Hels - I bought sausages from the butcher too but got a bit too excited shopping this week so they are in the freezer for next week and I'll cook them all up on Sunday and easy to take to work. I've started cooking rissoles/sausages in the oven. Spray tray, prick, walk away 40 mins - not burnt...

I made a quiche today that I can either take to work and heat up or eat while I'm taking my dog outside in the mornings. Smells so yummy and is wafting over from the kitchen now. Might have to sample it now for dinner! I did use milk and will try with just water next time or maybe cream and...

Jan I think all dogs are colour blind so I should probably give her a pass on that one hehe :D She was just so good at it!

Thanks Zacthedog. Hadn't thought of that. This time it was after being cooked but good to note for future. Oh no - missed testing opportunity. I'm still figuring out the right amount for a test. My meter should allow a second draw on same strip if you don't get enough but I haven't got that to...

Oh they look interesting @AndBreathe. Might have to try that next weekend. I'd prefer something I can just eat at my desk because my most productive time is before about 10.30am and I hate not using it fully. But I think I'm also going to have to change my thinking that it is ok to stop and do...

I totally understand the bfast issue. I'm normally out the door at 5.40am and honestly really don't feel like eating then even if I just got up earlier. I've bought ingredients to make up a quiche like thing and I'm going to try eating that cold on the train, or if I don't like then microwave it...

The bookfest was great! Yes I need a new kindle too. The old one gave out after many years of much use so might look around for one this week. And we have a holiday Tuesday and Monday I only have to be available from home if something goes wrong so 2 extra reading days! It's also my dog's fault...

New to blood testing. Tonight the oven timer went off and I was reading and with all good intentions of getting up I kept reading and then forgot. Finally remembered so jumped up and quickly blood tested (bit more towards the front of finger than normally do) then started cutting all my chicken...

Thanks Linagirl. Will be trying that!

Thanks for those tips. I'm chronically vitamin deficient and once one goes for me the rest just topple down like dominos. I hadn't heard about taking vit D in morning. I'm also severe insomniac and I get really frustrated when it seems I've done everything the same and I just don't sleep. But in...

I've seen a few times people suggesting vit D tests too. Is this just something to check or is there a higher correlation with the diabetes spectrum? I haven't gone back to gp yet after blood tests and there is no diagnosis for me (but it's clearly given me a scare whatever the results are and...

Thanks - yes my iOS is up to date but it's a new iPad. I forgot lol. So yes - some accessibility settings were on that were not on when I did the transfer from my old iPad. I've turned them off (except inverse colours and zoom) and seems to be working a lot better so far. Thanks! I forgot Apple...

I am concerned about pre-diabetic (hopefully only that) but have put off my next dr appt after last blood test (some other medical stuff came up but kinda think I'm just avoiding it if I'm honest and I only realized that today) but I am testing blood sugar and trying to see effect of different...

Thanks. Any bread is out for me. Tried more grainy bread but it's gone. When I'm at home I have been frying eggs, bacon mushrooms and will add some other veggies next time. It's trying to find a bfast to eat at work or is 5 mins total. I'm thinking of making a quiche at beginning of week and...

Sorry if in wrong spot. When I'm replying on my iPad (new and still having settings disagreements) but it keeps closing the on screen keyboard. It's ok now typing new topic, but replying is frustrating. It seems to only be a problem if I'm holding it. If I put on the table it's better. Has...

Thanks Mike for the heads up. I'm thinking that it will. Just want to see so I'm not unnecessarily cutting something out. I was surprised the risotto was ok. I tend to get really hungry without pasta/rice. Do you have any suggestions to replace? I had some trouble with kidneys and too much...

Thanks for the info and welcome. I've been reading a lot so am planning to mostly just have a break today. I'm sick and prob going back to bed. I've been testing waking, before and after meals and bedtime. What would be a normal value 2 hours after meals (non diabetic) - that's my target. I have...

I'm all very new to this but literally half an hour ago I tried to test this. I tried base of fingers and forearm and back of hand and couldn't get a decent drop (even where I now have bruises so I clearly did hi the vein I was going for). Veins at wrist (Palm up) 6.4 while finger was 5.4. So a...

Is it possible to feel low when it's normal if you are mostly higher until you adjust. I'm wondering if that's my night time issue. Also I really think my numbers are much better than they truly would have been as I'd been reading and thinking about this for about a month before I got my meter...

Thanks. I'm mostly having bacon and eggs for breakfast. Lunch I'm still working on - any sandwiches are bad for me. Mostly rissoles / chicken & veggies. Dinner - chicken & veggies. I can have small sultana bran with milk. I've bought some healthy muesli so will try that tomorrow and see. I...
