[QUOTE="Paul_, post: 2700417, member: 578575"] Tony, as a T2 diabetic myself, I am of course authorised to speak on behalf of all T2 diabetics and say we forgive you! :hilarious: More than anything else, this will build up some slack for us when we T2's stray into a T1 thread and offer our "wisdom", which is almost certainly unsuitable for the topic at hand for a T1! I'm all seriousness though, I think [USER=580511]@retrogamer[/USER] is more specifically enquiring about "convenience" low carb/keto food availability in supermarkets. Sure, there's loads of obvious low carb/keto food for diet managed T2 diabetics, but a) many of these require prepping/cooking, or b) if you're new to diet management of T2, it can be daunting to suddenly have so much convenience with food removed post-diagnosis, and c) online keto and low carb suppliers are expensive, so supermarket supply would naturally reduce prices significantly. [USER=580511]@retrogamer[/USER] - You might already have these, or possibly the pricing is prohibitive, but just in case here are the low carb / keto online suppliers I use with varying frequency (note - some of these suppliers offer products with varying carb values, check the nutritional info suits your needs before ordering): [URL]https://handcraftedbread.co.uk/low-carb-range/[/URL] (rolls and pizza bases are very good, best I've found) [URL]https://carbzone.co.uk/[/URL] (low carb pasta and rice products are pretty decent) [URL]https://ketoroma.com/[/URL] (good for keto cakes, although contain erythritol just in case that's an issue, but wraps and pastry sheets are also good in my opinion) [URL unfurl="true"]https://deliciouslyguiltfree.com/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://srslylowcarb.com/[/URL] [URL]https://robertsdorset.com/[/URL] (really good pork crackling, avoid the fudge obviously :)) Edit 1 - for completeness and transparency, I have no affiliation with any of these suppliers, or incentive to recommend them, these are just suppliers I've personally found to be useful and had recommended to me by others here. Edit 2 - Pro-tip: It's worth checking out some "high protein" products in supermarket ranges, rather than looking for "low carb" or "keto". Not 100% reliable, watch out for maltitol content, but it can deliver some additional options to your searches. For example, a pack of 2 boiled eggs in Tesco are called an "Egg Protein Pot" - with many other examples across all supermarkets. No one seems to want to mention carbs, so "high protein" is apparently sometimes secret code for it in the food industry. [/QUOTE]
