Having lost 4.5 stone my HBAC1 is now 39 and I've been told by my surgery that I don't need to come back for any further blood tests, since I'm not technically a diabetic. However, I know that I...

10g carb per slice and it works for me.

I thought I'd try making a low carb cheesecake and found a recipe that calls for coconut flour. I was so pleased to find this in Morrisons and it wasn't until I was checking the total carbs in the dish that I noticed that coconut flour (as well as smelling absolutely gorgeous) has 58g carbs per...
