Ouuuch - that is painful. my guy is thus far being hugely supportive .... waiting till I go to work or go to bed before snacking on cookies or... and doing lots of research and not complaining about the taste of Splenda in the desserts ..still its been a bit of an adjustment for everyone

Was craving waffles this weekend .... honestly the cold turkey thing on baked goods has had me jonesing more than once .... So tried out a low carb waffle recipe, eggs, coconut flour, etc.... Not bad, they were edible, very eggy, which is fine, not crispy enough - tried toasting them after to...

8.3 - so much for that trend...

6.7 ... I'm sensing a trend here, not a bad trend, but still ... like to see a point or two knocked off that

6.4 ... again

the sauce was homemade - I try hard to do all my own cooking from raw - on the one hand, I know exactly what's in it, on the other hand it does sometimes mean a fair bit of calculating to get the nutritional totals

ahhh you're right.... didn't account for the beans.... sneaky little buggers... next time I see an 'odd' spike like that, I'll try testing again an hour later - and see if that explains right now I'm doing a lot of testing.... just trying to get data and base lines ..

Soooooooooo I get up from my sleep last night (I work nights, sleep days)... fasting blood glucose is a very nice 6.4 - I know my fasting level should be lower, but 2 weeks in and my first reading in the normal range ... I was chuffed. 9:30 pm, I have my dinner and my pill.. 1 cup beef and bean...

6.4 !!! Ok so I want my fasting one lower than that but dayum! First one in the 'normal' range!!

9.0 at 2am - fell asleep before I could test after dinner 9.2 at 8:45 am .... I was good yesterday - I was really .... hurmmmmm Hopefully pill and a carb free breakfast will mean better numbers in an hour

yeah I'm not convinced on the whole 'two slices of multigrain for lunch and a potato for dinner' thing myself that doesn't seem much like reducing carbs, that said I'm not sold on the whole LCHF thing either... I'm just not one for extremes, so far I'm not counting calories (or carbs either for...

I must admit I was disappointed with the Canadian Diabetes Assoc's website ... my doctor referred me there as having great information - it didn't, most of it is pretty vague and 'refer to your diabetes health care team' - yeah right - I waited 3 yrs just to get a family physician/GP and end up...

Scare story: 15 years ago my brother was diagnosed Type2, he too had trouble with motivation, he also suffered from depression, and would go through regular periods of 'what the f**k, it's all ***** so why even freakin bother trying to control it?" ... 10 years ago he lost his left leg below...

heh... that reminds me, I have a new reason now to bop Him on the head again about getting the chicken coop built mwhahahahah - there's an upside to everything. Just finishing my breakfast - two perfectly poached eggs on a bed of fresh baby spinach dressed with 2 tbsp of avocado salsa.

9.4 at 0840 :( - guess it should have been only half a sweet potato last night...

my favourite thus far has been 2 poached eggs on a bed of fresh baby spinach dressed with an avocado salsa .... doesn't feel quite so much like 'naked eggs' and the spinach has a nice crunch with them

thanks everyone, daisy1 - thank you - that's really helpful information and some of the first real information I read in the first couple days after diagnosis while I was burning out my google-fu :D thank you for the cake recipe PendoldAPD, baking and pastries are definitely my achilles heel...

heh true enough, but I do like something a tad less bitter ... and I love a nougat, or a cherry creme now and again I'm not a bad hand at making candies, but it's nice to have a professional willing to cater to my needs :D

8.0 - better than yesterday, better than the day before - target range in sight
