Type 2 Life

Ouch to the split finger. My Dad used to wet a match and rubbed the resulting pink paste into any warts. Don't remember having many but it worked...Just the normal pink ones tho
 
I know exactly what you mean!! We have a black lab who considers it doggy Chanel and we have to watch her like a hawk around the garden. But I have become quite expert at recognising the beginning of the "shoulder drop" and bellowing "OYYYYY!!!!!", which usually stops her in her tracks with a guilty expression.
 
Morning Ron. Hope they get to the bottom of your leg problem...@Cumberland had a terrible time with his a few months ago. Hot, sore, swollen, painful. Something itis....cellulitis? Not sure... Needed antibiotics too....
 
Maybe if you get a good blender you could do that now? Without the bottle of course. Make some vegetable soups .. I like soups with feta or blue cheese melted in them..but plenty of soup an no (or very little) bread.
You need to avoid carbohydrates in food where you can; these are found in sugar itself, all breads, pastry, cakes, pasta, potatoes and rice. If you can't easily cut these out then brown rice, wholeweat pasta, wholemeal and seeded breads are a better alternative. Cheeses, eggs, meats are better for making sandwiches than marmite as you have a bulkier, protein rich filling so you won't eat as much bread. Maybe a slice of toast piled with scrambled eggs mayb?
Hope this is of help. It's hard enough to change your eating style when you can eat other foods but if you are restricted by other issues it must be doubly hard.
Wish you well with the task in hand

I know that "shoulder drop" soooooo well and strangely enough "Oy" is exactly what I use too
 
Hi all Rons had an x ray on his pelvis today wont get the results for two weeks . I've now got him home till Wednesday . Hopefully no more problems over the weekend. At the moment he's asleep on the sofa think the co codamol must make him sleepy ,I know that's what it did to me. Hate seeing him like this but now I've given up work I can devote all my time to him . Love to you all .xxx
 
We have a lovely weekend coming up... It's my grandson's 3rd birthday so he and his mum & dad are coming from Nottingham to visit. My daughter and her husband will be over too, with the two Tiny Terrorists, so it promises to be a fun weekend. I bought a Thomas the Tank Engine birthday cake for the kids and have adapted Ewelina's chocolate mousse cake recipe to make a flour-&-sugar-free Black Forest Gateau for the grownups (cream to be added tomorrow). It looks pretty good, even if I say so myself - can't wait to try it!
I think I have the food sorted, too - bacon & eggs for Sun & Mon breakfast, roast pork for Sunday's dinner, and a takeaway curry for Saturday evening, which I know will be fine as I tested it last weekend (chicken korma with mashed cauliflower & celeriac instead of rice). I wonder if I should try a poppadom.......?

Evening, unwinding after a hard day at work. Sunny spells but cold. Having a light dinner as pre-dinner BM was 8.1 mmol/l. Injected my tea time insulin at 6 pm but they haven't went down.
 
The better the comeback the better the banter lol.
 
BMs now at 15 mmol/l after looking at debrasue's picture of that Black Forest Gateaux lol
 
@Sable_Jan how are you and the wolf pack keeping ? Is Rocks still keeping well and active ?

Well, if you ate the whole **** thing, it would serve you right!!!!! (129.5g of carbs) LOL
Alternatively, if you just had a fat slice (1/8th of a cake) it would be 16.2g of carbs and 547 cals, or a thin slice (1/16th of a cake) would be 8g of carbs and 274 cals.
I know, I know - nobody likes a smart-****. I just can't help it.
 
I'm just smart lol
 
Sunset here is 2054 so a fair bit of daylight left. I could do a barbecue if it was warmer lol.
 
Go for it you only live once
 

Thin slice please. Might be able to handle the liver dump tomorrow morning lol.
 
I'd bring the steaks and the Prosecco, if you were having a barbecue. WHAT a pity it's not warmer.
Yummy. Sunset in Bristol is 2030 so up here an extra 20 minutes cooking time lol.
