I've requested to go on Forxiga too, just waiting to hear from the Consultant. Fingers crossed!

Hope you don't mind me asking but what's made you want to go on Forxiga?

Ive been on it for about 2 months.

so far:

Breakfast: - portion of my mixed cereals etc with soya milk - 5.8 down to 5.7
Lunch: Home made baked beans, full pkt of 8 rashers Sainsbury's soya bacon and succumbed to the crust of the loaf I was slicing to freeze so my daughter can have bread if she pops in for lunch when shes working in the area (or for my one slice toast breakfast - but trying sticking to my low carb cereal for now) white mix but with added oat bran and lots of golden linseeds
I think tea will be a Crown Carvery meal - if all goes to plan

Does the coconut milk come from a coconut cow? or do they just feed an ordinary cow on coconuts?

DUMBO
I seen a peanut stand
heard a rubber band
I seen a needle that winked just now
but I'd be done see'in about everything
when I see a coconut cow.

Happy Birthday for yesterday - I don't recall actually sending the wishes even though i meant to - I usually go through and do all my "likes" then go back and pick up replies i want to make. Easier that way

Where did you buy the coconut butter cream from?
I make my cocoa with a heaped spoon of real cocoa powder, mixed to paste with soya milk then topped up with same. microwaved until hot enough then either drink as it is or add coconut cream/creamed coconut or add coconut milk powder at the paste stage. No sweetener as to coconut sweetens it. Sometimes add tsp of one of my Jordan's Skinny Syrups - lots of flavours but too sweet if I add more. Sweet drinks make me feel thirsty

Makes me kinda glad I can't have the cheap instant stuff, so little taste in comparison AND rather sweet...
