What about sheep’s or goats milk? I’m convinced those who spike higher than expected with dairy have some kind of intolerance and many with dairy intolerance do better with non cow dairy.

Up at 2.30 am.
Breakfast: 3 strawberries with yoghurt about 8.30 am (after a ridiculously high reading of 17.4 on the Libre and 19.0 on the finger prick). Correction dose first, brought it down to 14.9 then, eventually, more insulin before eating.
2nd meal: (just eaten - 4 pm) Chicken pie filling topped with a little frozen mashed potato. We'll see how it goes. Shouldn't need any more food today although, despite just having had my 2nd meal, my stomach doesn't seem to recognise the fact. More drinks (preferably hot) - that's the answer.

Quick and simple today.
Meal 1 was 4 small air fried lamb chops followed by a few Montezuma’s 74% buttons.
Meal 2 was smoked salmon and cream cheese followed by a couple of teaspoons of cream and a few more buttons.

- Spicy food which is too hot. Nasty people who have no idea on your life journey but feel the need to comment and be cruel.

It’s a good point, I don’t like goats cheese so don’t think I’d like goat milk, but the other thing is availability. Local shops don’t do ‘exotic’ produce ( exotic also includes almond butter, Stilton, full fat cottage cheese).
I’m probably better off trying to give it up completely like @MrsA2 says - makes life easier in the long run I think.
I think you’re right, perhaps not trying to swap like for like is a better plan. Who makes the turmeric tea?
Occasionally I can get hold of fresh turmeric root and I love a tea made with that and a couple of slices of ginger.
Hospital appointment today so survived on black coffee until around 2pm when I had an enjoyable trawl round Waitrose.
L - A packet of flame grilled chicken slices and some rollitos
D- Waitrose smoked haddock rarebit ( 3.5 carbs per portion and v tasty) with asparagus and broccoli. DGF raspberry bakewell with a cup of tea (with milk) afterwards. Tomorrow no milk!

Friday 6 January bed 7.6 FBG 7 4 I was so looking forward to half day Friday. Ended up going to pick up some shopping in the afternoon but I was exhausted when I got back.
B. TAG
L. Very much later, a GF wrap with roast beef, lettuce, tomatoes and mustard.
D. Piece of crustless quiche (heated) with lettuce, tomato and smashed avocado. DGF Christmas pie & cream.
Saturday 7 January bed 6.9 FBG 6 7 No jujitsu so I had a lie in mostly in the hope it would make me feel better.
It didn't!
B. TAG
L. 2 slices of HiLo toasted with egg mayo
D. Courgetti carbonara. CC Little chocolate pot.
Sunday 8 January bed bed 8.2 FBG 7 7 No swimming until next week either so I was blessed with another lie in. Finally finished dismantling the tree yesterday but Hubby still isn't well enough to lug everything back into the loft. At least I've had 2 days at home to try to get something done. A vain hope!
B. TAG
L. A bit crustless quiche
D. Finally managed to get Hubby to eat a bit more. I've lost 5 lbs- he's lost 1st 2lbs!! One of these thick rib eyes you share, spinach mixed with santini tomatoes, mustard and a fried egg (double yolk). CC Little chocolate pot.
I did have a campari and soda. First alcohol this year.
Belated Happy Birthday Paul xx

So do the buttons!
They are too! Found them in an unexpected location and couldn’t resist.

You do get used to no milk. I mentioned before that it was 3 weeks in Poland, drinking tea from a glass, zero milk, that converted me. It tasted awful with milk after that.

So sorry you're both still feeling poorly. Surely it must stop sometime soon. These viruses really seem to have a long term effect. Is it still active in your systems, or is it all down to the after-effects of a virus?

Monday 9 January bed 8.8 FBG 8.4. I was feeling off again but this time the BGs were reflecting it. They did come down later for a while.
@DJC3- I judge the steak by touch then cover it and let it rest. Sometimes I leave it a bit too long though.
B. TAG - school runs then physio didn't leave time for anything else.
L. Bit of crustless quiche
D. Some cold cuts, ox tongue, ham, smoked chicken, roast beef and the last bit of crustless quiche, coleslaw. DGF Christmas pie and cream.
Tuesday 10 January - bed 8.9 FBG 7.3.
I had a really bad night. I woke up at 2am, soaked with sweat and feeling generally unwell. I had to go have a quick shower and Hubby & I changed the bed - it was that bad. I did get back to sleep eventually but it left me quite wobbly this morning. I hope this is the tail end of this awful bug. My BGs were on rapid descent but nowhere near hypo territory.
B. TAG - only one for school as Primary schools are on strike.
L one slice of HiLo toasted with egg mayo. Later, slice of SLC fruit loaf with butter - very nice too.
D. Rack of pork ribs.
This was a replacement order from SLC. Courier took 8 days to deliver a 24-hour order before Christmas, so it was ruined. This one took 4 days and is now safely in the freezer. They did add in an extra pack of their new seeded rolls though.

The view is that itvis definitely viral. Those who have managed to get near a GP were just told" It's viral, go home and take paracetamol. My Physio reckons half the central belt must have it. We all have similar symptoms. The vertigo/dizziness is the worst though. It will go eventually but I don't want another night like last night.
Sorry you had such an awful night, you must have felt completely wiped out today, I hope it’s the end of the bug.
I’ve looked at the SLC seedy rolls on their site, they do look nice, have you tried them yet?
