My bf can eat a pizza by himself and usually my eyes are bigger than my stomach and manage a quarter of a pizza. If it’s by myself, I have pizza for the next 2 days.
Easy. Make some more so you can have some for breakfast the next day!
Before DAFNE I was injecting after food, although I didn't have libre then to witness the spikes. On paper my BG was stable to some extent. I had my head bitten off during DAFNE for continuing to inject after food, they kept telling me to inject before. I found I never finish food and faced the consequences. So now I inject in stages or after food.
Thanks @Mel dCP I'll see what Aldi's got@SueJB - I use the edamame and mung bean pasta, it’s not bad at all! Aldi sometimes have a range of three low carb pastas and I have quite a stock!
@Delticmatt100 those numbers look not too bad at all and likenthe others have said, you may well still be having the odd spurt of your pancreas as it’s still such early days. My only advice would be to always, always, always carry a fast hypo fix and both your insulins (plus test kit, obvs) - it’ll soon become a habit. Phone, keys, d kit. You’re doing great, lovely. Hope the barbie was good?
Managed my entire day in PJs yesterday, binging in a box set and drinking orange marmalade gin. Some food happened too, will post that in my vegan low carb thread. @WuTwo - made some of those seitan chicken things and they were surprisingly nice. Reckon I could adapt the recipe to make some low carb gnocchi too.
Picking up manchild today, so will have to get dressed, I suppose. Collecting our lovely octogenarian friend Mad Jean on th way and making a visit to Taurus Crafts in Gloucestershire en route. Coffee and a little mild shopping. Then it’s birthday present time, as manchild turned 16 this week and he’s been at his dad’s.
Have a good one, friends
Finally somewhere to store books
Did that with my phone. Still seems to read anywhere between 0.6 and 1.5 lower than a finger prick. No need to find a reader as I've never bought one. They cost exactly the same as a sensor in the Netherlands and I rather have one more sensor than a reader
The heat must be playing tricks with me. Bit sad about that, as I was looking forward to eating one or two kersenbonbons*, more or less demanded from the restaurant the day before yesterday 'in case I'll go hypo during driving'. (yes, of course I had boring hypo treatment with me, but I fancied those kersenbonbons)If you ever get higher post meal spikes than you want you could always consider injecting for half your meal before eating and topping up when finished. But as long as it works for you it sounds fine to me
Aubergines have the same effect on me. My husband grew some one year and we were only able to use one - we gave the rest away.Yeah, my lips and mouth went all tingly, and my throat swelled a little. Like very mild anaphylaxis. I did a little research and apparently it’s not uncommon in people with a birch pollen allergy. I’m not aware of being allergic to that, but I react to so many things that I wasn’t terribly surprised
But LOOOOOOP!!!!
Ooh, I love those cherry things!Did that with my phone. Still seems to read anywhere between 0.6 and 1.5 lower than a finger prick. No need to find a reader as I've never bought one. They cost exactly the same as a sensor in the Netherlands and I rather have one more sensor than a reader
Turned out the rage bolusing wasn't rage bolusing at all but accurate gut feeling

*Dark chocolate, filled with cherry liquor and an alcohol-soaked cherry
That sounds really scary - glad it didn't get any more serious than that! And as a complete non-techie, looking forward to hearing how you get on with your loop. It's all way outside my competence but fascinated by what you're doingYeah, my lips and mouth went all tingly, and my throat swelled a little. Like very mild anaphylaxis.

I’ve had full on anaphylaxis before (the last time I ever dyed my hair
), so knew it wasn’t too serious, but was also aware that it could have gone that way! I stayed awake until it wore off, just in case. 
not that I ever had to write out lines on the school chalk board 
Wow. You're just using long-acting insulin?I’ve had full on anaphylaxis before (the last time I ever dyed my hair
And I’m not entirely sure that it’s within my own competence, but the online community is so helpful, I’m sure I can get it working. In an ideal world, it’ll be able to handle the slow rises and falls that my LC diet gives without having to bolus. We shall see!
No, Novorapid in a pump. My basal program is set up, and the Loop will adjust the rate according to what the algorithm predicts my levels to be in an hour’s time. So with slow and gentle changes to my level, it might be able to handle it without needing to bolus on top. We shall see.
