Late night snack - it's that time again

[deadwood2]

Go on, what do you keep in your fridge for the late night munchies?

I seem to be hungrier before bed than I used to be - and if I don't have something, I'll wake at about 3 and not get back to sleep.

Right now I can see a bagel that looks as if it's on death row, but it's not ideal, is it? :?

Leave the bagel on death row!!!Step away from it now,nothing to eat there!! :lol: :lol:
Cheese/nuts/ham/anything like that in the fridge?

Have you taken a BG reading when you wake up? If you're going low, it might be time to discuss reducing your meds with your doctor - this is what was happening to me earlier this year.

Regards, Tubs.

Cheese? That's bad for you, isn't it? Anyway, no unless you count lo-fat Philli (other brands, etc) - I thought I'd done well cutting down on that drastically.. Almonds, walnuts - right out of waldorfs, though - Ham, yes. Dried apricots and dates? No, I thought not..

T: Cheers. Quack's only going to give me a meter in a fortnight, when I've had time to assimilate the guff the nurse gave me yesterday (see rants passim). Being an impatient patient I got one from Boots on Sunday and so far 5.8 (midday), 7.5, 6.8. Not sure what to do with that info yet, if anything. Probably nothing for the time being.

I think I'll just keep gently tweaking the diet towards low fat, low carb and see what happens.

Cheese, ham, nuts. Ok. But's it's begging for a bagel

If you are low carbing there is no need to go low fat as well,unless ,like me ,you can't tolerate fat.

 

[deadwood2]

Can't quite fathom that - but it's late.

I suppose half and half is out of the question?!

 

[sugarless sue]

Fat eaten with lots of carbs is bad,fat eaten with very low carbs is OK.It is late but there are threads that explain it much better than me!!

Rings a bell. Read it here tonight... Denis and the American Wheat Growers, perhaps?
