    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    7.2 mmol/L this morning Worst reading I've ever had. I had a cheat day for the first time as I came back home and yeah... I've learnt not to do that ever again. There was some good news though, my latest HbA1c came back today as 40. It was 61 last month so it's dropped by quite a bit. Am very...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    4.5 this morning. Fasted until 4pm today as I always do before blood tests, just in case the doctor wanted to run extra tests. BGs must have dropped quite low by then as I felt extremely tired + headache but immediately felt better once some food passed my lips :woot: Had my lateral flow test...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    L: Sausages and fried eggs D: Pork chops and green beans I have quite a bit of lard leftover from when I made keto Yorkshire pudding, so I thought I'd make use of it. Normally, I'd use olive oil to fry my chops but today I decided to add in a good knob of lard instead - wow, they came out...

    Favourite low-carb snacks on the go (no refrigeration)?

    Long-distance drive back home this Christmas (6 hrs). Wondering what everyone's favourite low-carb snack is that doesn't need refrigeration? In non-diabetic times, I'd be normally pulling in at some service station near the Midlands and grabbing an overpriced burger and fries :lol: (Apart...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Skipped breakfast and lunch again, just wasn't hungry. Going to make low carb toad in the hole for the 2nd time. They're in the oven right now, and this time I made sure the lard was screaming hot and sizzled when I put the batter in. Putting it on a lower rack to hopefully avoid any burning...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Skipped breakfast and lunch today. Felt very full, probably because of the pork scratching I had the night before. I mentioned a week or so ago that I'd be trying keto yorkshire puddings/toad in the hole. Made some tonight, but I think the lard I used wasn't hot enough before I put the batter...

    What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

    4.7 :) Apologies for going missing for a week! Had a ton of university deadlines, but that is all over now. Now I've just got to revise for the exams. Fasting BGs were higher than my normal average (I hit 5.4 as the highest) the past week, but I put that down to burning the candle at both ends...

    Pork scratchings UK

    Hi, I quite like a bag of Mr Porky's pork scratchings now and again as a snack (or even as a meal on its own if I'm on the move), but it is quite expensive. I've noticed that there are these companies on eBay selling bulk bags of pork scratching for a reasonable price. Has anyone had...

    What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

    Whoops. Not posted in this thread for a few days I actually ate breakfast today. Had an interview for the Civil Service this morning which went pretty well. Funnily enough, a few hours later, I had another phone-call from a well-known online retailer/tech giant ;) so I've got my internship for...
