Wow, are you having us on? That brekkie is nothing but carbs!!! And that's before you start on the toast and marmite

Sounds like you had quite a lot of the stuff and your body couldn't cope with too much too soon. Mind you, if someone showed me where to get sweeties that I thought, rightly or wrongly couldn't hurt me then I would probably pig right out

I found that if I realised beforehand that I was likely to be going to cheat, I made myself drink two glasses of water first. Sometimes, after that, I really don't feel like cheating anymore, it just doesn't seem worth it, especially if your tummy is going plop, plop, plop as you move around, lol

Yes I think that getting the "wobbles" at a higher reading than most people is due to the fact that this is what your body is used to. I used to get weird at anything approaching 5, but when on the low carb for a while, one morning I had a 3.4 and felt fine. So definitiely your body gets used to...

Be careful with the Atkins diet. I have very successfully lost weight with it over the last 5/6 weeks and kept my BSs down significantly BUT circumstances last Saturday led me to having to have a meal out as we couldn't get home so fish and chips was chosen and we wouldn't be home until well...

I knew I should have used the hand method but was persuaded by hubby that this way would be easier, NOT. The bread never rose at all, in fact where...

Had quite a job of it. Had to change my name slightly and email account and then re-register

Hi Sarah, no I forgot to mention the Metformin, 3 times a day. Is this what you mean. I did mention to the "specialist" nurse that I had heard of an insulin that shouldn't interfere with the weight so much and I am afraid that she seemed to pretend she didn't hear me. As I should be getting...

Well I am on 60 units of Lantus daily and not getting good enough BSs later in the day. Had a visit to "specialist" nurse last week, not my usual one at my local surgery, who does at least listen to me. She told me to up my Lantus and I explained why I didn't want to as I am already struggling...
