Love a variety of veggies if I go a couple of days without I am craving them. Not a meat and two veg girl. More a meat and five veg girl. No longer bother with potatoes.
@Marie 2 when I was a child my parents had a large garden and grew everything. It became a long standing joke that if there was a caterpillar or other creature hiding in something, it would end up on my plate. Even after cooking.

Having fewer lows will increase your hba1c and your TIR, can it be that?

It’s either that or the fact that I did have 2 lots of steroids during this time (5 days each time) - the joys of allergic reactions and not being able to take antihistamines

I'm pretty impressed that your hba1c went up only a little, with two lots of steroids thrown into the mix!
Especially with an improved TIR, showing you mostly managed the steroids well.
Possibly the increase of your hba1c is because you've spent more time in the higher end of the range due to the steroids?

@Tony337 Lol... At least you like salads!!!!!!
Fresh meals are always best and the healthiest!
I am always mixing it up with whats in my salad and I like lots of veggies in mine!!! I eat a huge salad for my major meal about 3 times a week. I top it with either tofu, tempeh, seitan, or an alternative meat on it. The only consistent thing is there is always lettuce, I like the mixed greens the best!!! We get some great fresh grown lettuces, bok choy and cucumbers here. There were lots of unknown things here that I have now tried a lot of, I still have to ask sometimes what something is, like the Brazilian Kale. Never Arugula though, it is up there with your avergence to many veggies. I like bitter and I like pepper, but I guess I don't like bitter and pepper in the same veggie.

@Nicola M I agree with @Antje77 , steroids will do it!! I am amazed your TIR improved, that means you handled them pretty well! Insulin is always like water to me when I've had to have them.
