Type 2 Life

[Sable_Jan]

I know how you feel. shopping takes twice as long now. Have to look at everything from carbs to protein and fats , its a total pain when there not printed.

Oh, and the "as prepared as directed" on things made up with milk. I use soya milk mainly, not semi-skimmed as is often "directed"

 

[Sable_Jan]

I know Beer very well! We used to go there on holiday, too, when my children were small - about 25 years ago - and I'm sure we've been in the Dolphin pub. What a coincidence that you should mention it...
I used to live in South London, too - South Norwood, near Crystal Palace, although that's a little further out than you are in Vauxhall.
So, now you can keep lots of bags of porkies in your cupboard, ready and waiting for you whenever you get the urge for a snack. Perfect!

And salted peanuts, or most other nuts....is it my fave cashews that are carbier?

Oh yes, of course, peanuts! I forgot about them - they're good for your snacks, too, @autisticwonder1970
I just looked up the carbs and you're right, @Sable_Jan...... Wow! Yes, peanuts are only 5.6g per 100g, but cashews are 19.3g per 100g - what a shame, I love cashews.

@autisticwonder1970 Hi Johnny, you have made massively better food choices today than yesterday, and your friend Lee is clearly very thoughtful now that he is aware of the problems you have eating carbs - don't be hard on yourself. I'm glad that you like pork scratchings - we all need something yummy to snack on and they are so much better for you than crisps or, dare I say it, bombay mix. Peanuts are my favourites - the trouble is I like nuts too much! Keep up the good work.
I shall be coming down your way tomorrow - I am working in Kennington

I've got some peanuts but there coated in chocolate . Oh well if I eat the chocolate Ron can have the nuts . Hows that for sharing.

Wow, it is a small world. I used to live in Greenwich and Purley way (walking distance to Ikea).
Did you use the trains to London from south norwood?

Setting the alarm for 5:55am again after a week off, excited though - can't wait to be in the pool. Now off meds and need to ensure I keep the exercise going ....

Oh @tina_marie I'm thinking of you. Just remember it just goes as quick as it came. I'm hoping that will be very very soon for you. I know it makes you cry, that pain. Use those painkillers to help you get about. I walked it off, I think.

 

[eddie1968]

Hi folks - still recovering. Face is still swollen but I think the antibiotics are starting to shift this infection. FBG today 9.9 mmol/l and they should go down soon. Will catch up on posts when I'm feeling better - sorry I've not been on much but that's how I am when unwell. Night night

Walking is the only relief . I've not had this pain since the bath incident. Yes it does make u cry. Have waited till his nibs went to bed before bursting in to tears. Cant even get comfy in my usual spot on sofa. Its not helped having to keep getting up for the loo. Must be weeing for Britain this past week. Getting blurred / double vision and a taste of salt on the tongue when I've been . Talk about thirsty as well.

Have you been tested for diabetes @tina_marie ?

 

[PenfoldAPD]

Mmm, post swim I was up at 8.0 today, down to 7.3 though 30 minutes later. Have to accept numbers will be a bit random post stopping meds I think - will stick to LCHF religiously this week, swim every day, cut out the booze - and hopefully MySugr won't be showing such a high average next week.

I know it's not that bad, just got used to those 5's
