Breakfast: 2 oat and banana cookies. Coffee. 2nd meal will be salmon with broccoli spears. The idea of cooked, chilled and reheated carbs didn't work yesterday. I had 2 tablespoons of the veg curry which did contain both potatoes and sweet potatoes. I made it on Monday, chilled it and...

6.6 at 04.00 today. No sun this morning; heavy mist all around. Maybe the sun will break through later. It's also a bit on the chilly side. I was speaking to a young woman from Shri Lanka yesterday. She has been in this country for a few years now and reckons she has never been warm since...

I also had my gall bladder removed long before the T2 diagnosis (but probably not before I had the condition) and nobody thought to tell me about not eating fats until years later, when I spoke to a doctor about something else. "Oh no. Without a gall ladder you shouldn't be eating fats at all...

Must have been really worrying for you. Glad that it's sorted out now though.

UPDATE on the Amazon saga. The package came back to me in today's post. I went through the process to return it to Amazon again but exactly the same thing happened - Royal Mail didn't get details of the return along with the booking. I have cancelled the return again and had a moan at Amazon...

Oh I like the look of those. I always use the leaves from cauliflower or broccoli - waste not ...etc. I think I would prefer them as a side, rather than a main, dish. Reminds me though, I have some of the broccoli version in the fridge which I must use - tomorrow maybe.

Breakfast: smashed avocado on crackers. Coffee. 2nd meal will be out so I have no idea what will be available. I'm taking vegetable curry and some lemon drizzle cupcakes with me. I should be able to have some of the curry, if nothing else. There is some potato and some sweet potato in it...

Just had a phone call from GP surgery asking me to go in to see a doctor to discuss the result of my echocardiogram. I was expecting to have to start pushing for a result next week sometime. Quick reactions are slightly concerning. Still, the appointment isn't until next Tuesday so not so...

Happy birthday to your grandson, @alf_Josiah; to him and to you. Enjoy the cake and the coffee.

5.3 at 04.30 today. Currently 5.8 after a couple of cups of coffee (and some painkillers). Must have some breakfast soon and see what that does. Going out this afternoon with my friend so can't take diuretics this morning. Bright sunshine at the moment and a light breeze so let's hope it...

It's an odd thing - sometimes it works but other times it doesn't. When it's working, I can even eat risotto but it's only occasionally that I could get away with that. There must be other factors involved. I don't think bread ever works for me but potatoes and rice generally do, taken...

Breakfast: One h/m oat bar. It was meant to be semi-sweet, but has turned out more semi-savoury. Fine as long as you're not looking for a sugary bar. Contains oats, walnuts, dates, peanut butter, egg and some coconut syrup (very little). Quite filling - one bar 1" x 3" is enough. Plus...

Another 2 hour night. BG 5.3 at 02.15 today. Still in the 5's. Pretty sore today and walking is quite difficult. When I say walking, I am referring to what I normally do, crabbing around the house, holding onto furniture. Spent too long yesterday doing my experimental baking. Not entirely...

23/4 hours in bed last night. Then another hour in the chair. BG was 6.9 at 03.50. In the 5's now.

I have never like alcohol in any form. At 16 my father bought for me a popular drink then - "Cherry Bee" - a weak kind of cherry brandy, I suppose. Didn't like it. Could never stand the smell of alcohol on someone's breath. I have, occasionally had whiskey - horrible and once had some...
