Good evening my perpetually perforated people.
Who eats a half of a bap and why?
Let me explain. Busy day so we decided to pick up some baps, sausages and an onion for tea tonight.
A quick scan of the bap wrapper. No actual product weight to be found. What I can deduce is that we have 4 baps, this was blatantly obvious. The information label gave the usual breakdown of ingredients and the all important carbs.
100g 48. something. Per 40g serving 19. something. Now I’ve been doing this diabetes thing a while and know that the bap I was planning on filling with sausage and onion was never going to need 4 units of Novorapid.
Out came the scales and lo and behold, the bap tipped the scales at a lofty 87g.
So that’s my question........who eats a half of a bap and why?
Apart from this I’ve actually had a good day. Purchased a 9 inch angle grinder. WE WILL HAVE differing sized paving slabs before the weekend is out.:):)

me @rower I needed food while travelling so bought a burger and threw half the bun away. Sometimes you just have to.:yuck:
 
Morning, It's hard to be optimistic when it's grey outside isn't it? ......but I'm going to try.
Made a magic Szechuan asparagus and tofu meal last night which madam clearly approved of ====== 5.1 this morning. And for once I hope my liver does a dumpette, I need to drive.
 
Morning y'all, a 5.4 to wake to, and a sleep in too so I can't complain, yet anyway :p
A laid back Saturday I think, gym mid morning and a guitar to re-string, unpaid windows to collect and I dunno what else, but it's Saturday and what's not to like :)
 
Morning fellow colander. Looks like again we are all getting the hang of this type 1 mistress.

Bed with a BG 7.6 steady overnight and BG of 7.3 on waking. I have put my Levemir dose back up, for bedtime dose and for past 3 nights seem to have done the trick.

Wee bit of birdwatching shortly followed by a little DIY this afternoon.

Hope you all have a good day

Good luck! You’ll be eating all @Robinredbreast and @therower’s leftovers and then some? Or just reducing bolus?
 
Good morning holey molies, looks like an interesting day ahead. Woke with a 9.6 after a no carb supper, not a free choice but dictated by Madame’s response to the infection. And there was I a couple of days ago thinking I’d tamed the beast. Correction given, breakfast eaten and hoping the roller coaster’s not accepting passengers today.
 
@SueJB , @Robinredbreast. So apparently some people do eat half a bap ( ladies apparently):):):).
My apologies for assuming everyone is like me and @Knikki :):):).
Before any guys or gals add further comments about bap consumption and specific diets that do often appear on the forum. It was a JOKE!!!!!!!

@Robinredbreast . Names for power tools.........well I guess this one will have to known as the ...Slab Slayer.
 
Well despite my flat line of around 7.5 overnight, had my usual dose and brekkie of porridge 40 g of carbs. Now sitting 3 hours later with finger test showing 17.2:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

No idea what caused that, defo had my Novoslow and Levemir, rather large correction dose now taken and the graph for rest of day will look like the Alps
 
Afternoon all, just crawled out of my pit after an epic lie in. Steady as she goes through the night, activated a new sensor this morning, so after a coffee or three I’ll switch the MiaoMiao over to it (it reads a sensor 12 hours after it expires, so you don’t have the hour gap) and see the full horror of the bruising under the old one, my first ever bleeder. Changed my pod last night to find a bit of a bruise under the old one, I seem to be turning purple at the drop of a hat this week!

Love, love, love Vegan Metal Chef, almost as much as Headbangers Kitchen...

Hmm the Slab Slayer, that's a thumbs up :)
I do eat a whole bap sometimes, as it's just a nice fit for my homemade burger with a humongous amount of fried onions:hungry:

I was up at 6.45 am, I am not a good sleeper at all, but if I get to 8 am, well, that's a lie in for me lol ;)
I still get bruising on MDI, hope yours heal up soon,
Enjoy your day :)

Ouch, mine was 21.1 this morning:arghh::banghead::(, I had 2 units of NovoRapid, with a small yogurt and my lunchtime reading was 7.6, phew :happy: but still feeling tired and a bit lethargic, but have to go out at 1.30pm and it's raining too :rolleyes:

I think we could call ourselves, The Mountain Rangers...............:rolleyes:o_O
 
@Robinredbreast . Re the bap debate:). My initial question/ concern was with the packaging which as we know can be misleading at the best of times.
The manufacturers assumption is that half a bap is the norm and a full bap equates to two portions. For us in the know we can spot things like this, but for someone new to carb counting it’s misleading, frustrating and annoying.
BUT ultimately it’s only a bap on the bread counter of life:).

Oh yep! I love stabbing.. Extended my patio & widened the pathing down the side of our gaff when I found a load of unused weathered slabs after clearing the garden, a few years ago... You can't see the join. ;)
