low carb

“Repeat after me: pregnant women do not need to eat carbohydrates!” "Ketones in the urine of pregnant women with GD “freak doctors out,” says Nichols, because they fear the life-threatening conditions of diabetic ketoacidosis in pregnancy or starvation ketosis. “These are not the same as...

Please don't misconstrue the below question as someone who has not realized the errors of her diet!!! My problem with foods as I see it now has been my love of grains, cereals, granola bars, etc. Right now I am being extra strict to see if I can get my AC1 lower. I have always been slim, have...

I have made some ice cream tonight with 70 percent dark chocolate, greek yoghurt and double cream. It tastes great and has a good texture, but the yoghurt gives it a really citrussy taste, which is fine, but not what I was after. I am thinking of trying to make a custard based ice cream with...

Of all the things I have been trying to do over the last 10 years, low carbs wasn't one of them, my last visit to a health professional didn't go well, the dietitian gave me a booklet, pointed out what I should be looking at and asked me if I had any questions and here I had watched several...

Hi I am 23 Years old and have Type 1 diabetes. I have had diabetes for nearly 4 years. I am desperate to lose weight and have noticed since being diagnosed as Diabetic I find it hard to lose weight (I also have a underactive thyroid). I have trued losing weight previously but want to try losing...

Hello, was anyone else invited to be apart of the "Type 1 Program"? The last email I received from the team on 8/11/2018 stating that access to the digital platform would be available mid-December? I've sent a query to diabetes.co.uk a couple of weeks ago but I have had no reply. Anyone...

Not necessarily, no... There have been media stories recently about how beef production causes carbon emissions, like section 7 on this page: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-46384067 where it says the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change "says we need to: buy less meat...

Has anyone tried this Low-carb ketchup recipe? https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/ketchup Any other suitable alternatives? I still find bacon and eggs could do with ketchup after 5 months doing Keto. I've been feeling deprived! Many thanks...

Well, not really 'permission' as I don't need it, want it or looked for it. But I suppose I've kind of got it now :angelic: My diabetes consultation last week was a surprise to me. I was all set to argue how well low carb/keto was working for me and how fasting from breakfast to dinner also...

It was refreshing to watch 2 heavy weights discuss sensibly topics concerning diametrically opposed positions. No insults or cheap shots. I / possibly we, need more of this, as there is much which can be learned by having both low carb / keto / carnivore and vegan experts state their cases...

The holiday season is here. Decided I want to dig out the molds and make Springerle cookies this year. The regular ones need time to fully develop their flavor so I would make them weeks in advance, like now. When searching, I couldn’t find any low carb versions. Before I ruin a few batches...

I have read such mixed reviews about whether a high fat low carb diet is beneficial for type 1! I am already putting on weight after 4 days of taking insulin and don’t want to put on any more. Has any one got any advice on what diet to go on?

Fellow Low-Carbers, what do you do if you get a cold/sore throat and require a cough sweet, please? Thanks in advance...

Hi All! Just got my latest results back at 6.8 (in Canada) so was quite pleased (last one was 6.6) as the summer is always harder for me to keep things under control with our anniversary, birthdays and such an awfully hot one this year!! Also just finished having two cataract surgeries and now...

It's absolute **** to be honest... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-45195474

SUMMARY: T1 for 30 years with insulin resistance. Recently started on metformin. Low carb the only carbs coming from veg (very rarely including potato). How do you count carbs? This may seem like a pretty dumb question considering I've been type 1 for past 30 years and have always...

Diagnosed almost a year ago. Switched to a low carb diet and started hitting the gym pretty hard. I've gained weight but lost body fat which I think is ok? My first A1C dropped drastically with diet and exercise after the months but after six it shot way up (no changes to diet or exercise). I'm...

It's my husband and not me. I want to help him especially as he has been my rock over the last 6 months. He is already on 5mg ramopril once a day but doesn't want it to go up. He weighs 14 stone 13 and is 5 feet 11. Apparently according to Google that's 3 stone over weight! So he is joining me...
