Hope you're ok now - keep a careful watch, I always find 'low' hypos are followed by another on the same day
Hypo of 2.9 at 5am
I have been ok since treating but by heck it’s scary
Same here. There is sooo much carbs in them thou lol....well worth the extra dose of insulin now and againThat's my favourite cake !!
I made 9 Stollen cakes one year. It took forever as it uses an enriched bread-type dough which needs to rest.
I only did that one year.
The next year, I made 9 x Pannetone. But I didn't give myself enough time to let them cool before driving off to the aunts (recipients of said cake) so they sunk in the car.
The Christmas cake (the following year) worked well.
As did the Lebkuchen one year.
Last year, I made Christmas fudge (fudge with mincemeat fruit, nuts and spices). Then I discovered one of the aunts was just diagnosed as type 2 so has gone low carb.
I don't know what I am going to make them this year.
Gets down on one knee.....Will you marry me?
Shhhhh....she doesn't make them type of cakesYou've only recently just done that with someone else!!!!

I've just watched the BBC News piece about Tom Watson losing weight and reversing type 2 diabetes. It's pretty impressive and a great message. At least most of it is. However, when the reported asks what his advice would be to people struggling with their weight or who may have been diagnosed with diabetes, it is a shame they don't distinguish between type 2 and other types. He says it is likely their condition can be put in remission. Not if they have been diagnosed with type 1!
He only comes once a year and that is usually down a chimney!!
Who did you steal it from? Don’t you feel a tad guilty resorting to such levels?so I had a stollen cake

@helensaramay and @Japes I don't know how either of you kept your temper!
So, a question type 1 buddies. Does any one else have problems with dogs jumping up at them? I carry a small rucksack containing jelly babies and my insulin. I am on hols in North Norfolk and have had 3 incidents with dogs jumping up at me this week. The one today being the worst. All 4 paws off the floor and big leaps up at me. The final leap making me scream. Just wondered if they could smell something.
I have passed many well behaved dogs also this week. However, I am coming to the view that if the dog is not easily controlled it should not be allowed off a lead. If I had been a small child it could have been a different story. Would have been flat on my back on the sands instead of berating the owner.
