Can some of you e-mail Tesco and ask about them stocking these Carisma potatoes as the article I found from 2013 said Tesco was in talks with the producer in Australia. I have already e-mailed them and they said they will pass the e-mail on to their buying department, but I'm sure if enough people showed an interest they would be more inclined to do something about it.
Low carb spud lite's are in short supply here in Bundy they had no stock at the Woolies supermarket we use yesterday. Maybe Thursday or Friday.Can some of you e-mail Tesco and ask about them stocking these Carisma potatoes as the article I found from 2013 said Tesco was in talks with the producer in Australia.
@Administrator is it possible to get a number of people that have posted in or read the Low Carb forum? Maybe for the last 6 months or something? Just thinking it might be good to do a message to Tesco giving them an idea of the current/potential demand for LC foods.
Or a % of traffic that goes through that forum maybe - so we could tell them eg. "25% of diabetics on the site have shown interest in Low Carbing" and then apply that % to the total diabetic population? I'm guessing that would be a fair number of potential customers for them to consider! (note: I know that's quite a leap given we're a special kind of 'engaged' diabetics/pwd but it doesn't hurt to use the stats in our favour)
You ought to give Sainsbury's the same message for a bit of competition.Good idea! Will get on the case with @Giverny tomorrow!
These Vivaldi potatoes are lovely .....and are lower in carbs ....very tasty , we always eat them ...How low carb are they? A while back @Sid Bonkers posted about a variety in UK called Vivaldi (available from Sainsbury's when I last looked) which were lower carb than some.
Yes I have, and tested before and after the meal containing Spud Lite's and my bgl has been at a acceptable level. I normally eat two mall ones or one big one as, I use portion control as well as a moderate lchf menu.Had anyone actually... Tested their blood sugar after eating these?
Yeah, IDK.... Define acceptable? I am off all meds now and control solely by diet. My goal is to never go over 120. Pretty sure these would Spike me into an unsafe rangeYes I have, and tested before and after the meal containing Spud Lite's and my bgl has been at a acceptable level.

Acceptable to me is between 100 and 150 grams carbs daily as it says in my sig.Yeah, IDK.... Define acceptable? I am off all meds now and control solely by diet. My goal is to never go over 120. Pretty sure these would Spike me into an unsafe range
However it is just for the aussies atm.
Yeah, sorry. At 22 grams of carbs in one serving that would definitely spike me into a range I don't want to go. Thought it was too good to be true. I can have 5-6 grams off carbs per meal and not spike. Anything more than that and I'm spiking WAY above 120. I keep my A1C at 4.7-4.9.Acceptable to me is between 100 and 150 grams carbs daily as it says in my sig.
With the Spud Lites I precook the small bag of 0.75 grams in the microwave for 15 minutes. I put them in the fridge,, and when needed I reheat them by putting the spuds I use for the meal back in the microwave for a couple of minutes. They are not bad browned up in a non stick fry pan either.
My weekly bgl is about 5.8 at the moment, which my GP is happy with.
I am happy with my hba1c the last one in February 2022 - 5.7% / 39 mmol / mol.I keep my A1C at 4.7-4.9.
We could not get Spudlites to strike.Think you could smuggle some seed potatoes through New Zealand customs??? (I suspect not, unfortunately).
