When I go to IKEA it's usually because I crave a slice of their apple cake although it's not really that sweet and has cinnamon! It was my birthday yesterday and I was sorely tempted, but didn't go just in case ..... ! lol

why don´t you take a whisky or a gin, those kinds of spirits if only 1 actually lowers your blood glucose a bit...

Or a glass of red wine Good for the heart!

Or a Tia Maria coffee I used to make them for a friend of mine who was a T2 long before me using sweetener instead of sugar it's now one of his favorite Christmas treats and mine.

An abacus would be more use, I could accidentaly knock it off the table and have to start again

I am the first customer every morning in our village bakery at 0700 my bread is beautiful warm and fresh

 

[pete254]

Definitely Tesco's tiger loaf,

Can't bear to go near the bread counter any more because the smell is so tempting!

Food wise I don't miss much as I carb count and have a good grasp on my ratios.

Life wise I miss my freedom. From the minute I wake to last thing at night diabetes is on my mind.

It's had a massive affect on my self confidence as I was poorly controlled for the first 5 years of diagnosis and I beat myself up for it but I'm getting over it.

But hey ho such is life. My mum always said if everyone threw their problems into the middle of the room and could pick any problem back up wed each pick our own. True for me. Some people are having an awful time in life and now I'm not doing too bad. Thanks be to God

Cheesecake and milkshakes.... it's only been 10 days

Carrying the kit around all the time and not leaving the house without a check to see that the meter, finger sticker, test strips, insulin, snacks, tissues....are in the kit.
