Try freezing the hummus in small pots or ice cube trays.

Started the day with an online pilates class, then a walk with a friend, all fasted, except for 2 cups tea (no milk) Lunch was a rare perfect avocado with 2 slices bacon. A nut bar, greek yoghurt with raspberries Dinner was 2 chicken thighs with garlic cream cheese in, wrapped in bacon served...

An out of the box suggestion... Just seen add for temporary workers late September through October for pumpkin pickers "must be capable of lifting"... It's different! :D

If I remember correctly, butter mints are hard and not easily crunchable. I think soft easily chewable, swallowable or quickly dissolving would deliver the necessary sugars more quickly than butter mints , and there's less risk of choking

There'd be an element of adrenalin (stress hormones) in that situation, its not all down to food . Don't be so hard on yourself

Sunday was working in garden then a dancing event so loads of exercise. Think lunch was pate, dinner was steak and green beans. 1 very watered down wine as my drink at the event. Monday was fasted exercise class. Lunch pate and cream cheese spread on lettuce to make roll ups. Dinner was out at...

@Annb I too take vitamin D and K together in liquid drop form. Yes it's more expensive than tablets but i think its absorbed better. I always take them in the winter but only sporadically in the summer as I am outdoors a lot Hubby takes them too, he's non diabetic but is indoors more than me

I often just cook extra for the evening meal before and have the planned leftovers cold. Quick and easy to grab Eg unlimited amounts of: Cold chicken legs or thighs Cold sausages (look for high meat contents ones at least 90% meat) Eggs made into a frittata (with all sorts of additions) or...

Weight loss No more IBS Far fewer wees! The admiration of friends

Won't make the 7pm deadline tonight. Off out with friends and we're not meeting until 7. Sometimes, just sometimes, diabetes has to come second to the good mental health of a social life (for me any way :))

Probably!! Whether you should have them is another question. Aimed at children they are very small ice creams on a stick. Only about 35g weight they have about 7g carbs each, so way "better" in carb count than a large adult ice cream lolly such as a Magnum Note, Australians call sweets...

@Antje77 barefoot paths sound fun. I always go barefoot when I can but this sounds so much better. After dire warnings of flash floods here, turned out to just need an umbrella! At least garden will look better now. Had a piece of cake at charity sale, because no one else turned out in the...

Up a pound. Have been away but that's no excuse as did plenty of exercise. Feel less, belt is looser as are trousers but my body's obviously stuffing it away somewhere. Back home for nearly 6 weeks now with no major social events. Am cutting alcohol right down. Will have occasional mini Magnum...

B: yoghurt and milled seeds. 4 strawberries Met family "halfway" for pub lunch. Nearly 2 hours there and 2 and half back, but they're worth it! I had shakshuka and a small piece flatbread and 2 small scoops ice cream. Drank only water. Not really dinner: small cold roast chicken, a tomato...

Not really breakfast: a chunk of cheese Double dancing. First for a few weeks. Brain hurts at all the new routines. I've got a problem with a foot (doctors appointment next Tuesday) and although I could dance, it's hurt and ached ever since. L: 2 hard boiled eggs, 8 strawberries and packaged...

It depends on your taste and how dilute you make it! Sometimes I just have a splash of water, other times just a splash of wine. Pubs here serve it as a Spritzer which I think first evolved in Italy. Or as cheaper alternative to Prosecco or Champagne. As I find the sweeteners in 'diet' drinks...

Found Lots of unripe blackberries on the Coast path but none ripe. Back home now have found a single ripe one. Luckily I still have a couple of kilos frozen from last year. Fingers crossed they do fruit well this year

My ibs disappeared totally when I went low carb. Wasn't expecting it but was a very welcome suprise. I think it was grains causing it. 5 years ibs free now, it's so freeing. Hope you find a way to help yours

B: leftover (aka preplanned) frittata. Cwc. Long drive home. Broke the journey midway meeting friends. A really quirky place using old railway carriage and old bus as the seating. Food was very good, 1 friend is vegan and he had plenty of choice. I had chicken with mozzarella and hummus and...

B: leftover frittata L: cheese and lc crackers, olives Midafternoon a nut bar D : with friends in a pub. Jambalaya with lots of lovely seafood. Did eat the rice. Passed on starter and pudding. Drank one white wine and water, and a Scotch One friend is T1 who's really struggling with...
