BS readings

[alliebee]

Excellent numbers. Better than me
Before lunch 6.1.
After 7.7. I made a bit of a mistake with my sausages. I had them in the freezer and by my readings they obviously had a bit too much carb filler

 

[alliebee]

So chuffed tonight. I just took my pre supper reading and its. 4.2. Lowest ever reading. God all the hard work is worth it. I also did 20 mins in front of the telly on my excersise bike...I can't do much as I have ms and it affects my balance. What a difference to the person I was 10 weeks ago

Big clap from me. Well done you x

 

[ally1]

well done alliebee

 

[alliebee]

Thankyou both. I think with the weight loss my insulin resistance has improved. I've noticed after meals my levels drop really quickly now. They used to take about 4 hours to properly drop...

I noticed the same with mine. My peaks are now all at 1 hour. By 2 hours they have dropped nicely. Same food.

 

[alliebee]

Yes that's it exactly Bluetit. Thankyou. God it feels so good. I'm just so happy. Thankyou so very much for all the fantastic advice and support

 

[Bluetit1802]

We must be doing something right!

pre tea 6 post 8
the 8 i was surprised at as i only ate a small amount of mince thou i did eat lots of cauli, brocolli and cabbage

 

[alliebee]

Its the hidden carbs Ally in the tin of mince. If you look at the label you will see. They put thickeners and a load of sugar in..you don't think so because its savoury. But honestly its high carb and not good that's why even with a little it sent you high. The veggies are all great though. If I were you id cook mince fresh and not touch tins

 

[alliebee]

I've just had a look at sainsbury:s tinned savoury mince amd onions online. Its got 18g of carbs in and that's just half the tin!! Wow. Even I was shocked

Morning Ally. Back well on track now! I've got a small roast chicken today. It will easily last me 3 days meals and then I have the lovely stock to make from the carcass for chicken and leek soup

I did the very same last week alliebee- chicken and leek soup! Was fab! Roast chicken tomorrow so soup in the slow cooker again Tuesday !!

 

[alliebee]

Oh I bet that's lovely done in the slow cooker. And the house will smell lovely while is cooking. I adore leeks. Love chicken and leek soup. Got to be my favourite

 

[kimbo1962]

It does, I put the carcass in with a couple of Knorr stock cubes, lots of Leeks, lots of black pepper and a splash of Worcestershire sauce, had two bowls that day and then took the snazzy container I got from poundland (designed for protein shakes!) to work the next two days, totally yummy!!

 

[this is too difficult two]

leave out the stock cubes and reduce it a bit more.

 

[alliebee]

Thankyou for posting that. I'm sure Ally would like that. She says she likes chicken too

 

[ally1]

thank you all

Well done Ally,

You are all so good with your cooking - I wish I could cook - I find cooking so stressful... especially now I cant have my M&S ready meals

 

[alliebee]

Some of them are ok Kezza. Just look on the back for carbs. There are quite a few that are ok. M and S meals are great. I love their veggie pot with layers of veg and butter. Pop in microwave. And done.
