BS readings

I was initially dx and put on insulin. I found I was just needing more and more. I was 4 stone overweight and lost 2 stone and was able to come off insulin. Then I got a bit complacent and came back to rhe forum started lchf and lost the other 2 stone and here I am

Hi brettsza, I could eat spinach paneer every single day... My favourite subjee of all time

Are you able to eat roti or paratha or do you find they cause a spike?

I eat 1 wholemeal roti in afternoon and 1 for dinner but I try and skip in the afternoon. If I do I eat two in the night just to make up my bs is ok after that spikes by about .5 after two hours. But I only use wholemeal. My roti is about 15 to 20g carb so I am able to eat 2 easy
 
I think you have half the forum members Drooling over the keyboards. The other half have yet to find this thread.

I've just noticed your hba1c figures in your signature ... That's a Fantastic achievement in just 3 months Well Done!

May I ask how you did you get your figures so low? Did you eat low carb indian food? Or something else?
 
I think I'd be happy with that.
 
I'm British Indian and love cooking indian food. In fact since I'm cutting down on carbs I'm gearing more and more towards simple and delicious Indian cooking made fragrant with herbs and spices. I've a lot to learn what's low carb and not.... The research begins
 
@ally1. Hi there are you feeling any better Ally? I saw you are taking cough medicine and concerned at the sugar in it? You were right its full of it. But you can get sugar free cough medicine in most pharmacies
 
Ally, Robitussun cough medicines are sugar free and sort out chesty or dry coughs
Hope you feel better real soon
 
Tonight's salad it's tomatoes carrots cucumber avacado some cheddar cheese beetroot lettuce olives and jalapeños with some olive oil black pepper and salt. Just came back to see my figure at 4 will have salad and some roasted chicken and that's it.
Rose yes just loads of low carb Indian food and massive help from everyone here on the forum so credit goes to them more than me.
