I did a double take on that too. I had been reading about these new lower carb potatoes they have in Australia so my mind thought 'refused potatoes ' was a new brand. Than I realised and called myself a Twit!

You probably mean the Carisma potatoes .. I've tried them but not overly keen. I don't think you're missing anything :)

Ok had 2 walnuts this morning before the school run. Skipped the latte. Was fasting 8.2 by the time I got back and pre breakfast I was 9.8. Admittedly not as bad as yesterday. I've had breakfast now so let's see what that does.
B. Morning coffee with a dash of cream.
2 scrambled eggs with parsley and 2 slices of crispy bacon.
L. Will be yesterday's leftover chicken with red pesto, feta and olives with steamed greens.
D. Will be my first trip into Crackslaw!

What an amazing and wonderful morning you have had! Do you live somewhere warm because it's drizzling rain and cold here today.

Your food sounds delicious, too. I love the idea of picking walnuts fresh from the tree.

10.30 a.m. Snack was,

A thick slice of Grapefruit, supposed to be 125 gr max., but, this time it was 156 gr actually, it is not so easy to get the weights right with such fruits, even tough one uses a sensitive digital kitchen scale

160 ml of Milk Kefir, a fermented milk drink, and then again a purpose made household kitchen glass with a scale of ml measurements on it is used

I believe, it is imperative that, a DM need to have a team of Endo and Qualified Diabetes Dietitian, working together, in order for you to manage your Diabetes better and correctly and each individuals needs are different than somebody else's and changes constantly as time goes by.


Would be so nice if anybody knew a place on the net where a small carry in a bag scale for i.e. 0 - 0.5 kg is weighted could be ordered ? :)

Is this the sort of thing you are after.

Time to have lunch , feed No 2 grandson before I head off to pick up Mum from a class she is covering at the sports centre , pick up No 1 from school , take Mum and No 2 home while No 1 comes back with me as he is refusing to go home as 1) He will be sad without Nana and Papa love and
2) Papa is making broth again!
