Yum! Sounds wonderful5.2 this morning mind you started using Codefree again with new batch of strips and did have a full Christmas dinner Turkey and all the trimmings with a dollop of bread sauce which I do like a lot, that my Grandson cooked for us.
Not to mention the spuds halved and roasted in skins with chilli and garlic topped with cheese.
More prone to diabetes, from what I understand. A few on my course when I was diagnosed in 2002. They weren't overweight thou, if anything underweight. Everyone is different with diabetes.I wonder if alcoholics then are less prone to diabetes .....
Thanks @13lizanne Adrian is giving us a call either today or tomorrow will pass on your good wishes he will be most appreciative I'm sure.Yum! Sounds wonderful
The good fat in the roast pots, cheese etc will have helped? So glad that you enjoyed your Christmas dinner John, we remembered your son at the Blessing at our Christmas dinner x
''It still defies logic if drinking alcohol diverts the liver's function of releasing glucose! lol Weird!
Chicken breast cooked in quince paste, thyme, garlic, salt pepper and red wine with broccoli, sprouts, a couple of small new potatoes then fried a little in extra olive oil and added rosemary. A glass of red wine followed by a white nectarine.
I was dreading the reading more than ever, but needlessly so - 5.9!
Does anyone know why today is called Boxing Day?

Drinking alcohol can contribute to the conditions that cause diabetes
There are three main ways drinking alcohol to excess can be a factor in causing diabetes:
1.Heavy drinking can reduce the body’s sensitivity to insulin, which can trigger type 2 diabetes.
2.Diabetes is a common side effect of chronic pancreatitis, which is overwhelmingly caused by heavy drinking.
3.Alcohol contains a huge amount of calories – one pint of lager can be equivalent to a slice of pizza. So drinking can also increase your chance of becoming overweight and your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.''
''Teetotallers and heavy drinkers have an equally high risk of developing diabetes
Low levels of alcohol could potentially provide some level of protection against developing diabetes. According to a review of 15 previous studies (in 2005) into the link between diabetes and alcohol, ‘moderate drinkers’ (who drank between one and six units per day) were a third less likely to develop type 2 diabetes than either people who didn’t drink alcohol or those who drank heavily. This is thought to be because low to moderate levels of alcohol actually make the body more sensitive to insulin''

Me too. Although if I drank it sent me to sleep when I had fatty liver because liver couldnt process alcohol without huge effort.Thanks John so maybe if I actually had drunk a little throughout my life might have staved off diabetes ..... Food for thought!

Actually boxing day is more to do with the wealthy boxing up old Christmas presents to give to their servants and local poor people the day after Christmas day this was explained to me by my cousins Grand Father who was head butler to the Earl of Morley at Saltram House for many years.
You too, honey - enjoy your swim! xxHa ha ... you won the FBG lottery @debrasue well done, I'm up in the 7s but totally deserve it. Off for a swim soon and a walk later to bring it down. Happy Christmas
So if I drink more alcohol I'll decrease my insulin sensitivity?''
