@Goacher55 i too am not a huge chocolate eater but just needed a substitute for what I do love when I've a craving or comfort eating when stressed so a small bar of dark chocolate is ok but we have on occasions had the Aldi chocolate and it's a nice chocolate so thanks for the information! K

@Granny_grump_, talking of chocolate we have just made a ganache as part of my fat fest today. 3 x100 gms bars of Lind Excellence 99%, 600 mls double cream,few drops of liquid sucralose. 7 ramekins in fridge so not eating all in one go. A very tempting recipe here as the rum sounds good http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/4871/chocolate-ganache.aspx

Thanks, @Granny_grump_. Actually, I am quite surprised that my fbg seems to be dropping a bit lately -- especially given the cold and lack of exercise during the last few days. Maybe having dinner earlier (around 6 p.m.) is helping.

Have a confession though. I stopped taking my Gliclazide three days ago, so I only take 1 Metaformin morning and night. My readings have stayed between 5-7 during the day and I'd really like to prove to the doc I can do this without Glic.

@Granny_grump_You're very welcome. I am going to try to turn that mixture into Easter eggs using moulds from amazon. Would really like to make some caramel with sweetner and fill them with that.

@Granny_grump_ the small caramel filled eggs were a childhood family tradition. My grandparents gave all 8 of us a pack of these and I loved them. This is my attempt to relive my childhood but low carb!

I think the ganache would be better as a filling for eggs and not for the eggs themselves... well that's what I'm going to do with the hollow eggs I've made

@SueJB both ways sound good to me but the ganache does set hard so will make good eggs. Mr Pacino didn't stop us chatting then - was wondering!
 
Me and madam BG woke to snow and knowing that it's a indoor day, I was feeling really positive.
Washed hands and prepared the equipment, meter, stabber, tester.
Prick, squeeze, strip in, dribble blood, close eyes and 5,4,3,2,1

Rubbish again 6.9

Onwards and downwards, swimming against the tide but filling black choc eggs so stuff it!!
