low carb

Does anyone know if there is any truth in an article written by David Mendosa stating that Chana Dal does not spike BG and can therefore be included in a low carb diet? Is there any evidence for this? Before starting the low carb diet I used a fair amount of lentils and pulses so if that is the...

https://health.spectator.co.uk/the-bbc-is-promoting-carbohydrate-hysteria/ It would be interesting to see other people's opinion of this joker........no qualifications in anything other than a degree in history, but feels he's expertly qualified to spout his drivel at us all. All anecdotal, no...

Hi, I've just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I'm trying to get over the initial shock and have decided to try and up the exercise and go low carb. I'm also vegetarian and I'm finding it a bit hard to get enough to not feel hungry all the time. One of my worries is that I work 13 hour...

Hi, I'm going to ramble a bit, sorry. It's all very new to me. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes on Friday. It was a bit of a shock and a bit upsetting, since I've been losing weight (due to being more active) and just started trying to look after my health better. I had been checking my...

Well my sister and mum were going to Tesco (not a Tesco Express this is a HUGE Tescos in Streatham, London) to grab some food for lunch (sandwiches etc for them) and asked if I wanted a salad or something.. I said I think you will find it difficult to find anything pre-prepared that is low carb...

Is anyone else getting problems with the Low carb programme web site. All of a sudden I either can't log in and or the site doesn't load properly. I'm worried as I'm starting week 1 meal plan tomorrow. I'm sent a message to the help team but issue still not resolved. Maybe it's because it's the...

Hi, I live with my boyfriend since 1 year, he has diabetes 1 since he was 16. His hba1c are always between 8 and 8.9. Because I am the one who cooks at home, I always try to make low carbs meals for us, to help him control the blood sugar level, because he has big issues to control it when we...

Hi all, I am a 33 year old male and was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes on 24 January 2017. I struggled initially with my hypers and my blood sugars were always quite high. Recently I have read a book entitled 'Brightspots and Landmines' and the author suggests a lower carbohydrate diet would...

I really want to go low carb but I'm struggling as I am used to having cereal for breakfast and that won't work with low carb! I can't face eating meat or fish for breakfast and wondered if anyone has any suggestions. Eggs are okay at weekends when I can eat after I've been up for a while but...

Not too long ago, I was at an education night for insulin pump users in my area. The discussion was on low carb diet and how it can help with type 1 diabetes. Has anyone tried it? I've been thinking about it since the session because I always thought it was a bad idea for a type 1 but it all...

Oh MY. I thought I was low carbing, apparently my carb counting needs some work! Just downloaded the app and input what I've eaten today and apparently im over target by after lunch (berries and cream, 2 cups of tea and an omelette) EDIT tea was being counted at 10g carbs a piece. Not cool...

Having just got out of hospital following surgery for esophageal cancer, I'm looking for a very high protein yogurt or smoothie that is low in volume but protein packed, as I can only eat very small amounts, obvs it has to be super low in carbs, not only for my type II LCHF but for my newly...

Afternoon, I was just chuckling to myself about how I polar shop Aldi most basic things (veg/cheese/some sliced meat) and Waitrose for other things (mostly meats). What are your favourite things and where are they from?

I'm a newly diagnosed Type 2 but I am trying and slowly getting to grips with things but please tell me; why if I have a meal one day, it gives me one blood sugar result and a week later, exactly the same meal gives me a totally different reading? I'm cutting my carbs down but last week, had a...

Hi All, Just wanted to share with you a pleasant surprise of support I got from my NP when I visited her yesterday about a different issue. She told me that she had shared my success story at a diabetes conference she was at the other week on diabetes management and "what's new"! She admitted to...

I am a newby to all this finger pricking stuff but I am slowly getting used to things. My biggest problem is breakfast. I am on the low carb diet which seems to be working (so far). I don't want my wife to end up cooking three times a day (I tend to leave more mess and pots so she kindly does...
