Fbg 11.6 at 4:30 am (my usualish time for taking it)
My fault methinks.
Yesterday a friend invited me to lunch at her house. I went even though still coughing badly (#1 mistake?).
Then I found she had cooked a Xmas lunch for me. It smelt delicious, and I didn't refuse, but there was a predominance of roasted root vegetables on the plate, I meant to leave some, but I didn't (#2 mistake?) I was enjoying it too much. I could have eaten just the turkey and pigs in blankets. A slice of home made Xmas cake followed (#3 mistake), but I left the icing and sweet stuff under it.
She gave me a Xmas present when I left, and I unwrapped it immediately I got home - I knew it was going to be chocolates...it wasn't, it was Florentines. I absolutely love them, but I haven't had any since I was diagnosed as diabetic. So they are going in the car and will be dropped off at the next food bank.
So I am eating some protein now and will check again about 7am.
I am coming to the conclusion I need to pretty near rigidly stick to protein only. Well I already knew that, but this just confirms it for me.
I did see another nurse at the surgery a week ago (over another issue than diabetes), and her advice for food and drinks for my other issue went against what was good for my diabetes. I did explain to her but she got very irate with me, and I came home sort of in a turmoil because of this confusion of food advice, and I was thinking how do I do right with this eating lark? I am not the 'professional', they are, but their food advice and recommendations don't work or are not good for me.
I will get back on track.
Hugs for all those that need them...I think that includes everyone.
Have the best day possible for you. Mine is electric blanket on, going to make some nettle tea now, and I've planned for some eggs to be eaten in a few hours (I am pretty certain eggs help reduce my blood sugar readings more quickly for me more than any other protein, even more than cheese). (I ate nuts for my protein just now. My stomach is not ready for animal protein this early in the morning.).
Take care.
Look after yourselves.
Be kind to yourself.
