Breakfast when Low Carb

[Heathenlass]

Yes that's good to remember, I had home made latte banana and because it's Saturday I had a Mini croissant ! Does anyone know can you buy coconut flour in Newcastle on Tyne or area?

@Redbegonia, Yup!
It's available from the Asian stores on Westgate road. Much cheaper and bigger packs than found in supermarkets I also get big bags of ground almonds and similar when I venture in to stock up about twice a year!

Signy

My diabetic nurse said on no account eat bananas in any shape or form, so there we are. What's food for the goose etc

Lol! - My DN suggested both bananas and pineapple as an ideal snack food! - And that was AFTER we'd had a long discussion about me eating low carb. To add insult to ignorance, if she'd checked my file, she'd have seen that I'm allergic to both bananas and pineapple!!

Ha! Watch this space! Seeing her again at the end of the month. I can't wait to see what she's going to come up with next.
Seriously, I don't know why they make us go. We're big kids now. If you want the "help" then great, but if you know you're just going to end up sitting there listening to someone who knows very little about diabetes, looking confused and making vague suggestions, what's the point? - I can tickle my own feet!

Hmm, didn't know that saying no was an option. I'm going to try that.
Thinking of changing practices anyway. This one makes way too many mistakes. - Mostly because they don't read notes. The only reason I'm still there is that the nurse practitioner is nice (she made most of the notes on my file and acts on them!) and the senior doctor is good. (- he fixes the other doctors screw ups!) The other eight or so are shocking. - I've been diagnosed 16 months. The nurse practitioner did all the leg work and I saw the doctor for 5 min to get a prescription. I haven't even met the diabetic "team". - If you include the appointment when I went in to ask them to check me for diabetes and the one where I got my first prescription two days later, I have had precisely 3 diabetes related appointments in 15 months. What's the point?
