I find it does work if you "confuse" your body by changing things about. At the moment I'm not planning as well as I can but I'm trying to fit in a few dinner only days which is reasonably straightforward with all the cupboard culling I have on the go. Even now I still have times with unexplained rises but at least they're nothing like the 15- 19's when I followed NHS advice. Well done on getting a GP that understands too. It makes such a difference.I am doing pretty well with the amount of food taken in but not in terms of lower BG or reduced weight. Still working on it though. Trying intermittent fasting but am also looking at the 5:2 diet.
I don't feel any different really that I suppose isn't good because if it made me feel ill I would be less tempted to over carb . Though I do always want carbs the next day if I have over indulged .@Annb that’s great news about your GP being informed and supportive of your low carb and fasting approach. Sounds like a keeper! Good luck with the baking next week, could you go round to her house to do it with her? That’s what I do now if my granddaughters want to make ordinary cakes, then at least I don’t have to keep half used packs of sugar etc around.
@mojo37 how did you feel after your BG spike. I feel quite ill these days if I’ve gone too high.Its not the high reading itself, it’s the comedown afterwards. A good thing really as it keeps me more or less on the straight&narrow!
NE1 was 2 eggs 1 slice Gouda and a flaxseed bun
NE2 Baked salmon with an avocado, tomato and lime salsa.
CWC to drink this morning and tea this aft.
Gather the cakes freeze well for up to two months so should be great for having in stock. They keep seven days in fridge. They arrive in cellophanepacks of four - two in each box of 8 - so I’ve split them down to twos so can have variety over time. They bake to order and takes about a week to bake, pack and arrive but they are very responsive to messaging. They had a stall at real food rocks festival and Basra had gestational diabetes hence the business.Bed 7.4 FBG 7.7. Still a bit high but they are fine during the day. Ah well, at least I'll get to Aqua Zumba tomorrow.
B. TAG with ADOC and that was it. I then put hours of effort into the cupboards. I've now emptied out all the vacuum bags and blitzed loads of stuff. Today I remembered to put my latex gloves on. I've never reacted well to dust and working in the depth if dusty cupboards have now caused a breakout on my left hand. The blitz was followed by another circular journey to the charity shop, clothing recycling and the drive in recycling for the stuff clothing recycling doesn't take. My Hubby, who reckoned there was no way I could transplant all the bedding/towels under our bed has now had to eat his words. I've even separated all the Chistmas tablecloths, napkins, runners , dishtowels and bathroom towels into their own storage box.
L. Nothing - not surprisingly.
D. M&S best ever burger with mustard, cornish cove cheese slice, few mushrooms, little bit lettuce and santini tomatoes, 1/2 avocado and hellmans. Also a few veggie chips.
1/2 a mint grenade bar.
These king cherries are calling to me again so I'll have a few later.
@DJC3 - we still have cauliflower but, as everyone else is saying they are very small. Having said that the celeriac was tiny for ages but they're improving now.
@shelley262 - glad to hear the guilt free stuff is yummy. I suspect I'll order some now as they would be handy for my cannot be bothered days.
@DCUKMod not the one you recommended (that was a bit tall for the basket), but this arrived yesterday. If using the skewers it gives room for 3 layers of food in the air fryer!

That looks fab, GG. The link I suggested was just as a thought starter, but yours looks much, much better.
Do you have a link to it? Having shelves, I don't need it for the air fryer, but it could be useful in the IP for some pot-in-pot cooks.
