    The C(hristmas) word

    I’ve got a book called One Mix - One Hundred Muffins which has got savoury ideas. They’re not low carb (they contain flour) but the savoury chapter contains no sugar, with lots of lovely options. And I’m sure substitutions could be made for some of the wheat flour, eg adding oats or almond flour...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Nice casserole @Annb My BS readings are lower than 3 weeks ago, they no longer spike up above the blue line on the libre (around 7.8). Overnight was 4.7 (libre) and 5.7 at dawn, back down to 4.8 at 8am. Breakfast - porridge, 1/2 pear, 6 blueberries, yoghourt - that took me up from 4.8 to 6.2...

    Already got them @Antje77. As well as the fat I’m not used to eating so much protein, meat, fish either. I heard of someone on a vegan Keto diet, I wonder if I could add in more plant foods. Just got some tofu. I miss my brown rice but maybe that will pass or maybe it’s just about having...

    Covid/Coronavirus and diabetes - the numbers

    @zand I’m very sorry to hear about your long COVID. I was chatting to someone earlier and apparently the NHS are setting up online support and nationwide rehabilitation programmes for long COVID sufferers, so there appears to be help coming. They’re learning much more about the consequences of...

    Covid/Coronavirus and diabetes - the numbers

    @NicoleC1971 you made me chuckle. OMG, John Snow does look like Matt Hancock! I wonder if they’re related? I think I caught Wide COVID over the summer, which left me with a nasty case of post-weight-gain-itis. The only cure is to go cold (low carb) turkey with the support of a diabetic forum...

    @PenguinMum thanks for the encouragement. For lunch I tried a homemade low carb roll made with FatHead dough with vegetable lentil soup (delicious!) and my blood sugars were 4.9 before, 6.3 after 1 hour, and 6.0 after 2 hours, very stable. Interesting but I’m not sure whether I can do this, the...

    Covid/Coronavirus and diabetes - the numbers

    I’m not an epidemiologist, nor an expert on transmission of infectious diseases. At the weekend I read about the GB Declaration and was intrigued, especially when it appeared to ‘disappear’ from google for a while. Why I asked? Presumably google thought this was false news? It’s returned now, so...

    ^ well you could say the mint is one of your five a day This weekend am going to try making some Keto bread rolls with mozzarella cheese, full fat cream cheese, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder and eggs. Sounds like something to enjoy in moderation. Pity I can’t make some for everyone...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    The same happens to me when I eat lots of carbs. I had a successful 9 months of eating more healthy choices and lost 8kg, and then about 3 months ago my alter ego said to me one day ‘you’re stressed, it’s OK, you can have a cookie.’ And in that one thought I lost all the determination I’d had...

    DCUKMod, that’s interesting about the blood sugar readings. I had my first 5.7 today on the finger prick test (4.6 on the libre but I discount that) 2 hours after lunch of soup with a turkey sandwich. Weird that now that I’ve come onto this low carb section I’m eating bread for lunch, but it’s...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Thanks for your welcome posts everyone. DJC3 the carb addiction thing rings a bell. I’ve managed to crack my terrible sugar addiction, but carbs are still a work in progress. Tonight was a freezer meal, salmon, carrots and barley rissotto - but then I thought of everyone here, and only had a...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Thanks DJC3, I’m here to learn. I played around with my blood sugar readings (Kinetik) over the last couple of weeks and 2h after food was often around 8.2. (1.5 hrs after food could be 9 or 10) It took a couple of weeks and some 15 mins walks after food to bring it down to 7.8 2 hrs after food...

    New to this forum, and trying to lose weight with eating less generally, with less carbs, pre-diabetic HbA1c 44. I’ve been on very low carbs/calories for several days and yesterday I hit the wall and felt a very surreal empty mood, and gave in and started eating more. Breakfast today 45g...
