Phill 2,
How are you feeling this morning, or (Night) as good as one can expect to be, with this beast of a condition we've got to deal with, I hope?

I live in Australia so I'm not sure if the Bakery that makes the Low Carb Bread I get, operates in your part of the Globe, or not, but it's made by Helgas Bakeries, and it comes in several varieties, I like the Soy and Toasted Linseed Loaf, but they also make a 5 Grains Loaf and a Quinoa Loaf. I get it at my local Supermarket which is a Woolworths Store, but I'm sure if you try your local supermarket they should have a type of Low Carb Bread in their Breads section, so good luck I hope you find some as it's really worth the look once you find it Ok!

That stuff is pretty heavy on carbs at 35 grams /100.

Herman Brot low carb bread is only 5.4 grams / 100.

Hi Tipetoo,
I hope your doing as well as you expect to be doing, whilst dealing with this beast of a condition, we're all burdened with!!!

First of all thanks for the Heads Up, unfortunately I've not tried counting the Carbs as of yet, as I've only been eating the basic things and the bread I've been getting, it seemed to be doing the job required, but that's a big difference, 35 per 100 down to 5.4 per 100, it's a 29.6 per 100 difference.

Could you advise me as to how you can find the Carb Contents of particular foods, as I only look at the Nutritional Value on the Packaging, to make my choice as to get it, or not. But if there is a way the find the Carb Content of certain Food Items, I'm all ears as it would make the task so much easier than the way I'm doing it at present, any assistance, or recommendation you could pass along, would I assure you, be most welcomed, thank you!

O!! I nearly forgot to Thank You for the link to the lower Carb Bread, I'll try and get some today, or tomorrow, as I live in Sydney, so it shouldn't be that hard to locate a point of sale, around where I reside and again, Thank You very much for your help.

Your link was most helpful as I found several stores in and around my local area so once again Thanks for the Heads Up. I read the Info on the web site and it sounds like a great product to buy.
 

Hi Contralto,
How are you feeling this morning, or (Night) as good as one can expect to be, with this condition to deal with, I hope?

Trementajet are the tablets my GP put me on when I was having an adverse reaction to the Metformin I was taking originally, I have 2 a day am and then pm, after about a month or two of taking them I found that I became sick when I chose to eat certain foods, so I stopped taking the am tablet for several weeks, but I'm now taking them both again.

As for my Carb Calculations I don't know how it's done, so I just rely on the information on the rear panel of most products, as they have the nutritional value of the product per 100 grams,, as well as per serve, so that has become my guide.
 
Here's the nutrition info for Helgas bread, just click on Our Range (top right hand side) then click on any of their eight loaves of bread and scroll down to nutrition info. It will tell you how much carbs are there.

I use a nutrition guide from Fat Secret Australia, which has all of the Australian stores and brands etc in it,

Hi Contralto,

I think the reason you were unable to locate it on the Google Search Tab, was because I spelt it wrong. As I renewed my script this morning I took the information and it's spelling straight from the packetting the tablets came in, so better luck this time, there shouldn't be any problems finding it on the Google Search Tab, this time I hope, so here goes,

(Trajentamet 2.5 mg/1000 mg; or Linagliptin/Metformin HCL 2.5mg/1g Tab 60) ​

I'm sorry I misspelled it and caused you to waste time trying to locate it on the Internet. This is the information that's on the Label that the Chemist put's on the Box the tablets come in, so it's correct for sure, this time, Ok!
 
Tea
B: Berries & Greek yogurt, 2 boiled eggs, milky coffee.
Tea

Coffee.
 
Hi Everyone,
I hope your all doing as well as you'd expect to be doing, today, whilst dealing with this beast of a condition, we're all burdened with!!!

For Breakfast this morning I had 2 Poached Eggs with 2 Slices of Bacon fried in Butter, No Toast as I'm waiting on a very Low Carb Loaf, that was recommended by Tipetoo, in a Post a few days ago.I also had a Hot Coffee, with Milk and Sweeteners, added.

I don't usually have anything to eat at Lunchtime, unless I'm real hungry, which isn't very often, but I do have a Hot Coffee, with Milk and Sweeteners, added.

For Tea I had a Bowl of Homemade Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Soup, with a Packet of Soup Mix Vegetables added, plus a Large Cup of Peas. Then I had a Chicken Schnitzel Fried In Butter and served with Pumpkin, Potatoes and Sweet Potato Mash, Beans, Carrots and Broccoli, with Mushroom and Garlic Gravy, followed by a Hot Coffee with Milk and Sweeteners added.
