Message: <blockquote data-quote="DavyG" data-source="post: 1328042" data-attributes="member: 360485">[USER=355878]@Resurgam[/USER] I just looked on food.com at souffle omelettes and they look tasty and filling, when I saw the word souffle I instantly thought flour oh no! but it's not like a baked souffle, it makes omelettes fluffy without flour. I'm already imagining button mushrooms warmed through in butter then cooked in a fluffy omelette with a little cheese.[USER=355485]@Jogreen21[/USER] Hi Jo yes I've found so many useful threads on here and everyone is so kind to take the time to help, I was told I was diabetic over the phone I haven't seen a doctor, it took a few weeks to even see a nurse and I was feeling a little lost, no advice, what to do, what to eat, when to eat and lots of contradictions, but here people take time to share the experience that they have and not only does that make me feel confident to follow the suggestions and advice, I don't feel lost any more. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />That must be difficult with an eating disorder, I'm trying to keep track of the things that causes me to spike and avoid them and my metformin has suppressed my appetite to the point that I almost make myself eat at times in order to take my tablet, but some of the recipes I'm seeing look really tasty and I'm looking forward to trying them. But for you.... your disorder must really make a big impact on your spikes. So I guess you are fighting 2 battles.[USER=119220]@mo53[/USER] I haven't really been counting carbs but you've made me realise that I should. I've cut out all sugar, white bread and flour based products are at a minimum. but I seemed to have hit a level and cannot drop any lower. So I think monitoring my carb intake will help me get my BG down and keep it down. I don't think that app works on an android only an iphone but I can use it from my pc and keep track.  Thank you.[USER=327005]@CherryAA[/USER]  Bread doesn't take me over 9, I'd prefer it stayed under 8 (I'd prefer if it had no effect on my BG <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> ) luckily as my appetite has started to diminish I have lost my craving for high carb large meals. In the past I would never consider eating any meal without bread to make me fill full, but looking at the souffle omelette or a steak I can see me eating either of them without bread so I will see if I can cut right back. I'm getting some multi vitamins today, but I cannot think of a way that I can eat vegetables unless they were hidden so I couldn't see, smell or taste them, The most powerful memory from my childhood is being force to eat a sprout as a 5 year old and over 50 years later I can remember with horror the nausea it caused me. But I love fruit (even green fruit <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> ) so I hope the nutrients are still in them but obviously they have natural sugar and they do not come with a food label to tell me which is high or low. The only thing I have been told is grapes and bananas are high in sugar.</blockquote>
