Yes, not had any since last Thursday night, I never was on much (8 units morning, 20 evening) but I've never gone this low carb before, I feel great, so much energy, lost a ridiculous amount of weight already but I assume that's water retention? and will slow up, still having metformin though. I watched a video by Dr. Jason Fung and he really explained the whole type 2 diabetes thing that made sense to me this time and the insulin resistance, hence no insulin, maybe I should of weaned myself slowly but where's the fun in that I just need to maintain this regime, but I keep telling myself I gave up smoking so I can give up carbs, and it helps with the wife being on board now also, my goal is just to stay off insulin (bored of the regime and having to eat at set times ie. 30 mins after injected, hypos not nice,so anything extra is a brucie bonus!
 
Yoghurt with chopped Grapes for Breakfast.
Chicken Salad, Carrot and Cucumber Sticks and some Crisps for Lunch.
Chicken with tons of veggies for Dinner.
Had a small lot of Peanuts also for a Snack today
 
What veggies were in your soup? They could be responsible for the 8.4 .......or you are coming down with something
 
Dinner: I heard that people use the same nine recipes on average over & over so I opened our old M&S cookbook at random for a bit of a change and found a Rose Eliot recipe for layered pancake and veggie lasagne with cheese sauce. It took 5 eggs, half a pound of cheese, a 400g tin of chestnut puree that cost £3.45 from the deli and three hours in the kitchen, and it tasted boring boring boring. Plus there's half of it left.
However, I discovered that pancakes made with gram flour are quite nice and safe for me so not entirely fruitless.

Never to late to eat if you are hungry - I can't sleep if I am hungry
 
Breakfast: Well buttered crust of fresh bread
Dinner: 3 scrambled eggs with cheese, slice of toast well buttered
Tea: Naughty sausage chips and gravy 7.5 at 2 1/2 hours; 7.2 at 3 hrs
Snack: popcorn/peanut bar, cinnamon hazelnut butter out of the pot as I was deciding what to have it with, sugarfree jelly and cream, chunks of cheese - yes, I've had the munchies today......
 
I had 2 buttered croissants with coffee, a Turkey sandwich, chocolate fingers (naughty), salmon with potato, carrots and brocolli!

Then i had a massive hypo so i had a glucose tablet and some shreddies!

I can't either - had a couple of strawberries and some cream in the end, felt full and slept really well! But having lost 12kg quite fast I've now plateaued, so am trying to eat smaller quantities and to stop eating by about 7pm as a rule!

2 weetabix and a cup of tea yum yum

Weetabix?! So you aren't diabetic? Maybe T1? Or recently in remission?

Edit - OK, saw in your info you are T1. I think the forum should show which type users are because for T2s not on insulin (and even some T2s who are) a T1 rightfully enjoying some carby food as part of their insulin controlled diet routine may be giving T2s the wrong picture - it's confusing.
 
I agree. A lot of newbies are advised to look at this thread for low carb food ideas. It could be confusing for them.
