The crackers and oatcakes are not good.
Full fat yoghurt is better.
Sorry, bloody pads just thrown the post out in gobbledeegook.
No need to worry you are doing fine. Just have a look at the carbs, if the carb count per hundred grams is over five, don't have it.
Keep looking at the recipes and at all the diets and find one that suits you.
Meat is a protein and doesn't contain carbs. It is the one type of food that I can eat all day without my blood levels going up. You are probably mixing them up with calories. Get yourself reading the forum, you seem to have been given the wrong info.Re meat, I'd read that protein turns to sugar, so best of replacing with fat? When I stArted to cut the carbs down originally, I didn't replace it with anything, so my calorie intake dropped to about 700 per day, and I lost 8 lbs in 3 weeks. I am my right weight now, and don't want to lose any more, so I've tried replacing with fat to make up the calories.

Which sugars is the crucial one, but all carbs convert to sugar. Myself, carbs are a poison to me and I have to stay away from them. I only get my carbs from low GI fruit and veg. You have to have them, but not many and the fat you eat converts what you need.
That's right.Cream contains less sugar than milk. So I'm guessing that full fat dairy products are better if you're keeping your carb intake to a minimum. I found that cow's milk raised my blood sugar a lot, so I've switched to unsweetened Soya milk now. Much less sugar.

There are many dietary advice on here and elsewhere. You have to find what makes you happy, and what you are happy eating. Any carbs make me feel ill, unless I take my meds. A lot of diabetics can eat carbs of various GI levels. You can mix your intake and many recipes involve plenty of variation like in soups etc. I eat plenty of protein and salads. Keep looking at the advice on the forum under the headings in the search box.
Why do you get hypos?
It is the total carbs that count. not the sugar part. All carbs turn into sugar.I stopped the milk. But all the "normal" full fat yoghurts I have looked at all seemed to have a minimum of 9 grams per 100 carbs that converts to sugar. I even looked at Greek yoghurt but that didn't seem any better. The only ones I can find that have 5g per 100 or less is ACTIMEL 0% & Flora yoghurt. Can anyone suggest any brand names to look at?

Have you looked into Soya yoghurt? Soya milk has less sugar than milk, so maybe the same applies to Soya yoghurt?

it is total carbs that count not just sugar.I've just googled soya yoghurt, I've found one that has 10g of sugar per 100g, another that's 9.5g, there's only one that shows 2.3g but you have to buy it by the bucket load! The one I have is 3.3 g per 100 g

It is total carbs that matters. not just sugar.Does it mention that it is unsweetened? I used to use Soya yoghurt a few years ago and that was unsweetened. But I know a lot of companies that add sugar to Soya products to make it taste nicer. It can be very annoying, can't it?
