I usually look through the latest threads that are relevant to me to see if anything interesting has come up ( usually recipes in hflc tbh!)
Maybe add my fbg and comment on anything I'm interested in
 
I looked around and I also put a tick in "Other" because I started a thread to introduce myself with a bit of background information I think so it wasn't really a question.
 
I did a lot of food testing for about six months to see which foods raised my blood sugar before I realised there were others out there. I found this site by chance and someone asked a question which I knew the answer to so I just replied. The rest is history.
 
I thought I'd come up with a miracle way of controlling my diabetes (low-carbing) and wondered if any one else had thought of it and I was getting more than a bit bored with my food as I was zero carving. Not to be recommended. So a quick google brought me here. I very quickly realised I had a LOT to learn so lurked for about a month (mainly on the low carb forum) before feeling confident enough to post.

@poshtotty

thank you for your very kind words but I have a fairly thick skin and I suspect the "moderators" wont make the effort this time. I don't bother to post often as I find the forum to be somewhat cliquey at the best of times. Low posting person is not necessarily a valued member of forum in my experience.
