Thank you for the hug and the encouragement, Scandichic
You definitely eat better than me.
Hmmm , Well on waking every morning I drink a large glass of hot water with a quarter of a lemon squeezed in. Then take blood sugars.
Breakfast was Dr Mercola's protein shake made with unsweetened almond milk, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, 1 apple and a large chunk of grated ginger root which I think is helping me tolerate the metformin. Large cup of tea with semi skimmed milk
Lunch = celery sticks spread liberally with full fat brussels pate and large glass of water
Then after 1 hour brisk walk, my first 9bar (nutty) after hearing good things about it here, with a large cup of strong tea with skimmed milk
Bloods now, 2.5 hours after lunch and brisk walk are 6.7
Supper tonight will be a large organic salmon steak baked in the over in olive oil, with a bed of spinach with my first sugar-free jelly and a large dollop of cornish clotted cream
I've struggled to get my head round being able to eat high fat foods which I've avoided all my adult llife, but I'm facing my demons.....!
Also very low mood last night and this morning which by lunchtime had lifted
Hugs back to you
