low carb

I'm type 2 and currently taking victoza, metformin and gliclazide but I'm getting started on insulin next week. I had been lowering my carb intake but the last week the nausea from the victoza has been pretty bad so I was eating porridge and bread as I've found I don't get as nauseous with plain...

I lost a lot of weight last year, about 30Kg, from 100Kg down to 70Kg. This was on a strict calorie counting diet based on GI. Now I have started to gain weight because I have relaxed a bit. I would like to try a low carb diet, but I just love bread. Not the white plastic stuff but wholemeal...

I am a Type 2 Diabetic, with a kidney transplant. I wonder if anyone knows of any snacks which are low carb, and low potassium? Many Thanks Paul

I wanted to apply the research emerging from Newcastle to see if a dramatic loss of weight would reduce, even eliminate my dependency on Insulin. I had been injecting for 12 years and always got very positive feedback about my blood sugar control. However this was at the expense of injecting...

hey guys ! So, I'm currently eating 70g of whole grain graham bread, one boiled egg(60g) and some cottage cheese, usually 50g. I wanted to try 40g of oatmeal with 250ml of milk, but I'm not sure what's better for my blood sugar, and I don't know any good recipes for low calories, low carb...

Hi there, I have just started to follow a low/medium low carb diet. Im type one. I find that omelette with cream and cheese raised my blood sugar. Cant understand why. Any help??

Good day to everyone!:) I've been a low-carber for 5 years already. Recently I started to notice a very bad breath... :( I suppose it's because of the low carb... Have you had the same problem? How did you manage it? Usually I eat about 30 grams of carbs per day.

Hi All, I've been lurking and posting occasionally for the last few weeks whilst waiting for my GP to confirm pre-diabetes or Type 2. Thankfully today she has confirmed pre-diabetes, although my blood sugars are all just below borderline. It's been brilliant to have been able to read all the...

Hello everyone. I'm looking for a low carb cracker recipe that would go well with guacamole. I was thinking of something with chia and flax seeds and possibly other seeds. I'm thinking of using some almond flour and xanthum gum instead of regular flour. Even ground up cauliflower might work...

Hi I'm 19 and newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. I have been eating a low carb diet which has allowed me to not bolus as I'm still in the honeymoon period. However I have been experiencing muscle cramps in my calves at night and muscle weakness in my arms and legs. Also a stuffyness in my...

My first post. I was diagnosed 4 weeks ago, and like many, the whole experience has been quite bewildering. Here's how it happened. 4/5 weeks ago I went to my GP about something else, and had my bloods taken. I then received a phone call from my GP who advised that the results suggested I had...

I keep getting these messages from someone called "Louise" on the Low Carb Mentor Program - telling me how wonderfully I'm doing (insert hollow stressed laughter here) - I've tried 2 or 3 times to get onto that but I can't figure it out properly. I can't do it at all, so I need to find some way...

Hi, I'm thinking of trying this Hi Fat /Low Carb diet for a while, see if it helps. I've been doing the Slimming World diet and had some success with it (lost around 2st 6lb since Sept last year) but I worry about the diabetes aspect of my life. I feel I should be doing something about that...

I subscribe to a daily email from spiralized.com - it isn't vegetarian but this month they are doing the whole month vegan so it may be worth a look - today's recipe is pulled "pork" made with jack fruit (not sure it's available in the UK - not even too sure what it is lol) it isn't always very...
