Hello. I had a good start to the day as posted earlier.
D. Fish in butter sauce with a small amount of potato and peas. It wasn't perfect but it could have been a lot worse. I am feeling a lot happier with the day. :)

That is fascinating.

<snipped>

I will however have a sniff ( ;) ) at your 'cephalic pase insulin release' and see if it looks like a possibility. Although, I must admit that my first reaction on reading your suggestion was to question your sanity. When, in the history of the world, has a jelly baby been that close to a human nose and mouth and lived to tell the tale? (or set aside for sniffing the next morning?) I mean, REALITY CHECK, please!

Will let you know if I try it though.

The temptation to rips it's head off would be too strong.... so I don't think I'll be going there any time soon.....

Hi to all. A recently diagnosed new member here.This thread has given me some great idea's to vary things.I now feel this will be sustainable,especially as I keep discovering new options daily.Haven't been very hungry today.Maybe the Metformin.

Breakfast : Coffee and double cream.Really enjoyed this as I just can't get on with unsweetened soya milk in tea.

Lunch : half a packet of pork scratchings and two tomato's.

Dinner : Toast made from half a Lidl high protein roll with loads of Lurpak two fried eggs,and 100g of Stornoway black pudding.Delish.

Snack : have roasted some pork shoulder keep pinchin bits out of the fridge.

Just a quick question, I bought some lactose free milk just for use in tea, does this solve the milk issue??

Cheers
