight has risen by 7 lbs, thinking it was carb creep so expecting bg to have risen too. And the test had covered an American holiday and Christmas in that 3 months. Maybe it's fat creep, or portion creep, or lack of will power that has caused the weight gain but...

Hi I'm type 2 and usually order direct from Abbott, but due to strikes and the fact I'm going into town tomorrow I'd like to see if I can pick one up from a shop. But can I? Who supplies them?

Got woken at 04:00 with severe central stomach pain, just behind the tummy button and higher. Thought at first indigestion but tablets didn't relieve it and ended up rolling around on the floor in a ball. Called 111 to ask about pain killers and they have called an ambulance. Currently 8:30...

So there I was happily replacing 1 libre with the next and waiting my (self imposed) 24 hours before activation, all perfectly timed so I could test a blow out American brunch this morning. On waking reached for phone to activate Libre and phone hadn't charged and was out of power!!!!! Now...
