[QUOTE="lrw60, post: 403229, member: 64443"] Hi Pam, Sundi was incredibly laid back. But he died 25 years ago. I grew up with him around me as a kid. It wasn't the same when he went. I never managed any success with any of my attempts at low-carb baking. I couldn't get the flour to hold together. I have made my own vegetarian pies that are successful ('bout time for another batch!). I know that this sounds like a weak try at low-carbing, in a way it is, but I am trying to see how 'normal' my diet can be without starting the diabetes again. I judge that level by my weight, if I stay below 13 stones (12st 4lb today) then I am convinced I can live a fairly normal life. Quite soon I will be taking my friend Lorna out for a meal at our favourite pub in a small village, Bottalack, near-ish to Lands End. I will be having my usual meal of curried butternut squash with far too much rice! If that wasn't enough rice for one day, I will also be having their home made rice pud with clotted cream and jam! In the past this combination would make me feel as if my head was ready to burst, now the affects are quite mild. I will resume normal service dreckly, as they say in Cornwall. The eye drops only sting a bit, no restraints required. You will then sit somewhere to allow the drops to dilate your pupils before they call you in for the pictures of your eyes to be taken. They normally show you the pics on screen and give you the results there and then. Your doctor will get the full results and let you know. Have they told you not to drive? You won't be able to. You will find everything much brighter for a while so take strong sunglasses with you and either get someone to drive you home or take a taxi. Believe me, you probably won't even be able to look at the computer screen. Lee. [/QUOTE]
