I know the difference between 'kinard and Canard ..! it was duck liver though and jolly nice too.Where you referring to how firm the pate was?
Oh dear. Black coffee? Did your GP /nurse advise low fat, plenty of brown carbs? I note you have mentioned elsewhere you have a lot of weight to lose. Low fat and lots of carbs is not going to be much use. A bit of cream in the coffee will stop the hunger pangs.I was eating the cup after drinking black coffee
Usually don't snack much, but when my husband has the munchies after dinner, sometimes I join in. He has his, I have mine. (If I don't munch, and he does, it gets too tempting to steal from him. Thankfully he takes most snacks to work with him.). So while he goes for cookies and crisps, I have nuts, olives (or other tapas like garlic shrimp or something) 85% dark chocolate, cheese... Maybe some celery sticks with a bit if hummus, if I've kept the carbs really low that day. Loved pork scratchings, but the only available brand at my regular supermarket gave me migraines due to the spices used. Meh.Any cheeky Freddo’s or fudges passing your lips?

I thought black coffee was good for you??

I just buy mine ready made from the local supermarket, but it's simply olive oil, crushed garlic, peper, salt and parceley. Just marinade jumbo shrimp in that for a few hours, and bob's your uncle.Garlic shrimp... sounds divine! Where can I find this recipe?!
Ah, ok. Sorry. I would suggest that you have a look at the info previously provided by @daisy1 on another thread. It takes a while to get an understanding of what is happening to your blood glucose and how best to resolve things.I’ve been advised nothing as stated on a previous post. Just need to lower hba1c and my weight.
Prawn crackers yummyyyyyNot sure I feel the need to snack on anything after sirloin steak and foie gras...

So take advice from this forum. We are all diabetics of one sort or another, with a vast amount of knowledge and experience between us.
Take it from me - put some double cream in your coffee.
The important thing is to reduce carbohydrate, in whatever form it comes. This will lower your blood glucose levels and also your weight. The more carbs you cut out, the more fats and protein you need to eat to replace the lost energy from the carbs. No need to be afraid of good fats - butter, cheese, full fat Greek yogurts, cream, eggs, nuts, avocado, mayonnaise, olive oil etc. An excellent meal is bacon, eggs, a tomato, mushrooms fried in butter and a high meat content sausage. What you cannot do is eat a high carb diet alongside a high fat diet - that will not help at all.
What’s a typical day like for you meal wise?
