[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 1859449, member: 468055"] I love konjac rice, it’s in the H&B Penny Sale at the moment of you want to stock up! I do low carb/keto because I spent 20 years trying to get the standard NHS nutritional guidelines with injecting for the carbs right and failed miserably at it. Made the switch in the new year after a major panic when I hurriedly misread the info on the back of a pack of spaghetti and took a huge insulin overdose that needed the paramedics to help. I liked Bernstein’s “law of small numbers” - small amounts of carbs means small doses of insulin, which means less potential for mistakes. Insulin is our best friend, but if we get the dose wrong, it can lead to trouble. I’m not nearly as anxious now - I always had the fear of a major hypo in the back of my mind, I think - although I didn’t realise it at the time. Once I’ve eaten and taken a small dose that isn’t enough to make me hypo, I can forget about treating diabetes for a few hours and get on with my day. I do have a Libre sensor, so I can easily and quickly see where I’m at, but on the whole it doesn’t change much. Also, turnips make fab chips :) [/QUOTE]
