latest bloods -45, down from 46 now that may look a little disappointing, but no. I had relaxed a little on the carbs, had christmas, birthday, new year (think croissants, pain au choc) and similar sooooo......... happy

I also struggle with this T2 stuff. I am someone who lives to eat, not eat to live. I adore food in all it's forms and therefore not eating stuff is difficult! I am 73 now and the thought of not being able to enjoy food as I have in the past is annoying (no, it is much more than that!), although...

I have been in the system of eating/drinking not before 10.00am and not after 6.00pm. There have been days when it has not been possible to adhere to, but surprised in that those days have been very few (I am retired and therefore do not have to conform as others might have to). I find that if I...

I have - possibly - over done it for the past 3 or 4 days, but in my own defence .............. OK, yesterday B - 10.00am - 3 toasted crumpets (as seen on TV) with substantial buttering with black filter coffee .... I am aware that crumpets are rather a no-no for me. mid afternoon-ish - large...

Blimey, christmas whilst watching what you eat - surprised that it was easier than imagined. Not saying that I have been as strict as I might otherwise have been, but not too bad. yesterday B - 10.45am - eaten out, 2 poached eggs + 2 grilled bacon on standard white sliced (not the best for...

Ahh, yesterday ...... B - 1.15pm - 2 slices sourdough, half cup greek yoghurt large coffee D - 6.00pm - prawn cocktail (various sizes of the little critters), old fashioned, but I love it, followed by lobster thermidor and a couple of glasses of w. wine, followed by a chocolate nut cake...

yesterday B - 11.00am - 2 slices vortigen toasted, half cup greek yoghurt, coffee D - 5.30pm - cauliflower cheese with small green salad, small mince pie and cream, large coffee

Alas I have fallen, quite a way as it happens, the horned gargoyle of carb had me, and thus: yesterday B -12.15pm - 2 slices bacon grilled in sourdough bagette (an absolute belter) D - 5.30pm - lamb tagine (lamb, apricots, peppers, chick peas) on cous-cous the gargoyle whispered that...

Oh, and live light - mash was the aforesaid potatoe at present I am not looking to be zero carb, (although that may be my position after next bloods), just trying to keep low carb

yesterday B - 10.00am - taken in cafe, 2 poached eggs, bacon on a slice of toasted sourdough HEADS UP: ........ bit of a rant approaching ......... When I have ordered TOAST from the menu, why am I presented with warm bread?? Warm bread which has very little (if any) colouration which may be...
