"What have you eaten" Parallel Chat

Breakfast: Avocado smashed onto 4 Jacobs' crackers. Coffee.

2nd meal will be some oxtail stew which I found in the freezer, with a few bits of boiled potato which I also found in the freezer. (Resistant starch, supposedly, but I am doubtful that it works that way for me. However, worth a try ...)

I've just put corned beef on the shopping list for next Thursday.

EDIT: 5.50 pm Oxtail stew and boiled potatoes in the oven, heating up but since a cup of coffee, about 3 pm, I've been feeling nauseous and bloated so may not have it after all. At least BG has come down into the 6's in the last hour.

Eventually felt better after a couple of hours, so I did have the stew and potato. Disaster for my BG. Took about 4 hours but BG went up from 6s to 10s by 11 pm and stayed there. Now in the 12s and I have just taken a correction dose to try to get it down to something a bit more reasonable.

I took some pork sausage meat out of the freezer along with the stew so will have to use that today. There is some starch in that, but it is a high meat product, so it shouldn't be too bad.

This is the aftermath of me being so unwell in the last few weeks when I had trouble keeping my BG up into the 4s and 5s despite stopping Metformin and taking a smaller basal dose of insulin and no bolus doses. On the rebound, I suppose.

I thought I was doing so well too.
 
Breakfast: 2 pork sausage patties with 2 fried eggs and one tomato sliced and fried with the patties. Coffee.

More coffee throughout the day, plus water and pills.

2nd meal: pork sausage meatballs in tomato and onion sauce.

BG has come more or less back under control being around 6 since I took that correction dose earlier.

Is there anyone out there? Or am I talking to myself? Trouble is, my own advice to me isn't much use and no support whatsoever. It's OK. I know you all have lives to lead, I'm used to doing my own thing.

I'm listening!

Life currently is so busy that I don't have much time for talking on here. :bag:
 
I've just logged in too but nothing much to report. Today is a rest and recovery day, as much of it in bed as possible.

Just ate a lovely meal of meatballs, sundried tomatoes, spinach and pine kernels. Hubby apologised for forgetting the linguine - I certainly don't mind!
