    Diabetes advice here in Canada is to have three meals a day of no more than 30 carbs per meal, with two 15 carb snacks during the day. The purpose of the snacks is to keep the blood sugar steady and not go more than 3 hours without eating. Do apples raise your blood sugar? It's one of the recommended snacks, but always with a healthy fat, like peanut butter, to balance it. Snacks need to have fiber plus healthy fat. Glad to have found your channel.

      There is no real diabetes advice regards low carb within the UK NHS (in my experience). My Diabetes Nurse has only ever told me to lose weight by eating healthy. I can only say this has worked for me before. Thanks for watching 👍

    Hi Karen I had a full hysterectomy a few years back like you I waited a few weeks b4 starting hrt and as on a 50 patch I turned 60 and they dropped me to 0.5 gel all the symptoms came back so I decided to use two gels and that seem to be ok,if you have an air fryer put your eggs in there for 7 mins perfect dippy eggs game changer xx

    Hi karen, Thanks for sharing your day with us. It's good when you see other people's lives as it makes you realise that we basically all do similar things each day and in a funny way it makes you feel better about your own life. I, too, are back on low carb after a four pound weight gain through eating rubbish, I've had a terrible craving for cake, chocolate, and biscuits and like yourself I'm not buying or baking them anymore. Low carb is the only thing that works for me as far as losing weight, nothing else seems to have the same effect, and i always feel better in myself when i do low carb. It's just hard trying to make meals with no potatoes, pasta, rice, or bread, and thinking of what to have every day is a chore. 😩❤

      Hi Karen - I decided to include potato, rice or pasta in one meal per day but not bread as it really doesn’t agree with me! Good luck getting back on it 💕 xx

    Hi Karen, I really enjoy your vlogs, your food looked lovely. I’ve been on HRT for nearly 13 years since I was 50 and I’ve no plans to stop it as I had terrible brain fog and hot flushes before. I worry that all the symptoms will come back and I couldn’t cope with that again! Looking forward to more of your vlogs, oh and I just love your geordie accent it’s one of my favourites, I spent a lot of time in Tynemouth when my son was young, I love it there. Xx

    I was wondering Karen does the British diabetic association recommend only 3 meals a day,as here in the States they recommend 3meals,and 3 snacks,as the idea here is to keep the blood sugar level,no big swings.I was very lucky with menopause,I hardly had any symptoms,once in a while I would feel hot for a few seconds,and I mean seconds,I would think I’m hot,then think I’m not hot now,so I was lucky.
