Ah thanks, I wondered if the emails might be an easier way.
I am still having the odd glass of wine. Seems a shame not to when some of the meals have been so rich and delicious.
The fajita bowl was very good @DJC3 & @PenguinMum. Only thing I did to it was to add some sliced red peppers as well as green, added a bit chopped cucumber and did a mix of sour cream/mayo/lemon juice for the dressing. I am full! Even Hubby said it was rather good!
@DJC3 - are you getting the weekly weight loss for good emails from Diet Doctor? If so there is a button on the email - Go to Course. Click on that and it takes you to that week. You have the individual days that you can click on (which I use during the week to see what I'm supposed to be eating) or if you scroll down a bit that week's meal plan is there. Click anywhere on the pictures and it takes you there. If you've altered it (as I am prone to do) just underneath the meal plan pictures is a link to your altered versions that takes you straight there. There are also links to the various hints and tips and course articles.
The fajita bowl was really easy. Ripped up lettuce, chopped up tomatoes and avocado. I added in chopped cucumber as I said. Pop it into a bowl. They just used sour cream - I mixed mayo, sour cream and lemon juice. Only cooking is put sliced chicken breast into a wok and stir fry with a little oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the onion and the sliced peppers, stir and cook a but more then add the seasoning mix (I used fajita mix). You might need a touch more oil. Stir until the chicken is totally cooked then serve on top of the chopped salad, add grated mexican cheese, sprinkle over chopped coriander and enjoy - glass of dry white would have been wonderful with it but I'm trying to stay away from it for now.
I just worry for you x Don't want you to hypo.@maglil55 I am taking insulin and trying to see how far I can reduce it and still keep my BG reasonably low.
Today it didn't work so well. FBG was 4.9 - that after BG 7.9 last night and a smaller than usual basal dose (not much lower). I had to go out again this morning (to Stornoway for a nurse's appointment). So I had another 2 eggs scrambled with butter and a little cream after insulin of 32 units. When I came back BG was 7.4 but by 12.35 it was 6.5.
Had more insulin (32 units) and chicken wings - 5 of them.
7 pm - BG 7.8, 34 units and 3 sardines.
We'll see what happens. Obviously just about under control, but still not good at the slightly lower bolus dose. Feeling a bit nauseous but at least, since stopping beef, my insides are not burning. I will try beef again - just to see how I react - but not yet.
I've kept my campari and soda on a Sunday but staying off the wine for now. You're right though, the meals are delicious. It's changed a lot since @Brunneria, @Chook & myself did the 2 week challenge. This week has been particularly enjoyable. I'm returning to week 2 (I think)next week before I don my snorkel for the Deep Dive!Ah thanks, I wondered if the emails might be an easier way.

Be still my beating heart. before I don my snorkel for the Deep Dive!
Congratulations on the results.Hi all
Breakfast after swimming one slice bacon,egg and half a toasted chaffle
Lunch cheese and celery sticks
Mid pm coffee and a few squares of montezumas 100% with orange oil
Dinner chicken wrapped with prosciutto with asparagus and caulirice stir fried with ginger and mushrooms. Pudding lc cake warmed with yoghurt oh also I had a glass of dry fizz to mark my relief today at my 6monthly review tests. I had bloods taken a week and a half ago and have been fretting quietly ever since - especially when took so long to appear on my online records. I’ve expected a phone call any day. The last four months have been especially difficult for me with repeat dental abscesses followed by eventual gum surgery and extraction in December plus continued major caring stress throughout and all these events have reflected in higher bgs at times over that period on my meter. Food wasn’t affecting it but stress and infection definitely were so by time got result today I was expecting the worst so I was greatly relieved that although gone up it’s still very low and healthy phew. Previous two hbaca1s were 30 and 29 and today’s was 34 - feel I’ve dodged a bullet.
Also dr still not happy with my cholesterol but I’m pleased the total has gone down one point and my HDL has gone up one point plus my trigs a bit lower to 0.9 so all good.

I always buffer the blueberries I eat with a bit of protein and fat. So maybe you could try eating 100g of raspberries, with some Greek yogurt.Raspberries:
Anyone has experience with BG increase after eating raspberries ?
I love raspberries and their sight and taste and smell makes me so happy !
Sometimes I just fill a bowl with raspberries and just look at them gorgeously siting there in the bowl . So eventually I want to eat them ( I cannot look them endlessly). At that point, I only eat maybe 10 -12 but not too many . They increase my BG at most 35 which is 2 in U.K. metrics . But I try to eat them when BG is low and won’t have any other carbs or sweets with them.
What will happen if I eat a full bowl of raspberries ( like I am tempted to)? If I eat a slice of a raspberry tart, once in a while , would that be a disaster?
Do you do these things ? Little enjoyments in life that diabetes has robbed us from ...
Is there any medicine , one can take and then eat a slice of raspberry tart ? Make it a big slice , please
