Depends on the size. A Riverford courgette is usually bigger than one from Sainsbury's. One or two. Peeled or not, fried in butter and lemon or lime juice, with freshly grated Parmesan ab=nd black pepper.

I bought an old book called The Complete Cookery Book for Diabetics (2nd edition 1959) by Iris Holland-Rogers, who was a dietician at the British Diabetes Association. Her Boiled Rice for Curry is supposedly 10 grams of carbs and 46 calories. Wash 1 rounded tablespoon of long grain rice in cold...

Two soft-boiled organic chicken's eggs with Portuguese sea salt Mug of tea with Lactofree whole milk (2.6g carbs per 100ml) Mug of home-made bouillon type stuff - 1 organic Kallo chicken stock cube with boiling water, 1 tsp Gayelord Hauser Dieteticien Superlevure and a sprinkling of Gayelord...

I take 4 Metformin SR per day, two in the morning, two in the evening. I've eaten low carb since around 2013 and I started keto about 3 weeks ago. Recently, I read that Metformin has an interesting effect in suppressing mTOR which means that there's less inflammation and oxidative stress, so...

When diagnosed T2DM I had a feeling like I had a plaster under the skin on my left foot. That was my only symptom. It progressed and I got tingling. I was put on Metformin four days after diagnosis. I switched to the slow release after about three months. The tingling stopped when my BG lowered...

GPs usually start T2 patients with Metformin, which 25% of patients have horrendous rear-end incidents with. Ask your GP for slow release Metformin. That's usually tolerated better. I guess it must be more expensive.

Wow, that's really rare. Yes, do talk to GP ASAP.

I use the Grain-free KFC recipe from Ditch the Carbs, no pork scratchings necessary. https://www.ditchthecarbs.com/grain-free-kfc/

Boris Johnson is trying to prevent a recession by getting people into shops, pubs and cafes, even if it risks their lives. Many people, having gotten used to online shopping are reluctant to travel to towns and cities to shop. My husband went to London last week. Caught a rush hour train back...

The label was stuck into the shrink-wrapped plastic. The ingredients were printed on the back of this. It wasn't possible to see them at all from the front and there was nothing in or underneath the tray with ingredients on. Don't know about glucose, but it would have to be labelled. Water...

I refused to go on diabetes course, because they use the Eatwell Guide, based on low fat, with plenty of carbs. When I asked the awkward questions, like " Why do you insist on carbs for people with diabetes, you wouldn't make coeliacs eat bread" they have no answer. Only you can make a...

Several reasons. We went organic after buying plain pork chops from Tesco and finding out that they contained 11% added water, two additives and glucose syrup,o only when we took the wrapper off. There was nothing on the outside, about any of it. I had bad retinopathy, I did stricter low carb...

I think it's harsh. to say that Type 2 diabetes is a lifestyle disease caused by poor dietary choices. As Professor Lustig has pointed out in several of his videos online, lifestyle doesn't explain obese six month old kids or obese newborns. As a paediatric endocrinologist, running the childhood...

My husband has had NCGS since 2012 and doesn't eat any wheat or gluten at all so I haven't either. Recently, I bought Atkins crispbreads from Lowcarbmegastore which gave wheat as an ingredient. In date, undamaged. Day 1 had one with lunch, tasted great. Day 2. after eating one, had upset stomach...

I used to get a delivery from Iceland every month, because it was the cheapest place to buy frozen fish and seafood. Looking at the Iceland website now, the fishing waters info has disappeared and instead, it's all 'Produced and Packed in China'. Makes me think that the fish is probably farmed...

Well, you can't walk away from them completely and do something else.

My husband has NCGS and we have been eating gluten free since around 2012. Difficult to say re: BG, as we went organic and I went low carb, all in the same time frame. He bought gluten-free products a lot, at first, but now makes his own gluten-free bread. About the only gluten-free products he...

My top tip, is to buy a soupmaker. As a college-trained former chef, I used to feel that I should be slaving over a stove, but the soupmaker can just get on with it, while I do other things. Don't recommend them for chunky soups but for really good smmoth soups, they are excellent. Using a...

Lidl doesn't deliver and ASDA is the next cheapest for organic veg. Very impressed by your bulk buying Brunneria ! Sainsbury's charges more for unfiltered organic olive oil than it does for the filtered stuff. HSSS the brands were the tomato paste and tomatoes (on offer), the salmon (wild and...
