[QUOTE="Molly56, post: 703563, member: 84857"] [USER=120062]@angelicbaby[/USER] ....I take your point but not sure that totally answers the question...yes, I guess he has eaten less (though he doesn't eat to excess when he is up and well, despite what some may think) .....but what he has eaten has probably been reasonably high in carbs.....bread and butter / toast / porridge....I did make some homemade soup but am guessing that had some carbs in too (parsnip / carrot / leek / cauliflower / green beans and a very small potato).....has also had scrambled egg on toast a couple of times and bacon / mushrooms... Am trying to think what I can encourage him to eat as he is still not well....his immune system is obviously very low as he now has an eye infection too.. ....his solution to the problem is often to say 'well I just won't eat then' but I know that this is equally as bad as eating the wrong foods...he has to eat something otherwise I am guessing it will just make him more ill..:( Yesterday's blood sugar reading was 14.5 which was just after he had a bowl of soup and a small piece of baguette....I knew it would be higher but didn't want to discourage him doing it as it was perhaps the first time he has taken his blood sugar reading on his own initiative and without me suggesting it.....progress in my book.......at least it gave me an opportunity to explain why it was higher than previous days.. Feeling a bit like Mother Hubbard's dog as when i open the cupboard "the cupboard is bare".....have not done any shopping for Christmas yet as am trying to avoid buying any of the tempting sugary treats...if they are not in the house neither of us can eat them... Will try to think what else I can encourage him to eat over this period of illness and Christmas ....and hope that he is feeling better soon.... [/QUOTE]
