This is the detail:
‘I used Josephs Lavash Bread and one sheet for a whole lasagna (cut into pasta sheet shapes) is only 10g. I got 6 portions out of my lasagna which worked out at about 4g net carbs per portion overall.’
Just looked that up, I hadn’t heard of it before, sounds interesting and a lot less faff that the DD psyllium husk one ( although I do like that and I expect it’s lower carb). I hadn’t I heard of your seatfrog app either- that sounds brilliant!
Hi Ann it seems very much to me that youare making progress and dont really understand why she is concerned by a drop of 2.2. I admire how hard you work at this and you deserve to do well, very inspirational member of the forum to me. Good on ya!BG still to high both last night and this morning and rising (13.2 before taking insulin at lunchtime). My diabetes nurse just phoned to say that my thyroxine is fine and my creatinin (spelling?) is better than last time at 30.2 (I'm pretty sure it was 32 last time the Dr checked it some months ago now). Anyway, she wants me to reduce the Metformin to help protect my kidneys. She's quite comfortable with the figures I gave her for BG but thinks 13.2 to 11.0, which is what it is right now, is too big a drop.
4 cups of tea so far today and then lunch at noon was lamb ribs - just marinated in lemon juice, olive oil and salt and roasted in the oven. Did quite a few but will use the remainder to make stock for some other time. A bit too fatty for me (that's saying something).
The lamb ribs sound delish! Love lamb me.Hi Ann it seems very much to me that youare making progress and dont really understand why she is concerned by a drop of 2.2. I admire how hard you work at this and you deserve to do well, very inspirational member of the forum to me. Good on ya!

B: 2 fried eggs on a bed of wilted spinach. Coffee
Lunch: supposed to be mackerel salad but the chicken Id bought for later turned out to be too big for my IP ( @DCUKMod please don’t tell me I can get the larger model this Black Friday!) I had to cut its limbs off so had one of the legs air fried with halloumi chips. Choc chia pud afterwards
D: SIL birthday so a takeaway curry. Starter portion of chicken tikka with the gobi parts of Aloo gobi. 2 glasses Malbec
@maglil55 and @ianpspurs help please. I made some Skinny bread yesterday and had some toasted with breakfast. I was really disappointed - it was spongy and very chewy like an uncooked crumpet. What did I do wrong? Is it meant to rise much when proving? ( mine didn’t, but my house isn’t very warm ) I also think I may not have cooked it for the right time, I forgot to set a time then went off to play with Dennis and had no idea how long it had been in. My guess is under rather than overcooked but the outside was quite dark and it sounded cooked when I tapped its bottom.
@Brunneria I’m the same with eating late, much happier to eat early in the evening these days. Hope you’re having fun with the relatives though, are the dogs being spoilt?
Lots of folks prove their bread dough in their IP. It's not something I have tried, but I think they use the yoghurt setting.
The Facebook group, Google or YouTube could be helpful with the detail.
Well I never! Is there no end to the wonderful abilities of the IP? Thanks for the tip I’ll have a look.
My food fairy proves in the oven on 60 for at least an hour. We make it in 2 pound loaf tin and leave it to rise until it is at the top. We also use the Kenwood with the dough hook for mixing. I have had to learn how our grill works as it needs to be toasted under the grill. Also best cut with the electric slicing machine as it doesn't handle pressure well. Remember however, I know nothing and my tastes are totally left field for you true believers.@maglil55 and @ianpspurs help please.

How can a woman who tries chaffles diss ketchup - audacious chutzpah. To be fair, I have never had so much as 1 bite of a waffle in my life.Thanks, I suspected that proving might be the key. No Kenwood or anything with a dough hook here so maybe a bit more kneading next time.
Nothing wrong with your tastes ( apart from ketchup, yuk!)
