Following on from another thread I thought it might be helpful to have a post for people to list low carb substitutes they have tried and like. There are so many options on line, but often expensive and it’s hard to know what is worth trying. Although we all like different things I find it is...

I make these once a week. In an airtight container they last about a week, if I can resist them this long. to this basic recipe I add black pepper, dried rosemary and dried thyme. This makes two baking trays around A4 size. Once I have rolled it out I sprinkle salt, black pepper and sesames...

Just watching masterchef and a contestant is making low carb chocolate tart. Hope he goes far!

Despite a low carb diet over the last year my HbA1c has increased from 44 to 92. I think this started after I had Covid and a Covid vaccination. I wear a libre and could see an increase although the libre indication was that it would be around 73. My diabetic nurse has said I’m running out of...

I’m due to go on my first holiday abroad since wearing the libre. Is it likely to set the alarm off at security in the airport? If so and it has happened to you did the security guards understand what it is? I self fund so don’t have a prescription I can show them.

Has anyone else found their libre has been inaccurate in hot sunshine. my sensor was new on Tuesday. It has been fine until this afternoon. I spent about 5 hours working in the garden with the sensor often in full sun. coming in the levels dropped over about 30 mins until it was showing a...

I’ve been wearing a libre covered with tegaderm since March. I swim regularly for up to an hour with no problem. the sauna at the leisure club has just reopened, and I went in for 10 minutes this week, the first time with the libre on. As I was getting dressed I noticed the libre and tegaderm...

Hi, I am type 2 and at the beginning of March decided to try the libre 2 to improve my control (currently on metformin (1000mg bd), Glicazide (160mg morning, 80mg evening) and sitagliptin). The libre is predicting HbA1c at 5.3 although I think the first couple of sensors under recorded glucose...
