GP receptionist phoned to confirm that my Humilin S prescription has been upped to 3 packs at a time. Might stretch that out to a month. We'll see.
A bit heavy on the carbs today - commercially produced frozen mashed potato with peas and some duck breast. Tasted fantastic but I'm hoping that, since the potato was frozen, it wouldn't be too bad. Started the day with bacon and eggs, so no carbs there. Finished the day with a "Mumbai roll" - a wheat flour wrap, dipped in egg and fried with a filling of potato and peas (left over from lunch) with spring onion, tomato and a few spices, rolled up and then refried. Very good taste and very bad for carbs, but I enjoyed it.
I also had a little taste of some mango I was pureeing to make lassi for Em. I've never liked mango but this was actually pretty good - I did add a squeeze of lemon which sharpened the taste a bit. The idea was to test if the fruit sugar would upset me as much as other sugars/sweeteners do. The answer is no.
DIL sent some home made halloumi for me to try. It's very good. I must ask her how it is made. She also sent a little pot of home made jam. Tasted a tiny drop on the tip of a spoon and it was very good tasting but I mustn't eat it. Living dangerously today.
