Hoping to find keto version of honey mustard powder
creative folks! I am craving those honey mustard pretzels, specifically the powder. I see several powders listed online but all have sugars. Has anyone come up with/ found a workaround? I know you can get vinegar powder, of course mustard powder, but what about worstershire without sugars? The flavor is my goal, not the…

what feelings @ glucose level?
How do you feel emotionally and physically when your glucose is higher than your normal? or lower? I'm asking since I hit a new low and had an emotional sadness hit me. As my glucose rose over the past hour, the sadness is not nearly as strong. I know there is muscle memory, but glucose memory? Anybody else experience…

Best recommendations when in the hospital?
I have learned that hospitalization can occur unexpectedly and thought I'd share a few insights: Bring your own toiletries. Bring your own pajamas - hospital gowns are uncomfortable. Bring flavored water mix-in. Bring your own lancets. You have to use their meter, but how they get the blood doesn't matter. How big a hole…

how often does your dr. requires a1C
I wondered, is my general doc too laid back? I get checked once a year for a1C, which has been around 6.5 - 5.8 range and only on Metformin, somewhat overweight. I've been doing LC for about 8 weeks and seeing good reduction on my meter readings and the weight scale and called in to ask if I could cut my pill (not ER) in…

What LC food gets you happy when it is on sale?
I just noticed that Costco has Boursin (the best cheese ever) on a huge sale for the holidays. I got hooked in France where the school's cafeteria had it wrapped in foil like little butter pats. I never thought about that in my new LC universe. But without that French bread.... will need to figure out some new recipes…

good freezer recipe for squashes?
Major !!! surplus of yellow squash and zucchini, both low carb. I know freezing changes some texture, which is ok, but I'm looking for someone who has successfully frozen small batches of meals/entrees, not simply the zucchini/yellow squash by itself. Most google recipes don't address low carb or freezing, so hoping…

Chocolate cake-like creation
In this month, we get tempted, right? I fought back only so far... and succumbed to a low-carb chocolate/brownie creation. I must say, I thought it came out pretty tasty. Sorry, not even a crumb left for you to taste! Here's the recipe if you wish to try it: dry stuff: 1/4 cup Carbquick flour 1/4 cup Bob's Red Mill…

a1c down, when to quit meds
Diagnosed maybe 6 years ago with type 2. Gradually worsened to a1C of 6.8 and up to 1000mg Metformin twice daily. Then went low carb, lost around 19 pounds, and a1c reading of 5.6 after doing LC (usually less than 50 net daily) since mid-June. Messed up mid-Aug to mid-Sept and had more carbs than desired, but those factors…

desperately seeking LC and low calorie bread recipe
I can find a lot of great looking recipes for low carb breads but their calorie content is around 170 per slice = problem. Chompie's deli sells a decent tasting LC bread (1 or 2 net) for 60 calories per slice but it is somewhat cost prohibitive ($6). It contains soy, wheat gluten, dough conditioner, flakes of grains. I am…

advice needed - woozy
I am hoping someone can help me figure out what to do to get rid of symptoms. I have been T2 for around 6 years and take Metformin 1000mg (not extended release) morning with breakfast and night with food. I've had a strange set of symptoms historically (almost seizure like shaking when I eat food). That part thankfully has…
