Are you still nervous about coming off the meds? You seem very happy with it all...
Hero...
Awwww.... that's horrid... I hope you feel better now... I was shocked with my 6.9 this morning...
I was still 6.1 after Bullet Proof and almond bread with butter later too... I flew back to Bahrain from Qatar last night, having only done a half-days' work - flight delayed and so had black and green olives and buffalo mozzarella in the lounge... champagne too, but not much... I had a small slice of my own cheesecake, almond and hazelnut base and Philly and cream with lemon zest and juice filling... also a low-carb cacao and coconut oil hot chocolate with stevia, before falling into bed at 10 without unpacking anything... It shouldn't have been bad for me, should it? One of the cats kept sitting on my head and purring on and off because he was pleased I was home - and my husband kept throwing him over to me when he went over his side, so maybe it was disturbed sleep... it's so frustrating when you have had a couple of mornings in the high 4's and low 5's and you think you're getting back on an even keel... I know I lead a funny life, on and off planes and working on building sites all day when I'm away, but I do try to take boiled eggs and small bananas with me - there's always a tub of my own almond bread in my suitcase too... Sorry - rambling on again... I try not to lay it on my husband too much though, I'm sure it bores him rigid, even though he's very good, so it's a good job I can let off steam here now and again... I do hope you have a much better day today... maybe you're going down with a cold or something? With luck it's a temporary blip and you'll be grand again... Makes you feel like a ping-pong ball in a bucket of water, doesn't it.. 
Chin up my dear...
Oh no... like the lady said, be good to yourself when you get home...
Cool...B: breakfast slab and coffeencream
L: 11g bag salted popcorn (6g carbs) and 500ml green smoothie, crustless quiche
D: jerk chicken in butter, 500ml green smoothie
The smoothie effect is kicking in.
I feel great.
And Mr B has asked if I'm making one tomorrow? - for 3 days in a row.
what did you put in it today?
She'll be raging inside, no doubt... I wouldn't be able to keep shtum...
You're naughty...Total agreement.
@AndBreathe , You are determined to torture me, aren't you? It's me that can't be trusted.
The evils of mango (puréed with cream, a dash of lemon, and frozen into icecream...
Just seen this... thank you... I have kale growing in my garden, so it's very tender.. what a good idea... shall do it for lunch... Hopefully it will bring down my numbers a bit...Thanks!
Saved me ferreting Rose's post out
There is also a link in my forum sig to a webpage giving lots of green smoothie recipes suitable for type2s.
My usual default smoothie (60% veg, 40% fruit) is this:
Half a big bag spinach or kale
A huge courgette
Maybe some cucumber
1/3 punnett of frozen pineapple chunks or a couple of apples
1/3 punnett frozen berries (blue, straw or rasp)
Half an avocado or a few macadamias or cashews
Cold water to give the right consistency
Makes about 1.5 litres (3-4 portions) at a milk shake consistency.
Raises my blood glucose less than 2 mmol/l at 1 hr.
But please test your reaction to ANY of these recipes, and reduce the sweet fruit, as necessary.
Ooooh, AndBreathe, get thee behind me..
I never thought of frozen stuff... ahhhh...
You are so bad....Even if you swap it for the pineapple?
(Frozen Mango Daquiri,..............
Yep, and nope...I've been drinking green smoothies and juices for just over 1 year and I choose fruit ingredients that I've tested and tested and I know they don't spike my blood sugars.
But I'm just being cautious here and would say if anyone's going to try any new food, it's so important to choose fruits that you know either dont spike you ... But I'd still test.. And if you're experimenting with new fruits, it's even more important to test, which I'm sure you do anyway.
Ideally a diabetic friendly green smoothie should have an abundance of veggies and only a minimum amount of fruit
@Brunneria Would you agree on the above? Is there Anything I've missed out?
Of coursePlease can I have your method for this? I've been looking for a cheesecake to make!!
It is lush... It's in mother thyme.com/lowcarblemoncheesecake... I thought I could take out the lemon and add lots of cacao to make a really chocolate one too... you'd have to mix some liquid with the chocolate powder first I suppose... coconut milk maybe?
You are so bad....
Similarly so with Sour Sop, which are like giant Cherimoya.
It wouldn't be paradise if it wasn't full of mango...My thoughts were that if Brunn could tolerate pineapple, perhaps the mango would be OK in that form. I have to say I'd never seen it commercially frozen before, but we have it in our freezer elsewhere because they grow in the garden, and everyone else's garden. During the season, it's mango with everything!
A blended mixture of almost frozen sour sop and mango pulp is almost like icecream. I haven't bothered with that since diagnosis. Some torture I don't have to self-inflict!
I don't know Cherimoya and Sour Sop? I am going to suffer when the mango from Pakistan come in - short season but this year it will seem veeeery long.... The best are from North Vietnam - they taste as though they have vanilla in them.... dream on.... I grow pawpaw/papaya... it's not as 'spikey' as mango.... I only eat one small slice now though..... I have banana trees but they're not full of bananas yet! Doubt they ever will be, although the gardener keeps packing camel pooh round them... 
Cool...
Awwww.... that's horrid... I hope you feel better now... I was shocked with my 6.9 this morning...
It sounds like you are very well prepared for your travels, it sounds very exciting but it must also be exhausting! No need to worry about sounding off here, I think we're all in the same boat
