Is the north atlantic ever warm enough for swimming? (Asking because I've never been, but I always imagined it to be a cold thing... )
If in doubt about a possible delayed carb effect. Nibble cheese in bed after taking your fbg before you get up. It suppresses the liver dump. Liver dump from stored up glucose. Especially if it's going to be an hour before breakfast. This technique keeps your hba1c result down. I often forget to do it but it's just what metformin does chemically.
I think penfold is in France just now @Myangelsmom
Think it's toothache @13lizanne and the dentist is closed for the Bank Holiday. Going to get an emergency appointment tomorrow. Tried everything to ease the sinus but methinks a tooth is causing the pain. Bummer.
Lesson I leaned this weekend: politeness will make you fat.
Like, being the polite guest I am, I couldn't hurt my hostesses feelings after she pointed out that because she knew I was on a low-carb eating plan she made me a cheese cake - with no sugars added. Wow! Um.. Except it was sweetened with white chocolate, and of course had a digestive biscuit base. I didn't have the heart to tell her that it wasn't even close to being a low carb cheese cake (she also used low-fat quark and sour cream in it to make it "healthier" for me!) so... Sigh... I ate a slice. And I'm up 2.8 lbs this morning - and feel a little hung over, even though I had no alcohol.
I also discovered that my body does NOT like raw veg. At all. Digestive screech to a halt protest. So I think it is back to rib eye and steamed broccoli for me. And hopefully I can... Erm... GO again soon...
My body used to be so easy.
I took a small portion - and ate slowly so it didn't look like I was not eating.
but I'm chickening out and drinking more local wine instead ... well I am on holiday
Enjoy!

Some folks don't seem to understand what carbs, proteins etc actually are. My daughter is trying to follow low carb diet so I lent her my GI/GL carbs book cos she finds carbs other than bread & spuds hard to identifyTough one eh? We accepted dinner invitation last night from people on the next pitch at our campsite, I had to be really strict when they asked us and said I didn't eat carbs but the chaps had still prepared a carb heavy meal
Welcome backHi everyone... I'm Back
Absolutely! @PenfoldAPD it's the law- you have to sample the local wine, preferably from a semi-prone position under the sun
) my BG was 4.3 just before pre dinner snacks so I seem to have maintained control and can relax tonight - just opened another bottle of the wine to support local industry. Local meat and veg for dinner, eaten al fresco of course 
although cloudy skies and storms due later so we might have to stay an extra day ... small planes don't like lighting! (And neither do I!)
Please give Ron my best @Tinamarie, I've not been around much on the forum of late and I was sorry to hear of his troubles. Anna xx
Not that I'm jealous or anything- but this happens to coincide with my alcohol free week ( I do one TT week each month) I'm so sorry that you have to stay on for an extra day:Ok if you insist
