Breakfast was after a 14hr 30min fast and was a fry-up at the local pub. Gave my husband half the hash brown. I did have some baked beans and a slice of toast, along with the sausage, fried egg and bacon. I had the toast and half hash brown, as I wanted to see what my bg reading would be. They...

I’ve never tried celeriac. What does it taste like?

I’ve been very naughty today. :bag: Had lasagne, salad and chips at the local pub, then got home and had some ice cream. Feel guilty now, but am going to do a 16:8 fast from this evening to make up for it, which will help put me back on track. I know it is only a “momentary” lapse; well a 2...

Godiva 90% dark chocolate is 14g per 100g. Very nice. Usually £2, but is on offer at the moment in Sainsbury’s at £1.50.

That’s good. Am glad your dr is doing a full MOT. I would also say that if you get those symptoms again, in the interim of your dr doing the tests and awaiting the results, that you go straight to A&E, just to be on the safe side, as sometimes it’s better for a medic to see exactly what’s going...

Also, keep your fluid intake up, to flush thru re the UTI.

I’ve found that a splodge of good quality vanilla paste (not essence), adds a nice flavour to plain yoghurt and is less carbs than if you bought vanilla flavoured yoghurt. Since being on a low carb diet, I’ve found that one has to be, erm, what’s the word, ah yes......inventive! Lol.

You can also get microwave friendly egg poachers; they’re really good.

Once I was diagnosed T2, I bought myself a bg monitor, having come to this site and read up on information about diabetes. I subsequently had my appointment with the DN and mentioned that I had bought a bg monitor and she felt that I should just concentrate on getting my weight down, as I had an...

Hi, I am glad that things are getting better for you. Just a thought, regarding anxiety etc, take someone with you when you have your appointments. I find that I’m so busy trying to take it all in and ask questions at the same time, that when I get home and am mulling over the consultation and...

Yes, I’m the same. Christmas has got in the way! Lol. I was hoping to drag my next HbA1c out until end of March, but the surgery rang the other day with a reminder to get my bloods done. Lol. Never mind. I have my blood test in ten days or so time. Fingers crossed it won’t be too bad....... I...

I’m type 2, but still get cheesed off with it all (no pun intended!). I was diagnosed last Sept/Oct and at that time felt quite cross with myself for not having lost weight, which could have prevented the diabetes. Mostly, I’m okay, but yesterday did feel down in mood and going food shopping...

So far, bacon and 2 fried eggs. Not sure about lunch, as not hungry yet. For main meal tonight, it will be chicken salad with 2 x baby tomatoes, feta and cheddar cheese.

Was just thinking, maybe you and your wife could do some batch cooking and freeze them. For example, if you are having a chicken curry, you could cook up the chicken for both of you and then separate portions of it, so that with your portions, you can make the necessary ingredient alterations...

I have 25g of Apple and 25g of pear, along with sugar free jelly and Greek yoghurt. My husband has the rest of the apple and pear. I seem to be ok bg wise with this amount of fruit. It’s not much, but it’s something. I agree with what you said about being newly diagnosed and checking carbs out...

I like to do a lot of oven cooking. For example, like tonight, I’m the type 2, so I’ll have 2 salmon fillets, some feta cheese, 2 small baby tomatoes and a green salad. My husband will have the salad, feta and toms, along with battered cod and Strong Roots vegetable fries, which he loves. For...
