Type 2 : CHRISTMAS TREATS

I am a type 2 in remission off all medication ....

I will be having baked ham I have found a diabetic friendly ham glaze that I am trying out. Veggies and Stuffed and Black olives. I will be having instant mashed potatoes, 26 g of carbs. I cook them in chicken broth instead of water. For dessert I bought a tiny pumpkin pie. I am trying to keep the portions under control

Breakfast will have one whole wheat English muffin with sugar free Marmalade. I know I am pushing it but it is a family tradition to have it. The sugar free marmalade is the best I can do, normally we would have Mackay's or Keller and Son, but they are loaded with sugar.

I am being really conservative with my numbers and swimming like a fish so any sugar has some place to go. I am planning on taking good long walk after Christmas dinner

Wish you all a merry Xmas. I am expecting coal from the big guy, but that is normal ........

Hi. It’s not the link above. It’s a company local to me (although they’re homeless at the moment as they had to give up their cafe in Greenwich). Delivery charges are steep - luckily for me I can pick up in person from an arranged point, which makes it far more of an option.

I find their cakes are not so sweet as Deliciously Guilt Free and as I can walk to pick them up (about 3.5 miles via the scenic route so some exercise too!) don’t need to order many to make it worthwhile. That’s a very good thing in my case as moderation does not come naturally to me!

I’m quite lucky down here - have also recently discovered (but not yet visited) a sugar free bakery/cafe near a part of the canal I frequent. Not everything there is keto, but they have a small keto section on the menu, so I’ll be investigating in due course.

I'm the same with sweet stuff i like it too much . The only thing that worries me is what is the keto desserts to sweeten them as artificial sweeteners cause me headaches ?

I use either straight erythritol or one of the erythritol and stevia mixes.

Enjoy! one of the advantages of living in a big city :)
 
Didn’t push it too much yesterday but did have a dessert for first time in 4 months, albeit a small one, 2x profiteroles with Belgian chocolate & single cream. Only pushed me briefly to 7.8 which was a pleasant surprise. My pre Xmas research identified profiteroles as one of the less bad desserts out there, probably due to the fact they’re mostly just cream. Will have a couple more for pud today!

Othet thing I’ve found is a glass of red wine really puts a lid on things or knocks back BG readings if they get a bit stuck or high post meals!
