Im trying low carb diet. Are sweet potatoes better than regular potatoes, or should I just stay away altogether??

Hi beamer. Im struggling with weight loss too, but im perservering. Im t2 and on metformin and victosa injections (not sure the victosa is working as meant to lose weight on it). Im low carbing, but dont think ive got it quite,right yet as, although my gl readings have come down really well, ive...

Theres a good website, sugarfreemegastore.com, for treats. Theres a carb free selection too. Snacks, sweets and drinks. They also sell the da vinci syrups in different flavours. Great with quark mousse! Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

I havent heard of this diet, so sorry I cant help. Ill be intetested to see if it works for you tho. Im low carbing but getting very confused. Not quite sure about these good carbs and bad carbs. My consultant told me to eat couscous, but its really high in carbs. Also, if I count carbs, I still...

Re: Comments on Low carb diet - a newbies guide I'm sorry, and I hope people can see this but I dont know how to start a new debate/question. I am low-carbing, and using the myfitnesspal site, which I find brilliant! Im mainly shuffling along from bits and pieces of info from this forum. The...

Hi christine That must be hard for him. I'm 53 and not scared of needles one bit, but it took a while for me to stop cringing while I injected myself. The only advice I can offer, is to give him time. Hes still a baby really. When he gets used to the fact it doesnt hurt, he might pluck up some...

Hi rosie buds I only came on the forum yesterday, but have found it quite informative. I was like you, and binged, didnt check my glucose levels. Pretty much buried my head in the sand. I saw my first consultant last year, and luckily, he was amazing and gave me lots of good information. I know...

Oh dear stoomo. Not a good way to learn a lesson bless you. Glad you can joke tho and you may have just helped many people with your comment xx Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Good on you for admitting your lack in caring for your diabetes. Dont be too hard on yourself tho, cos youve asked for help, so you must be ready. I hope you keep it up sorting yourself out, but if you find yourself slipping back into old habits, come back and ask for some support and...

Im also going to try 'cloud bread' which is apparently made like merangue but sets differently. Ill post when ive tried it. Anything different eh? Lol Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Im pleased to hear I can have peanut butter. I dont know why I thought it was a no no. Prob just the mindset of it being fattening. Im just starting this low carb thing and learning all the time. Sent from the Diabetes Forum App

Finzi I dont use oil. Its the same without it. I dont make it with almonds all the time but prefer it for breakfast. I think the benefits of almonds outweigh the cons. You said you have peanut butter? I love this, but didnt think I was allowed. Do you just have it as a treat? Great to know aldi...

Same recipe finzi, but the ground almond makes it just that bit sweeter and easier to handle. I like it with or without tho. Wouldnt worry too much about loo habits. Hasnt had any affect so far and ive been making this for a while. You can also add flaxseed to 1 egg omlette mix to make it go...

You need 1tbs ground flaxseed, 1.5tbs ground almonds, 1/4 tsp sweetener, 1/2 tsp baking powder an egg and a tsp water. Just throw everything in a bowl and mix well. Pour into a bread shaped dish (i just use a plastic carton from a chinese takeaway) Nuke for 60-70 seconds, turn out and let cool...

Re: "You've got to eat more" I'm sorry youre struggling. Could you try just adding one more food item to each meal? I know it's hard as theres so much you have to steer clear of, but say, if your having a quiche salad, have a slightly larger piece of quiche. This way, you wont feel as if youre...

My consultant is based at william harvey hospital in kent. Hes really nice and never preaches to me. He is actually the first person I spoke to that made this whole process easier to understand. So you guys reckon im doing the right thing cutting right down on carbs? Milk is my downfall but have...
