Bough a cauli today - having thai green curry so will let you know!

Thanks, good to know I will still be able to have an occasional drink (in moderation!)

There's such a thing as too much protein :oops:

Thanks for your response, yes getting my head round testing and a routine and learning my numbers is a priority and hopefully over time I will see them start to come down :)

Thanks for that. So, I've deleted the 2.2 as obv my body went into hibernation and will see if repeats tomorrow, but likely as you say not to be an accurate reading (hopefully!). Good point re the quinoa - more chicken for me in future!

Many thanks Stephen for your supportive comment. I had my first drink fee day yesterday!!! Going for so long thinking I'm invincible then reality strikes. I've gone down the fingerprick route for now as it's less in your face. Found what looks like a great app for tracking results, carbs and...

Thanks for the reply

I need to shed the pounds! I love my curry's & Italian pasta so looking for low carb alternatives. Are brown rice and whole-wheat pasta good for a low carb diet? What about breads? Gluten free or whole-wheat again or is it total abstinence? TIA

So, I've just been diagnosed Type 2 and had my first appointment with the diabetic nurse at my GP practice. There is so much to get your head around and I'm a little bit freaked out!! I'm early with the diagnosis as blood test last year was ok but now I'm scoring 52 (?). I've been advised to...
