    Sausages and burgers

    Love vindaloo and Madras. Only very slight effect on bgs thankfully plus a side of chana dhal. The only bread I can have without any problems is Lidl low GI roll or Warburton low GI brown bread. At least I can have a sandwich!

    Another Low Carb Diet Success!

    Hi Andy. Brilliant news for you and others struggling along. I was diagnosed in 2010 with T2. I have only recently managed to get my thick head around the idea that I’m not immortal and it won’t suddenly go away and I’m cured. So last January I really started the low carb (properly - not...

    Carbs are out!

    Hi All I have been diagnosed with T2 since 2010 but probably had some symptoms well before that. I went through the usual mental issues such as ignoring it altogether, having a go at dropping nice food and lying to the Doc about how hard I was trying to 'sort it out'. Last January I had a...

    Pesky dawn phenomenon

    Hi I suffer from this phenomena also. I can't seem to pin down anything that helps. Same problem - go to sleep around the 5 .5 mark and wake up with variations of 7 to 8 readings, if not more. I have read that this is a so called 'liver dump' to get you going after the fast but, if that's...
