Glad the results of your Diabetic Retinopathy were good. Wondering if your BG level stayed down after your toast yesterday. Sometimes it takes many hours before my BG goes down after carbs. Even with very little food - and that only eggs - BG didn't drop down to being in range. As you say, it can be confusing at times.Morning all. My Diabetic Retinopathy results came back negative thank heavens. My A1c went up from 51 to 58 but hopefully I can do something about that. Yesterday I was expecting the Electrician at 12 so just had a tin of tomato soup and put some chicken seasoning in. For tea, I had a poached egg plus ham on normal toast. And my level came down??? Maybe I need a few more carbs than I've been having?It can be so confusing at times. Anyway, have a great weekend folks.
Apologies for butting in, but what are seedy crackers? I've sworn off crackers for cheese, but if there's a low carb alternative near me I'd love to know about it. (I'm on the Hampshire coast.)You'll be driving above & past me as I'm in South Hampshire. A pain that there's a lack in both stores for you, maybe if you get a chance look in either one where you're going. The weather forecast is looking a bit grim, so it seems you'll get a chance to make some. Crazy that they're not available everywhere though.
I keep the seeds in the freezer having bought far too many while on sale.I make a "near enough" copy, updated to use a full packet of mixed seeds from lidl. Recipe is in my cmt.
Occasionally I find the Olinas ones on a local market stall, among all the cheap sweets and cakes!
Don't apologise, neighbour! These are they... https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/olinas-gluten-free-seeded-crackers/829405-791235-791236 Round, crispy, very seedy & quite nice.Apologies for butting in, but what are seedy crackers?

Thank you. I feel a trip to my local Waitrose coming on.Don't apologise, neighbour! These are they... https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/olinas-gluten-free-seeded-crackers/829405-791235-791236 Round, crispy, very seedy & quite nice.
This evening will be roast duck with cavolo nero & some crispy sprouts.
I have erythritol and stevia in my cupboard for baking. I'm not a fan of either used separately, but in combination the results are acceptable.A question from my friend, who loves baking:
My friend and her family have a relatively newly diagnosed T2 over for dinner every friday. The T2 friend has recently discovered the effects of low carb eating with the help of my friend.
I've never used sweeteners myself, so that's one thing I can't advise her on.
So what's everyone's sweetener of choice for baking? (She doesn't have dogs so that's not an issue.)
Don't do a lot of baking for sweets, but when I do it's Erythritol that I use. Have had a couple of disasters with it tho', for instance I tried to make a custard tart with it, don't know what went wrong but the Erythritol crystalised in a layer at the bottom, and it tasted horrible. I've put Erythritol in pouring custard, cocoa, and things like that with success. For squirting over food like you'd do with a raspberry sauce, I use faux maple syrup (Good Good) from Amazon, it's pricy as it's an indulgence, it's very nice and I can't tell the difference from the real thing.A question from my friend, who loves baking:

I use eyrithritol if you can get it mixed with monkfruit that's a really nice mix otherwise I'd just use eyrithritol powdered is good for baking.A question from my friend, who loves baking:
