I miss refined sugar, but not tempted to try. After putting on 4 stone in weight, due to two different anti drepressents; since being diagnosed with type 2 in January. I've lost , over 6 Stone.
was diagnosed as a Type 2 diabetic with the characters of Type 1, 4 years ago. Now, not that this is best practice, but since becoming a diabetic, it has really sorted out my eating habits and I am a lot happier and healthier since. I still enjoy all the same foods, just not in the same proportions and especially with sweet treats at as often. Testing my blood and injecting Insulin, isn't too much of a bother, because it doesn't take long. I guess what I miss most is "Freedom". By this I mean, if I forget to prep properly before heading out. I went on a country walk with my 4 year old and half way round, I started to have the effects of a hypo, so unfortunately I had to cut the walk short and hurry back to the car, with my 4 year old on my shoulders to get my glucose tablets. This was annoying. So lesson learned and always learning.[/miss vanilla slices , chocolate biscuits and my latest 2 foods that effect me now are eggs and fish
well I still eat chrisps but now eat Salt and ShakeCrisps
I make sure to build treats into my diet and that includes ice cream like mini magnum - it is actually easier with bars because the amount is controlled for you and the calories and carbs are on the packetNot having a mini magnum for a desert after dinner - I used to love them, especially in weather such as this ....
I miss Baking,having a glass of wine,xJust thinking about birthday treat im planning for myself ,A long hike somewhere new and a pub lunch in the middle ,so biggest miss for me is just being able to hike without taking all the kit we need and having the only problem of hunger if too long without food and not the hypo /hyper type of worrying
1 glass of not sweet red wine is not that bad for blood glucose , actually 1 glass can lower ones blood glucose up to about 1 mmol, but only the first glass...because it blocks the liver a bitI miss Baking,having a glass of wine,x
so wonderful and romantic as well... wowI recently found an online newspaper from when she was 18 talking about how she and my grandfather and another couple eloped from their mountain village to a nearby town and got married by a justice of the peace, shocking the locals. WHen my grandfather shortly afterwards went off with his rifle (which he showed me) to WWI with his and her family other members, she sent him a photo of the results in his absence, my father as a babe in arms with an inscription on the back saying "Keep the home fires burning", a popular song at the time on the radio. When you are raised rock farming, you know how to make and do lots of stuff with very little. The sheet music is here:

Sounds of the original recording and that version on Youtube has the words
One of these days, we can talk rendering the hogs and making scrapple, no?
Making rope beds?
On the other hand, some of the things I learned as children and ate out in the country are definitely carborific and dangerous to the health. And some of them are accurately represented in the following cookbook , one of a series, but this one has the stuff that usually shows up at pot luck dinners
