True, but I couldn't eat a whole one!
True, but I couldn't eat a whole one!the medicinal property of babies and little people should never be underestimated.
Lucky you having rhubarb in your garden, and the apple trees must be so lovely in spring. If you do a search on this site you will find lots of recipes for low carb crumble - and low carb more or less anything else you might desire.rhubarb, it grows in my garden just next to my apple trees and I do looooove rhubarb crumble, hmmmm can it be that I don't have to leave my crumble behind...please let it be so
Not even with melted butter?True, but I couldn't eat a whole one!
@Prem51 I do hope NOT useful!!!Not even with melted butter?
Double cream is ALWAYS better.You're right. Double cream might be better!
My grandfather wasn't keen on cats. Every Sunday he would take us out for a drive in his car (a luxury in those days) climaxing in tea in a variety of tea shops. There would always be a resident cat who would make a bee-line for my grandfather and jump onto his lap. He was actually rather proud of this, and never discouraged them, but would comment that it was a "funny thing..." Maybe both animals and small children prefer those who don't fuss them?Small children and animals do seem to like me for some reason.

My grandfather was definitely not on a low carb or high protein diet.Cats are very good at detecting ketones in the breath. A dearly departed Type 1 was hounded by our cat (years ago), and said the pear drop smell was the reason.

That's what I think! Or at any rate an undiagnosed pre-diabetic, which would have been enough to explain the cardiac problems which eventually finished him off. I imagine pre-diabetes was not even thought of then, let alone detected. I used to think that my family were extremely prone to heart attacks and strokes, but at least we didn't have to worry about diabetes. Now I think differently!But was he an undiagnosed diabetic?

Very interesting! Yes, one of our family friends was diabetic. He was obese. He was different. It was a very unusual condition then. It never occurred to anyone in my family to wonder if they could be diabetic too.If he had pear drop breath/ketones attracting attention of cats, his blood sugar levels would have been quite high - not pre-diabetic levels. Judging from your age, your granddad must have died a very long time ago in the days when diabetes was not routinely checked for. Many of our grandparents/even parents could have been undiagnosed type 2s.

That makes a whole lot of sense to me, I'm usually on fire through the night, ooeerr missus hehe, sweating and legs on fire and I just seem to be getting lighter and lighter no matter how much I try to eat, one day I might be a bit of a pig and eat lots with, of course, the elevated bg's but the following day or three I'll not have anything other than coffee, again with the expected terrible bg's. I go for walks as much as possible but I'm using a walking stick and best described as waddle around, my ankles have developed a mind of their own with an attitude and tend to point my feet out the way, hmm there's a definite penguin comparison, so after a distance my spine and stomach are complaining making me nauseous but, I must emphasise, the smile never leaves my face. Recently my left leg has been quite painful and I've apparently got to consider I might be losing it which, as you can imagine, isn't easy to take, I've lost so much already and becoming more and more useless as time passes.Hi. If you really are 2 stone underweight i.e. have a BMI below average then your pancreatitis may be reducing your insulin output and the body burning some fat to cope. Keep an eye on your readings in case they start to go up. Keep the carbs down but have enough fat and protein.
