What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

Quite like St Emilion and wine from the Haute Medoc, both not far from where my parents live. Or from Languedoc-Roussillon, Alsace, Rhône or Provence. My sister lives in the Cognac Petite Champaigne Crus, so a nice cognac please, from a small producer.
Had some pretty good wine in Hungary and in the Balkan countries and strangely some Columbian wine in Panam City (don’t ask).
But scotch - if that was all that people ever brewed or fermented or distilled, then just give me scotch.
Cheers :)

@dunelm That's a nice refined palate right there young man and relatives living in beautiful parts of France. I am enjoying bourbon more than scotch recently - do you indulge or is that heresy for you?

Steak and salad are default options for me too.
It was a favourite even before diabetes ruled, but now I have a medical excuse to choose what is often the most expensive menu option I feel quite happy.
I just use olive oil as dressing. I wouldn’t take my own as I know it would leak in my bag. I’ve ruined many bags through bursting yoghurts and squished bananas.

Small sachets of mayonnaise are good to carry around. I snaffle a few whenever I spot them in cafes/restaurants. Get some funny looks when picking them up to go with my Diet Coke.

@DJC3 I haven't ruined any bags but I have caused a few problems with cream for my coffee whilst we are out. Many places don't have double cream for coffee, except Marks, so I often buy a small pot for coffee. Small pots don't have lids and I don't want to throw away a pot with only about 30 mls used. Once or twice my OH/DW has spilled some in a shopping bag. One would imagine a much loved pet had met its end but life goes on :angelic:

I completely understand this. Why doesn’t cream come with a better lid? And why don’t more places offer it? I am always ridiculously grateful if they have cream for my coffee.

The worst bag ruining food was After Eight mints. We used to save them to take back for the girls when we went on a rare night out to the local curry house. We always got After Eights with the coffee but also received complimentary brandy with the coffee. After a few of these I always forgot about the chocolate in my bag until it was a revolting minty mess a few days later.

6.5 after a very restless night.
@flexi06 fingers crossed you’re on a downward trend.

@Cumberland yesterday’s fry up must have sorted you out.

@DJC3
Sorry to hear you had a restless night
Are you working today or can you snooze a little?

I quite like a fry up as a treat now and then

I’m retired now, happily. But won’t have a snooze, I’ll just read the paper and try to summon the enthusiasm to take the dog out.
I love a fry up, but prefer to have it out. Seems more of a treat and means the house doesnt smell all day.
 
5.8 this morning, so much for Tesco high protein bread - 2 slices mind and one the crust :)

Never quite sure about bourbon. My youngest son loves it but me not so much.
Quite like some of the new gin springing up and there are a couple of bottles of vodka in the freezer which I visit now and then.
Pastis - Ricard when I find it before dinner and sambuca sometimes after dinner :D
