Durian is a delicious exotic fruit from south east Asia/ Far East.

It smells awful like smelly socks but tastes delicious like sweet cheese!

Please type durian on google!

Enjoy!

Mine was 8.6 this morning, slightly lower than yesterday but disappointed it wasn't lower as I was very good with my choices. Oh well, I'll stick with it and see what happens.

@TiggerB it takes time for the BG to drop your at the beginning of your diabetic journey don't be disappointed just keep going and you will see them drop! K

@Granny_grump_ I’m still a little under the weather. I’ve been feeling bloated and have a sour stomach. 2 hours after my morning 6.2 I was down to 5.6. I have been quite thirsty the last few days in spite of drinking 96+oz water/day. Things will improve though, I have no doubts.

@Troubled1 Have you seen a doctor it seems to be lingering with you? Do hope it's not lingering long! Regards Kathleen

Dear K...,

You don't want to know what is a Durian and count your blessings that you have not yet encountered one. It is actually a giant egg shaped fruit with sort of spiky skin. Opening said monster, you will encounter one of the most obnoxious, pernicious, clingy rotten vomititious smell you have ever had the misfortune to encounter in your lifetime. Did I mention that the inside of this fruit assaulting your nose and all other senses has a creamy texture? However, this particular noxious giant is an acquired taste and some Asian markets even sell durian flavored wafer cookies and Durian hard candies.

My youngest son, ever on the lookout to shock the public in some way without crossing the social line into antisocial, brought a five pound one of these on a plastic platter to a church potluck meal. He was satisfied with some of the comments along the line of "Get that rotted thing out of here; It is stinking up the whole hall" but a couple of adventurous people, especially one gastronomically adventurous German transplant, who stood next to it, breathed deeply of its aural essence and spooned out great globs of it into their bowls, exclaiming over how fortunate they were to have tried it. Encouraged, a couple other people gave it a go. And one young guy, maybe 18 or 19, put a big chunk of what was left after the meal into a plastic bag, tied it tight at the top, and, tying it to the handlebars of his bicycle, pedaled it off into the night.

@Contralto Think I'm now quite glad I'm a little ingnorant about some things!K thanks

Felt a bit woozy and woke up with head ache Had some carbs and felt better after a while I do not enjoy being quite that low.

Judith was a bit concerned as I was tottering around a bit unsteady on my feet.

And don't know why my sugars have dropped so dramatically over the past few days am actually hoping to be back in the fives again soon.

@Granny_grump_ I saw my Dr yesterday for my blood work review. He checked my temp which was slightly elevated but wasn’t too concerned. He suggested a laxative so I’m trying that out. Aside from my elevated cholesterol, he seemed happy with my blood work and overall health.
