Today’s carbs.

[therower]

I’m baking apple cakes when I get home, to take into work tomorrow, meeting my mentor for the first time so am sucking up.

10oz SR flour, 6oz butter, 6 oz sugar (I’m mixing caster and muscovado), 2 finely chopped Bramley apples and two eggs. Plus all the cinnamon & allspice. Mix in the usual cakey way and bake at 180°C for 45 minutes for a full sized cake or 20 for cupcakes. I’m doing a double batch.

That’s a lot of sucking up.

That’s a lot of sucking up.

It’s the station I’m hoping to get a job in after I qualify. There will be MUCH CAKE. The brownies I made last week went down a storm...

@Robinredbreast . Hope you can get the hypos sorted. It’s knowing where to start. Lower the insulin and the next day we go high, eat more carbs and 2 weeks later we’re injecting insulin for fun and putting weight on which in turn requires more insulin.
Little tweaks here and there.
Today was a late breakfast. Bit of yogurt and fruit
Glucotabs required towards end of gym visit.
Roast chicken, mash, roast potatoes, cauliflower, brussels, roast onions and stuffing for today’s main course.

A standard bowl of porridge for me, followed by 3 eggs scrambled with a generous splash of Franks red hot sauce and the 2 slices of wholemeal bread, around 70g complex carbs & 4.5u Humalog, last night's tea was nice, chicken breast in a hot tomato sauce and fresh spaghetti (75g's worth0 tossed in pesto, lunch will be a sarnie in wholemeal with pork liver & mushroom pate.

'Tother day I discovered Nightscouts reports and I eat around 150g carbs a day using around 32u insulin split 52% fast acting/48% basal.

Into the confessional I go. Yesterday was my birthday btw:
no breakfast other than copious coffee and 2 tsp almond butter.
Love love love this product even without toast!
Taught my cycle class for 30 minutes fuelled by fat alone.
Butternut squash and a freshly baked cheese scone (guestimate at 30g)
Then iced my own birthday cake with chocolatey items and butter cream. Stopped counting.
Out for a meal of homous on bread and a halloumi burger in a bun with avocado followed by mini slice of cake and rose.
Resulted in bg chaos overnight but worth it!
That was my carb day and I am back to zero starch regime now because I really cannot be doing with the carb/insulin accountancy.

@NicoleC1971 .
Confessional? Surely it’s only a confessional if you have sinned. Have you sinned?
Sadly this forum can make some people feel like they are sinners at times.

Catching up for yesterday:

Bowl of porridge with a few dark chocolate chips scattered on top for breakfast. Later on in the morning had a chocolate waffle as well. Then nothing until dinner which was hunter's chicken, chips and veg consisting of peas, carrots and green beans.

Today I skipped breakfast and waited until mid-morning to have a banana and nature valley bar. Will see what I've got for dinner tonight when I get in.

Welcome back @kev-w, nice to see you around again.
Can you let me know which report in Nightscout you're referring to? Curious to have a look in mine.

Hi and cheers, on the Nightscout page there's 'buttons' top rightt, the one next to the + button gives you a 'reports' option, it's on there at the bottom of the page, I found it by accident...
