Hi AB Thanks for thinking of me, but I play for team vegan now so no eggs and butter. I have a pal who made a vegan lemon meringue pie using aquafaba in place of egg whites, but he isn't diabetic so used regular sugar. I think subbing both the eggs and sugar in meringue might be a tweak too far I am loving my new way of eating and my hba1c has dropped from 40 to 35 this year since retiring from being a cheese monster.
 
Brunch: peanut butter on toasted Lidl roll
Dinner: same as yesterday but with Cajun spices added to the mince
Extras: golden milk, liquorice tea
 
@Ledzeptt How did you like the 99% chocolate? I tried the Hotel Chocolat 100% one but wasn't a fan :***:
 
Hi @AvocadoSevenfold

I think the 99% chocolate may be an acquired taste! I have been eating 85%, so I'm used to dark chocolate, but I think I do like some sugar.

It was good not caring about the carbs: 10g of chocolate only had 0.8g.

As you probably found with the Hotel Chocolat, there's no point taking things to extremes just because you can.
 
@Ledzeptt The 100% was in a selection box from Santa. I wouldn't have been brave enough to buy it myself. I will stick to their ginger puddles in future. They are awesome.
 
B: golden milk
L: toasted Lidl roll with peanut butter
D: last of the mince and mash
Snack: peanuts
 
Just to be different ... and to prove again to my disbelieving self that my T2 has gone into remission .. I had today ...
B cheese on toast
L cheddars with cheese and cucumber
D Leek and potato pasty .. needless to say home made .. with a fresh salad and coleslaw
S chocolate sponge and cream

highest level 6.1 .. happy days
 
Just had a late dessert of my lovely wife's gorgeous plum and chia jam with natural yogurt. OMG! Sometimes being diabetic is sooooo hard
 
In contrast to @Welshman1952 I'm still up messing around on t'internet, eating an unplanned supper, because my BG is too low for some unfathomable reason and I don't want a hypo in the night.

Supper: hot chocolate and oat cakes (my go-to emergency, long lasting carb boost).

It could be worse, but I'm not hungry and I have to be up for work tomorrow.

Yes, diabetes can be hard


B: Muesli. Actimel.

L: Hummus salad sandwich and popcorn

D: Quorn & veg pie, peas, chips and gravy

Snacks: Mixed nuts. Scone & cream.

Anyway, I'm finally off to bed! xx
 
Thanks @AvocadoSevenfold - I'm fine today, just tired!

Enjoy GBBO - I don't think we have much in the way of treats in the cupboard, so I may copy you and go with chocolate

B: Muesli, actimel and a croissant

L: Egg mayo sandwich & a samosa

D: Pasta with a bean & tomato sauce

No snacks (yet) - I'm well below my target calorie intake, which is NOT a good thing for me.
 
Same meals as yesterday except for some button mushrooms with dinner and a few pecans for a snack. I was very pleased with the seitan chorizo results yesterday

pre - 5.2
1hr - 5.9
2hr - 5.1

Currently cooking some wine-***** tomatoes. They better be worth it as the oven will be on for 4 hours!
 
B: Granola, Greek yogurt & blueberries. Actimel

L: LM sausages, eggs & beans with toast.

D: Spanish chickpeas & rice

Snacks: Almonds.

I'll be interested to learn how the wine-***** tomatoes come out.

They are lovely, thanks, but I think I would turn my oven up a little next time as it was on too low and is a piece of junk. They are soft, sweet and garlicky, but could be more chewy.

Tonight I am grazing on snacky things for dinner.

Lidl toast, lemon hummus, seitan chorizo, ***** tomatoes, olives and peanuts.

 
B: Muesli. Actimel.

L: Cheese & mushroom omelette with salad. Cream cake.

D: Nut cutlet, potatoes & carrots.
 
Brunch: facon and ***** tomatoes on Lidl roll

Snack: peanuts

Dinner: tried the recipe for Christmas Loaf from the Cauldron website. I think there are a couple of errors in this recipe (too little stock and not enough water for the chia-egg) but it came out well in that it didn't fall to bits and could be easily sliced. But it lacked flavour. To be honest, I didn't faff about with the marmalade part of it - perhaps that would have added flavour. It has potential.
