I don't understand what you mean by demoralizing I eat brown bread

I don't understand what you mean by demoralizing I eat white bread

Julie the comment was made because your HbA1c blood test of 49, last year is only just into diabetes levels.

For anyone to suggest it is not good enough could result in you being disappointed with your efforts. That is what was meant by demoralising. We don’t want you to feel bad.

You have your next appointment in February. Let us know your new HbA1c if you want to, and if you want any advice on anything about it we will be happy to help.

Sorry to confuse you @julieclarke - my post was supporting you that a Hba1c of 49 is good and there’s no need for you feel you need to aim for lower

 

[julieclarke]

Ok

 

[julieclarke]

I had some chocolate

 

[Outlier]

Similar to me - my cottage pie had no mash, as that would be too much carb for me, and the chocolate was 4 squares of Montezuma's 100% cocoa, which is an acquired taste but okay for us diabetics. Did you have any veg. I had sprouts and cauliflower. This is how we can adapt conventional meals to be okay to eat with diabetes.

Ok I got a pizza with chips

I have some grapes I am having fish and mash beans for dinner

 

[julieclarke]

I had toast for breakfast and for lunch I had supper noodles

 

[grantg]

Which grapes are your favourite? i used to like a few green never been a fan of the really dark/purple ones - always seedless for me when ate.

Ever grate a little cheese ontop of the noodles? I used to love the curry flavoured ones with added cheese

 

[julieclarke]

I had black grapes and bacon flavor noodles
