What's the sugar craving solution ?

I have to hammer the veg. Veg stir-fry and veg with dinner and celery instead of biscuits/cake. Melted strong chocolate with double cream or pork scratchings instead of crisps.
It's just adopting new habits. The longer you do it the easier it becomes.
Healthy subtitutes instead.
Cravings can be mental or physical. The above solves physical cravings from carb addiction.
Mental cravings are only solved by substituting with a better treat. Handbag, shoes or an expensive bunch of flowers. Well for me anyway. Ha ha

Going shopping now = tomorrow! On Sunday R driving his Son back to Cambridge (for University) and won't be back in York till Monday Evening, so looks like Wednesday for bloods to get done?
He doesn't feel well today, I got up later after a "disturbed" night with a Headache, rushed around getting ready and for what???
Just had my lunch and got coffee and catch up on here. What's everyone else doing?:)

Lying on bottom bunkbed with toddler to help him nod off for his afternoon nap. Otherwise he'a beast if he hasnt had his nap.
Sounds like hailstones outside. Weather is rubbish for playing in the park. Back garden has been our only playhaven other than the local harvester-like play area. Nope, no sleep yet. Maybe hes distracted by my typing. Off to top-up his milk.
Have a good afternoon/evening everyone. :)

We go to the Duxford Airshows. Kids love it too. :)

I used to live just a couple of miles from Duxford Museum, and so got free passes for the family every year as the museum gave them to locals in compensation for the fact that the roads around were clogged with traffic on a airshow days! The passes were only valid On ordinary days, not airshow days though
 
@TooManyCrisps - I've only been to Cambridge twice (last year) I loved the Shops and Cafes. But, can't travel so good now with the bone/joints situation - maybe in the future though. We haven't been away (abroad) for 2 years. Stopped flying 4 years ago, began going by Ferry to Brugges and Amsterdam twice a year, but could not sleep on the Ferry. Was supposed to be going to Paris roundabout now by Eurostar my (60th last year) Birthday Treat by Richard - have postponed that.
I am only 3 weeks on these injections and no change at present, was told it could be 4 - 6 weeks before I notice an effect.:)
 
I have just received a letter from my local Community Health Team inviting me to attend the X-pert Course in June. I will need to commit 2 hours a week over 6 weeks.

You know what my questions I gong to be (especially after Eldergarth's experience at this course), Will I be silently screaming as I am told to eat 200grams of carbs a day so my brain does not fall out or any other such nonsense?

My brother popped over for a bit, even though we both went to the farmers market we managed to miss each other! He gets up later than me (he loves astronomy so keeps unsociable hours lol) so he didn't go into town til after 11. I was quite pleased with what I got, I found some smoked chicken breast and there was a lovely French cheese stall where I spent far too much! I also got some asparagus so I'm having a cheese omelette with buttered asparagus tonight :)
 
evening all one thing I forgot to mention that I did get from the nurse at the coarse it seems I have been a silent sufferer of border line type 1 (now confirmed type 2) for some 4yrs .
and surprise surprise they couldn't answer the question as why it wasn't picked up at my last wellman review

I went with a friend as he gave me a left, we couldn't believe it and there was a tin of biscuits for when you had coffee break half way through the Morning, was even told to have weetsbix or similar before bed to keep us going through the night, I saw my doctor and explained things I was told at the course, he was shocked and said he would be getting in touch with them as the info was not correct. Maybe it's improved now good luck

Hi everyone,

Hope it's a good day all round.
Feel a bit more as though I'm back in the land of the living. I've been sucking on Honey & Lemon Jakeman's and taking dessertspoons of Buttercup syrup (purely medicinal of course) and did have 1 reading of 9.8 :arghh:. Some cheese brought it back down to 6.2 in under an hour.
Enjoy your evening.
