Tomaat en aardappelNow do you say tomato or tomato, potato or potato?

I was born in "bap" land but we called it a roll. Studied in Manchester but never bought bread.Ah, now this is enlightening. It's not me, it's you guys!
Coriander for meDefinitely coriander.
And it can be eaten with courgettes and aubergines.
Those are easy. We say courgette (well, I try not to, it's one of the very few foods I really don't like), koriander and aubergineDefinitely Zucchini here, I had never heard of courgettes. When someone first mentioned them I had to look them up! And I believe pretty much all of the US says cilantro now and not coriander. Although I grew up with using coriander as it's name. I believe Cilantro is now used because it is associated with Mexican food here more and it's the Mexican/Spanish name.
And aubergines are eggplant!
I tried to grow spaghetti squash this year.............. lots of flowers that fell off, no fruitI like zucchini/courgettes. Store bought zucchini noodles with spaghetti sauce and maybe fake meatballs. Spaghetti squash is really good for this too. Stir fried with other squash and margarine. In my vegetable bowls with whatever seasoning at the time. Lol, people actually get quite inventive with them as some years you can grow an uncontrollable amount!
I made some flourless, sugarless cakes with lemon cream cheese and berries
WelcomeHello everyone, new here. just working out how to post and respond then i will be haunting these forums like a ghost on steroids..
Thanks for the welcome@Streather \m/ I was on Lantus for years and didn't have too many problems with it, but I have heard of many people that have. I don't think it's just skinny people that have that issue. Tresiba is supposed to be better at stopping having lows. I have a pump now and just on Humalog.
Welcome BTW!!!
when i was first diagnosed i was on lantus and it never lasted the full 24 hours for me and i used to get loads of nighttime hypos when on it ,i am now on tresiba and find this does last the full 24 hrs and its a much flatter profile .Now that I've worked out the posting issues i was having last night.., Has anyone else here had serious problems with the lantus/toujeo glargine family of basal insulin's. I have asked repeatedly to be changed to tresiba as the lantus was exhausting itself within 8 hours of injecting, giving me massive, continuous hypos and not being active the remainder of the 24 hour period, leaving me with massive spikes over a prolonged period that has seriously effected my health. these spikes have always been put down to me not controlling my db properly, which i endeavor to do at (most) times. i was switched to toujeo after researching and finding the problem occurs in a small amount of skinny t1 dbs with lantus although it took 6 different db nurses to listen to me. after reading a forum on this issue it now appears that the issue is with the glargine insulin's requiring to be injected into subcutaneous fat in order to make it long acting, which i mentioned i have not got. I could rant forever on this subject as it has been an inspiration for my rage for months now. anyone else that has experienced these issues, i would be very interested to talk to and hear about their problems/solutions. i intend to go back to my db nurse and reeducate them on this dangerous lack of knowledge and understanding. Lastly, after the first series of db nurses that didn't listen and questioned my sanity, the one that finally listened knew about the issue, although they did not know the reasons as to why it effected skinny t1s. Knowledge is power people, keep the sharing up this site is my new favorite resource, Bless you all
