Hi Luvtcook
Apparently the Jamie Oliver book has been the no 1 best seller this year, and applauded not just by the likes of you and me, but also by many food critics (they did a review of cookery books for Christmas on Radio 4’s “The Food Programme” and this book got high praises). Yes, there’s a chapter on pasta dishes to ignore (though I guess some of the sauces would work with spiralised courgette or squash) but a lot of the meat/chicken/fish dishes are perfect for BSD. There are some that use peanut butter that I”m dying to try….but with my dodgy gallbladder I have to be a bit careful with fats. Just tried full fat greek yogurt (I normally have fat free) so hoping it goes well and I don’t wake up in pain! Tastes SO good!

After a smaller loss in week 2 than week 1, I gained a small amount of weight this week, despite following the guidelines even more closely than before, drinking more water and getting more exercise. Bought some keto test strips and not surprised to see high levels of ketones, given that my carbs are <20gms/day and I’m eating the recomended amounts of fat and protein…I keep reading that if you are in ketosis you cannot fail to lose weight…well….

Still pleased to have lost just under 3 kg in 3 weeks but I hope that this is not where the success ends (as it has on every other eating plan I have followed in the past twenty years). It seems like my body takes a few weeks to work out what I’m doing and then sets up some kind of counter-strategy that puts a halt to things. Still feeling very motivated to continue and see what happens this week.

Thanks for your thoughts! I think I will try the BSD first…Let’s see if I can get to 8 weeks! ;-D

I have been advised to avoid dairy, but want to start the BSD, can we substitute dairy – if so what with, or should I just remove dairy from the recipes? Which would reduce the calories? any ideas please?

Kazz, my dear sweet friend! I had access to the “main frame” email p.c. today, and read
thru your messages. I not only have a huge smile on my face, but have prevailed upon
the “old bearded one” to do some work this evening on my p.c. to see if we can test
this techno problem and get it solved once and for all. I know that you’re tucked up
for the night and hopefully in dreamland after a weekend spent with those that mean
the most to you. Hope that I will have some good news by the morning. Please be
patient with me, this is driving me nuts!!!! :):):)

Hugs,

Allie

Hi all especially you Marie. 😄 Thank you for your enquiries. I hippie your uncle is ok and recovering well from his fall.

I am sorry I haven’t been in touch. I have been meaning to but something keeps getting in the way or I just completely forget! I feel a little like Panda Beat had been lost in the woods! to be honest. All is well and my results have been fantastic (more on this in a minute) but these past 4 weeks I have been struggling with terriblterrible lethargy and no motivation. I am not sure if it is diet related or if it is hormonal being pre-menopausal but it really had been awful. I ran out of vitamins around week 5 and have only just gone back on them these past few days so I am hoping they will make a difference.

I have now got my official results back from the doctor for the BSD. My cholesterol is back in the normal range. Which is amazing after everything we have been told about fat and eating all that oil, butter, full cream milk etc.

My BGL is the most exciting. I went from a fasting BGL of 13.6 to…..

5.6! Yay! Yay! Yay! NORMAL!!!!!!! 😃
Without drugs just pure Michael Mosley! 😀

My plan now is to stick to 1000 cals most days over the holidays and eat within the 8 hr window which gives me a little fast each day. I didn’t really try this 8 hr thingy during the 8 weeks but have since found it incredibly successful in dropping the pounds.

My official result for weight loss was 10kgs about 10% of my body weight. So determined never to put this back on! I am throwing out my clothes that are now too big. Not keeping them in the wardrobe just in case! I am still keen to get into the normal range but feel Ineed a bit of a break from the calorie counting and just want to establish now a routine that works.

Hope you all having an activity-packed holiday that is kind and supportive of your waistlines! Kisses and hugs to all!!!!!!! Looking forward to catching up in the challenges.

Thanks Mixnmatch. It really is so comforting to see so many real life success stories on this forum, many that have lost an enormous amount of weight….and so many like yourself that have kept it off. It just all seems too good to be true and hard not to wait for the brick wall that always appeared about this time just when you thought you had it licked.

Only time will truely prove it to me. Till then, keep’n the faith baby.

Congratulations on your Maintenanceversary and here’s to years 2, 3 and more… 😁 I know you are focused on never going back to the type 2 diabetic health problems, but don’t forget to take a moment (or two) to look at how much better you feel apart from that. I hope you have a lovely time exploring all the possibilities of the rest of your healthier lifestyle.

There is no bubble to burst, this is real. I am with you in having the experience that I feel that something will happen, it will prove to have been an illusion and ‘normal life’ will resume, but it hasn’t happened. Over a year now from the end of my 8 weeks, 18 months from the start of my adherence to this WOE and it is more clear than ever. There is no going back, only forwards into the rest of our lives (hopefully longer than they would have been otherwise). So much has changed, that although I have reconnected with many previous foodie favourites over the past year, I now no longer see them as such, and as the occasional ‘extra’ they have done me no harm. I had never considered that this state was possible or that it would be so ‘easy’ to get there or stay there. Keep the faith, keep on keeping on and this will be the same for you. It really is a game changer.

Haven’t posted for a few days – work has been manic lately.

Today is my one year on maintenance anniversary. As a yo yo dieter par excellence – it is a truly stunning achievement and I couldn’t have done it without this forum. Before typing ‘par excellence’ I checked with Google to make sure it meant what I thought it did. Collins dictionary says that it means ‘ to a degree of excellence, beyond comparison’. That so describes just how good I was at yo yo dieting.

Thank goodness for the BSD and everyone on this forum – there is no way I could have done it without you all. So here’s to year 2 on maintenance.

Cactus is a brilliant word! I think goosed might be a particularly Scottish word but as I’ve lived more than half of my life here, i think I’m entitled to use the lingo.

I discovered today how to use my fitness pal properly, (after installing it months ago!) and so had a look back at what I’ve been eating for the past three weeks, andmy carbs have been much higher than I thought. I’m often going over 50g a day, so I think I’m going to try and cut back a bit to nearer thirty. I think any less might be a problem, because I love my veggies. Are you all tracking your carbs, or just avoiding the real baddies? I keep having a look at posts on a some keto forums, but they seem to be a tad extreme…

Allie, no stall yet and to be honest, I am really going great guns for now. To date, have lost exactly 23 lbs in 7 weeks on BSD (and 2 lbs the prior week before I started it, for a total of 25 since mid Oct).

So well pleased, goes without saying. I just am wondering if clipping along at this rate is too much to hope for and frankly looking for problems when none exist at the present time (you can retire from the job but the “find icebergs in the water before you hit them” radar is still very much active. Can’t help myself). And the loss is on top of at least some muscle gain, as I am lifting weights twice a week and can now do more reps with arms….and have been able to increase the resistance on the eliptical I do twice a week for legs.

So very much interested in how your weight loss journey went…..whether fairly predictable and even week to week, or in spite of keeping to the plan did you have plateaus such as are common for low calories/low fat diets? Hoping the answer is NO.

This diet is just a game changer for me. Have never ever ….ever ever ….. lost weight so fast and so easily, felt so not hungry, had ample energy, and a such a positive mood. I have been able to walk the straight and narrow, been good as gold, and BSD has rewarded me. Waiting for the bubble to burst. But hope not.

Thanks Eliza52….and the cod recipe sounds wonderful too. I think you just talked me into buying myself that Jamie Oliver cookbook. I have a shocking number of cookbooks… . have no place to put another one so the rule is “one in, one has to go to”…donate to the library. The easy part for the last couple of years was to ditch all the old “low fat/low calorie” ones”. But they are long gone now….so the decisions are getting harder, but this one sounds worth the bother. I love Jamie Olivers recipes….he respects his ingredients and doesn’t over fuss with silly extras.

Thanks so much!

How wonderful about your ring Marie! Double wonderful because it will remind you of your husband’s affection…..and a wonderful badge to mark your weight loss.

I can’t say I am angry….maybe annoyed?….that medicine got it so wrong about weight loss and we kept digging ourselves in deeper and deeper with repeated “last diet forever” endevours, only to gain it all back and then some in spite of best efforts.

I have spend the last 27 year both hungry all the time and embarassed about my weight gain. If you have never watched any of Dr. Jason Fung’s videos, watch this one title THE CALORIE DECEPTION

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F5o0a4p_3U.

He oversees a diabetes weight loss program the puts patients on an alternate day fasting schedule similar to the one advocated by Dr. Krista Vereday (highlighted in M Mosely’s Horizon program on 5:2).

The point he makes is the medicine knew the advise to cut calories and increase activiey had a 98% failure rate, yet they continued to advocate it. And when patients actually doing the diet continued to see their base metabolic rate drop and regain the weight on a level even below what should have been maintenance for them, they blamed the patient for somehow failing the do the program “correctly”.

Its nice that he and the Moselys of the world appreciate the frustration we all have been dealing with.

After that ramble….must get back to a positive thought. The good news is …they did figure it out while we all have a change to regain some lost years of our lives, and even extend our lives significantly with this WOE. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

Marie….enjoy your ring!!!! You have 10 years to catch up on.

Hi Flick, 4 weeks rigid BSD is fab, well done on controling the cravings and swerving the cashews. How fabulous that you feel so well and enjoyed your day with your daughter – even in the nightmare of IKEA!

Hi VictoriaM, well done on getting rid of that 1lb, you must be so pleased. I’m with you on the pud thing. My favourite now is frozen strawberries, blueberries and raspberries warmed in oven with spoon Fage, splash cream and topped with almonds. Eaten slowly is heaven!

H Mokovex, thanks, another stone off and hopefully they will go over my hips. I love your garden path analogy, we’re all trampling our way through at different rates and it’s lovely we have each other for support. I’m so annoyed with myself for drifting away last year instead of staying and asking for help. Hopefully I’m here to stay this time 🙂

Unfortunately, my blow outs really are blow outs. Broke the dam with a cheesymite scroll, and ended up with char kwayteow, iced Milo and chocolate for dinner.

I need to remember how ravenous going for a swim makes me, and prep ahead. Today, I’ve got all my food properly planned and ready to go. Just need to keep my fingers out of the chocolate bowl at work. I need to work on Lucia’s small steps/chunking down.

Wish me luck for the day.

Weight: 76.8
Waist: 103

Marie123, how lovely you found a hoard of favourite clothes just waiting for you and fitting again, congratulations!

SueBlue – congrats on your bargain jeans and down 2 sizes to 18, that’s so close to your 14 – 16 goal, well done, you must be delighted! I’m sure you’ll get there in next to no time.

Hi Luvtcook, yes it’s lovely to be able to get rid of a bag full of too big clothes and get smaller ones for next to nothing. I’m looking forward to hearing your 8 week results soon, I’m sure you’ve done brilliantly. Love reading all your meal ideas too.

Luvtcook, SueBlue, Marie123, Mokovex, VictoriaM & Flick – I’ve just spent half an hour drafting a huge reply to you all and accidentally deleted the lot! Arrggghhh! Will try again separately this time, not making that mistake again.

Hi Blah

It’s good advice from JackieM. I remember one of the best pieces of advice I read on here (sorry to say can’t remember who said it) was if you are going to break the diet it’s better to have too many calories than the wrong type of food.

I’ve had far too much Fage yoghurt tonight – again! But, as you say, it’s a brand new day tomorrow. Stick with it.

Marie x

Yes Jande we have Atlantic salmon and I do like the texture of ‘steamed’ fish. I just don’t manage to cook it through, I don’t like it pink in the middle, if I pan fry or open roast it. I guess it’s horses for courses.

Much easier than the oven is the microwave. Put the salmon (I do two at a time – or one if just for me) in a small shallowish dish (deep enough for the salmon not to stick up above the level of the dish). Grind black pepper over them, and squeeze juice of half a lemon on them. Cover (I use microwave cling film) and microwave on full for about 2 1/2 mins for two pieces of about 120 gms each (about 1 1/2 mins for one piece – then check). You want it JUST flaking. So most and succulent. Morrisons (UK) do the best lightly smoked salmon pieces (I don’t mean the thin stuff you eat for starters or with scrambled eggs, but rather pieces of salmon just like the regular stuff, but lightly smoked – looks virtually the same. This is so much nicer than the regular stuff, we rarely eat the normal stuff just on it’s own (ok made into Jamie Olivers fishcakes though!). Great to do in the summer too as you don’t need to turn on the oven. So saves on the electricity or gas bill as well.

Hey there Blah, what counts as a blowout? I wonder if you are being a bit hard on yourself? Also you don’t gave to give up for whole day, just make the next meal better. I ‘cheat’ all the time, but with low carb yummies so my blowouts still fit into BSD even if the calories don’t. Then over time your blood sugar will stabilise and it will get easier. So if it was crisps, for example, next time eat cheese or nuts (even roasted or salted ones – not peanuts tho!) and then at least you are making it better for when you can face the 800 calories. You’ve been making such great strides, don’t be disheartened!

The Dawn phenomenon works all the time even in non diabetics but, of course, it has little effect on them and they are not constantly testing. It is a natural process of the body.

Hi, everyone. I’m really enjoying this focus on salmon! We eat it 2-3 x a week for the
heart healthy Omega3 fats. The technique that we find to be foolproof with Pacific
wild salmon is to sear it on the stove top in avocado oil, then roast at a relatively
high temp for 8-10 min. If you remove it from the oven before it is fully cooked, it
will continue to cook in the roasting pan. Dry salmon is a thing of the past for
us using this technique. Might be worth a try?

Allie

Hi Verano,
I prefer not to wrap the salmon but to just fashion a tray with the foil and leave the fish exposed to the broiler. When you broil the fish it gets a nice crust and it doesn’t dry out.
When you wrap it the fish it steams which gives it a different texture.
Pacific salmon goes dry when overcooked but not so much for trout or Atlantic salmon which are more forgiving. Even wrapping Pacific salmon doesn’t really help as it is hard to check when it is done.
I’ve lived on the West Coast of Canada for most of my life and it pains me to say this, but Atlantic salmon is better.
Jan

Excellent, Marie 🙂 🙂 🙂 I’m delighted that the link actually worked! My track record
has been less than stellar of late. A real techno-dunce, I’m afraid. Have fun!

Allie
Yes, I’ve just been enjoying myself browsing through the jewellery on the link to the etsy.com site – nice!
Marie x

That’s fantastic, Marie! We’re having fun, aren’t we? 🙂

My positive for today is also about a ring that I haven’t been able to wear for years.

My husband bought me a really lovely ring as an early birthday present when we were down in Cornwall one summer – must be easily 10 years ago, probably more. It just fit then. Ironically, I remember the conversation about it with the shop owner. I told him not to worry about the snug fit as I’d just lost 2 stone with WW’s, was going to lose more and had no intention of putting the weight back on, ever. You can guess the rest……

I tried it on a few weeks ago. It fit but was just a bit tight. Tried it on this morning and it fits perfectly. I’m definitely going to wear it on Christmas Day as a surprise for my husband.

My fasting blood sugar has started to go up over the last couple of weeks to around 6.1.

It had dropped to between 3.1 and 4.7 since being on the diet. I’ve been doing it for around 21 weeks, could the dawn phenomenon be at work after all this time?

My post dinner results (2 hours approx after eating) is between 3 and 5.8.

I needed to look up this site for you, Essie. It’s the actual one where I ordered my
Spanish leather and bead bracelets from, at greatly reduced prices. One advantage
is that you send your wrist measurement to Madrid. The site is Etsy.com and the
name of the “shop” is “OtroAccesorio”. I’m going to post a link also, but you know
my level of proficiency with the computer! Fast delivery, reasonable shipping costs,
and over 100 styles. Sharing this is the least I can do after my saturday night blunder!

Hey Kazz, sounds like you had a great evening and did amazingly well in the face of temptation whilst doing so. You must be chuffed with that new NSV – justifiably so.

My Aga is unhappy at the moment and not behaving well, so isn’t holding enough heat for me to cook on. This means I’m having to cook using my duel microwave/grill – not ideal. This evening think we are going to have an Indian take-away though – BSD friendly as far as possible of course.

For the positives today:
1. Weight stable and so still 3lb under target.
2. Another batch of present wrapping done.
3. Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are endless.~ Quote from Mother Teresa

I’m greatly relieved, Essie! Talk to you soon..

LTC. All good questions! I’d really like to give you a thoughtful reply based on your
particular experience over the past 7 weeks. If you are comfortable sharing this
information, would you tell us your weekly losses, average daily calories, and average
daily net carbs? Also, what role do you see sweeteners playing in your life now and
in your future maintenance? What has been your experience with “stalls” to date?
Simple questions aren’t always as simple as they look 🙂 🙂 🙂

Allie

Hi Luvtcook

IT’s this one – https://www.ocado.com/webshop/product/Tracklements-Chilli-Jam/45208011?from=search&tags=%7C20000&param=chilli+jam&parentContainer=SEARCHchilli+jam. (looking at the photo in Jamie’s excellent book, it’s this brand he used, and it happened to be the one we could order – don’t normally shop in Ocada/Waitrose, but I like the non-pasteurised brown miso from there too, plus one or two other things, so now and then we do an onlline order and stock up on things we can’t get in Morrisons or other local supermarkets!) The ingredients are: Raw Cane Sugar, Red Chillies (19%), Red Peppers (19%), Cider Vinegar, Onions, Garlic, Concentrated Lemon Juice, Sea Salt. I know it’s sugar, but I add such a small amount because it really is fiery stuff (we tried chilling dipping sauce the first week as we didn’t have the chilli jam, and it wasn’t the same – bit synthetic if you know what I mean) I’m not too bothered about that.

Another recipe from the same book is cod wrapped in pancetta (though we do it with Serano ham as it’s less calories, and as I have dodgy gall-bladder, less fat) with lentils. Delicious! We cheat and use jamie’s own lentils, but you could perfectly well do your own, or indeed have it with other veg or salad. There are quite a few BSD friendly recipes in the book, and as they are all so simple to make, we’re fans!

Congrats to everyone having powered through another week.

Well, next SUN will wrap up my first 8 weeks on BSD and am very pleased how things are going so far. Really appreciate all the support and encouragement during the rocky start I had (weight bouncing all over the place….gains at times when there should have been none). But in the end it looks like it is setlling down and evening out.

As Esnecca said some time ago, I feel for the first time that I have unlocked the secret to how my body works and am control of my weight loss instead a passanger on some crazy random ride where I never knew what to expect. This seems, overall with the grand total of just 7 weeks in, much more predictable now.

Would love to know from the BSD maintainers that are out there and have lost so much, if along the way the saw the same crazy plateaus with the WOE as we all have seen with other diets? If yes….how long was the worst, and did you see the weight that should have come off finally drop….or was there ever stalls that were black holes that never produced a weight loss?

I just feel I need to be realistic as this is going very well right now and do not want to set myself up for unrealistic expectations.

Will report total 8 wk loss next week. I also have some moderately agressive goals in 2018….starting with a desire to nose in at 199.0 as of Jan 1…..see the end of the 200s finally. This DEC challenge is just what I need, so am so pleased it is so active. So will do the double target of DEC 25….and JAN 1 a week later. Will help keep me out of trouble Xmas day.

Eliza52, the salmon cakes look lovely. Would you mind sharing what the ingredient list is on the back of the chilli jam? I see this available online…Cane Sugar*, Roasted Red Pepper Puree*, White Vinegar*, Onion*, Fruit Pectin, Jalapeno Peppers*, Red Bell Peppers*, Red JalapenoPepper Puree*, Citric Acid, Chili Powder* Is it roughly the same thing?

I love salmon cakes and these look wonderful. In the last couple of years I have been finding tubes of lemongrass paste and ginger paste along with the fresh herbs in our grocers. Those help a lot when you don’t need too much. I use cilantro enough to make buying fresh worthwhile.

Thanks for posting that.

Good morning/afternoon everyone!

LTC, like you, I’ve had an interest in cooking and entertaining for many decades. As
a consequence, we can look at a new recipe and instinctively know what it will taste
like based on the proportions and ingredient list. Often I’m already making changes
before I’ve even had it the first time! Reading the latest on your fav spaghetti squash
made me think of pizza without the crust! Only thing missing could be anchovies
or pepperoni…Probably smells heavenly in the oven, too!

Keep ’em coming, girl 🙂

Hi Liz

I’ve just looked at the Jamie Oliver recipe. It does look delicious and has got good comments. I’m definitely going to give it a try this week.

Yes, looking back I should have asked them to do the blood tests when they did my HbA1c. I’ll speak to the practice nurse and ask if they can check cholesterol, etc, each time they do my Hba1c.

Thanks again
Marie

Hi all
Just popping in to say thank you for the birthday wishes and for helping me enjoy the new weight loss moment.

Hi Marie

If you like salmon, try Jamie Oliver’s recipe from five ingredients book (https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/salmon-recipes/quick-asian-fishcakes/). I know it has chilli jam; we had to order this online as we could only find chilli dipping sauce, and believe me it’s VERY different. I know too that it has sugar in it…but it is SO strong, I put on only a tiny teaspoon each (we have some really small spoons, much smaller than standard 5 ml ones) and given we have it most weeks, cos it’s so gorgeous, it doesn’t seem to be a problem for the glucose levels. And the salmon of course is good fat.

I think sometimes you have to ask them to do blood tests – especially as they often don’t understand the BSD. Remember, they cost money, and anything they can do to reduce costs….! That said, my GP made no issue over doing the whole lot.

Liz

This is the best spaghetti squash recipe I have tried to date because all the yummy stuff is put in the raw squash halves and then everything is baked together. The flavor really gets into the squash that way.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE STUFFED SPAGHETTI SQUASH
Recipe from the Complete Low-Carb Cookbook by George Stella

Serves 6

Ingredients
1 medium spaghetti squash (may use 2 small)
1 pound ground Italian sausage, casings removed
1⁄2 cup diced red onion
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 cup sliced button mushrooms
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
1⁄2 cup black olives, chopped…do not omit …add a lot to the flavor
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
2 cups mozzarella cheese

Preheat over to 350F / 175C

Poke a couple holes in the squash then microwave 2 min….easier to cut in half. Then take out seeds. Place squash cut side up in a baking dish.

(Note: Stella stuff his at this point but I would return to microwave for another 2 min as I did not find my squash cooked as well as I would like by baking alone…would like it a bit more tender. Maybe mine was just bigger.)

Saute the sausage, onion and garlic in a skillet until sausage is browned and crumbly

Add bell pepper and mushrooms and saute extra 3 min.

Drian excess grease

Stir in tomato sauce, olives and Italian seasoning….simmer 5 minutes

Now stuff the squash halves….half mozzerella first….then sausage /tomato mixuture….finish with final half of mozzerella.

Bake for 40 min. Cool 5 min before serving. Very yummy.

Allie….Ina Garten YES YES YES. She is the only one of the lineup from whom I actually bought the cookbooks….have 3 of hers! And such a lovely personality, so warm. Nice to see such affection in a long married couple as well. Alton Brown often has some very good recipes……but some were a bit more bother. Half recipe half Rube Goldberg contraptions that had to be concocted.

nothing exciting to report although the scales did wobble between 75.9 and 76.1 but rested on the higher reading. Still, it is a successful weekend so far. I have my blood test on Tuesday and see the doctor on Wednesday with my results. Fingers crossed. My machine shows I have a 3 month average reading of 5.3 but I know I will be a little bit higher. We will see.

Hi Eliza52

Thanks ever so much for taking the time to give such an extensive reply. Goodness, given your history, that is a fantastic result for your triglycerides.

I’ve really focused on 800 cals/20g carbs for the 4 months I’ve been doing the BSD and have done really well like you and Jimmy in getting my hba1c down to 35. But, I’ve recently been conscious that I need to think about my cholesterol level. When I saw the practice nurse in August she mentioned the possibility of my needing statins. Given that was the first I knew I had raised cholesterol I’m keen to try to reduce it by diet instead.

I’ll reduce the cheese, oils, etc. as you have – and also try those recipes (I love salmon and courgettes and the celeriac rosti sounds good so I’ll give it a go – I’m trying to expand my choice of meals).

You’re also right. I need to know what my levels are now – I think they might have just done my hba1c this time as no other info has gone on my on-line medical record but I’ll speak to them on Monday to check. (I’ll also remember to ask for a complete set of blood tests next time – although it’s a bit disappointing if they haven’t done them!).

Hope the meeting with your GP goes well and they agree to reducing/stopping your cholesterol meds.

Marie

Dear all
I don’t know if any of you are on this new medication Linagliptin or Trajenta? My husband has had his medication increased to include this because his bloods have been up to 10! despite maintaining his two stone weight loss for the past year after following the Blood Sugar Diet. I must admit our carb level has recently crept up to include Dutch crispbakes, Melba toast with our cheese & bananas, grapes, wine & some mangoes & my husband has gone back to eating oranges. It’s all very worrying although I have lost 2 & 1/4 lbs this week it’s my husbands blood sugar I am concerned about & him being prescribed more medication!
Please post any experience or information you have on this new medication that we know very little about apart from the pharmacy notes & a little online research.
Thank you
Margaret
