What I don't get with all of the fakes, especially veggie or vegan fakes, is if the originals are so abhorant that alternatives need to be invented why oh why do they then want to call them by the original name? Surely chicken style Nuggets should be lab grown protein nuggets if meat is so bad.

I take vit D and magnesium. I have not noticed any drop in BG readings

Gosh @Goonergal you must have had a hungry day to eat a ton of Corned Beef!!

Spontaneity. Not having to think is it covid safe, have I got a mask, can I do or go.

Morrisons have food 3 or so items packed into a bag at the entrance to the store. They write the price of the bag on the top. You take it to the checkout and pay then pop it into the food bank. Our local food bank let the store know what they are short of so that they are not over run with...

Yes I drink 3 to 4 pints of water a day. @Goonergal pork belly is my favourite too. Unfortunately I didn't get to eat it yesterday. The door bell rang just as I was about to sit and eat it so off I went to answer it and I must not have closed the kitchen door fully as whe I came back in one or...

I am OMADing today with pork belly to look forward to this evening. So we will see how things go by the end of the week. I wonder if low level background anxiety is a weight stalker. This current situation and the government handling of it does very little to induce a sense of calm in anyone.

I am 57 post menapausal so no great hormonal swings anymore

I use time restricted eating with most days being 18:6. I don't tend to eat before 2pm. I am 90% carnivore and drink either water or coffee with cream. I decided to fast this weekend from 17.30 on Saturday through to 19.00 on Monday. I am doing this for weight loss rather than glucose control as...

I am also in a similar position. I don't find that it impacts my BG levels (my daily average is between 4.5 and 4.8) but I do find that I am drinking far too much coffee with cream. I swapped to decaf some time ago to see if caffeine was a trigger for migraine, it wasn't but I stuck with it...

Well deserved. I have seen a 3.5 on occasion but not consecutively. I tend to bob along between 4 and 4.5.

Yes but it was quite large.

Please may I join you. I stopped eating veg about 5 weeks ago but have stumbled a little with peanuts on a couple of occasions. I have not touched anything sweet for 18 months except for a half teaspoon to test my parents diamond wedding cake. My friend made it an was concerned that the white...

I agree that would be the ideal but I am unsure how that works in practice if tests are taking so long to come back and some people are asymptomatic.

I had mine last Saturday. The surgery hired the local football stadium and it was really well organised. The jab itself was the least painful of the last few years (no red lump).

Yes but you have to balance that with the lives that are lost because of lockdown. Those that are too scared to go to hospital those whose mental health is so affected they take their own lives.

Had my annual check with practice nurse yesterday. Hba1c 33 lowest of t in 12 years of diabetes 96 on diagnosis (2 years lc 52 to 33) All other results OK. I was braced for a "chat" about stations as my total cholesterol is 7.6, HDL 2.17, Triglycerides 0.8, Non hdl 5.4. I was amazed that the...

I resigned my membership of Diabetes UK after they signed on with Britvic. I wrote and asked if they thought it sent the wrong signal to be linked with a company who produce high sugar products and their response was that they could change things at Britvic now they were linked up together. As...

Yes they are littermates (brothers) one is very lab and the other very poodle. Both of them are lab in the way they eat anything they find! I am OMAD today - pulled pork. Smells good just waiting for it to finish cooking in the slow cooker.

@Chook Have you thought of having your OMAD meal early (ier) in the day rather than at tea time. Not sure if that would fit in with family life though.
