What have you eaten today?

[cold ethyl]

I agree the crackers were a bit naughty *blushing* but I didn't have them til this afternoon. I might start weighing out the oats

I would. It's all too easy to underestimate by eye.

 

[cold ethyl]

Breakfast bacon dry fried egg
Lunch onion and cheddar soup from deli soya latte 1 sq dark choc.. Burnt my mouth on souo and BS was up at 2hrs to 5.9!!! Back to 4.3 about 1/2 later.
Dinner smoked turkey from deli, stir fry onions , mushrooms, bamboo shoots and beansprouts, 4 oven skin on wedges and a big dollop curry sauce. My fake Chinese takeaway tea. Peddled for half an hour afterwards so hoping 2 hrs is not too bad.

6.5 at 2hrs which is ok given the size of the dollop of curry sauce and the mound of stirfry I had.

Wow they look amazing.. Must try.

 

[alliebee]

I know I can't understand it. The only other thing I could think of was possibly that I was stressed at work today. Will have another try tomorrow

I may try it again too. I used to love it and one day got an 11 so stopped. I've learned ir may be something wlse now

Wow, the Edam tacos look amazing.

Me today:

Skipped breakfast (it was just one of those mornings with the babies).

L: meatballs with salad, Mayo, bit of grated cheese.

D: takeaway curry: no rice, chicken saag (so not really much sauce), mutter paneer but leaving most of the peas, aubergine curry, served with veg I prepared (cavallo Nero and courgette with a bit of grated red cabbage). This meal is my one takeaway treat at the moment.

I've felt a bit bloated and weird for a few days. My younger son has just turned 6 months and has gone onto solids so I think is breastfeeding a bit less; I wonder if my hormones are adjusting.

Oh *allibee* I can't tolerate porridge well either. Especially in the mornings. It's eggs for me every morning!

Love your name!!!
Yes its a bummer. Love porridge
May give it one more try and test again in a small portion
Trouble is it would take almost all my carb allowance for the day

Well, I tried Greek yoghurt with raspberries and NO oats for breakfast this morning. Two hours later my bg was 4.5, so it must have been the oats. I'm going to try again with a small amount of oats and see how it goes tomorrow. I'm also experimenting ( or should that be eggsperimenting, haha!) with eggs. I never usually eat them as I have always found them a bit indigestible, but am willing to give anything a try!

I put Flaxseed on my Greek yogurts and strawberries. It has no carbs, plenty of protein and packed with fibre. It is tasteless but can be gritty unless you stir it all up.

My fbg today was
7.1 codefree
5.8 nano

Same blob of blood I think I will just have to do my best and assume that, as long as they don't show cricket scores, then I'm doing ok.

Taking the milk thistle now. Have been Christmas shopping today so have only been snacking on cheese and creamy decaf. Too knackered to cook dinner. I want something delicious and I want it now!

I find eggs fine for a day or two (e.g. Scrambled) but more than that and things start to bung up...
Unless I add veg. Spanish omelette is perfect.
So, for me, eggs need to be accompanied by non-eggs for regular consumption.

B - 3 x bacon, 2 x mushrooms, 1 poached egg and a slice of fried bread
L - tomatoe and olive salad with a teaspoon of olive oil and smoked German cheese and a little feta

Stealing myself for some more of my new diabetic friendly cough medicine

Chia seeds are fantastic for filling you up and fibre for toilet problems too

Hiya No, they didn't affect my bs. They were just Edam slices which are only 0.1g carbs per 100g. Stuck two slices together, 6 minutes in the oven, then bent over a wooden spoon handle and left to cool. They weren't crispy as I hoped, but it meant I could roll them up like a tortilla wrap.

I've been on the lookout for chia seeds but no sightings as yet. I bought some quinoa but not sure what to do with it!
