I got these from Tesco - they're frozen and take about 6 minutes to cook straight from the freezer.

Roast chicken (from frozen), 40g sliced baked sweet potato, soya beans. I'm really getting to love soya beans.

I found this interesting article about the end of rationing boosting diabetes and hypertension which set those of us born or conceived after 1953 to be at risk. Sadly I inherited my mother's sweet tooth, and, well, here I am now...

Yeah! It ended up being a 9-hour day in the end. Unfortunately this year I've been to A&E soooo many times with family members, and what looks to be a simple problem either ends up being all day or an admission for a few days. Ironically, now that you mention the grab-bag, I don't have one for...

So it was panic stations this morning and I had to accompany Eldetly Relative to A&E - something I always dread. Amaziny got triaged within 15 minutes, then a 3.5 hour wait for treatment. Sadly in all the rush and a naive belief that they'd get seen in 1.5 hours promised, I'd had no lunch. The...

Thanks @LivingLightly! Much appreciated. The frozen chicken comes with skin off and the dog also likes it but I'll probably buy a fresh one soon and do a proper roast. I can't stand cauliflower: I was permanently put off by cauliflower in school dinners :depressed: but in "rice" form I may just...

Many thanks for that detailed explanation @HairySmurf ! Based on that I will leave my settings at those values and see how I get on. The overall impression is that "everyone is different" and that CGMs are good but not to be taken solely at face value. Although "no finger-pricking is allegedly...

Thanks to both - that looks more realistic and it also allows me to eat :)

Roast (baked) chicken breast - skin off, no fat/oil used; brown basmati rice, raw chestnut button mushrooms, slice of sourdough bread. Dash of fiery Swedish chili sauce on the chicken. About 30gm carbs all in.

Hi all, I think I'm starting to get up to speed on getting to grips with BG monitoring using a Libre 2 CGM and a T200+ BGM. However, conversion between measurement units is causing me problems, and I'm trying to figure out how to set my target range on the Librelink app (Android) for my...

Ah! That's really helpful :) - looks like my GP is trying to confuse me!

It arrived today, so my arm is now part-shaved ready for the Grand Installation! Yes, I'll be certainly checking those out, but I'm also preparing myself to tackle Ezekiel Bread - should be fun! I shall report back ...

Being quite foodie I'm always in the lookout for useful food sites, and recently came across Foodstruct.com so I'm sharing it here. Among other things they have a glycaemic index link which is really useful to me, and I'm encouraged to learn that "The glycemic index values from online sources...

Well, my GP has suddenly become proactive! I'm due to attend a course run by Reed Wellbeing. Exciting stuff!

Can you cook brown rice in it? I know it can take twice as long as white rice in a normal pan but if a rice cooker can help I might well buy one.

Thanks, that's very useful! I'm currently waiting for my T200+ to arrive and I started keeping a food diary as soon as I read the test results. I'm also waiting to try a Freestyle Libre 2, but will see how useful it is before I commit to regular use.

Are you using a BG monitor? I'd be interested to know how useful you find it?

Hey there fellow raver! How's the hearing these days?

I feel like I'm among friends here - much appreciated! I've ordered a T200+ and will start testing in earnest.
