May I ask how low your BG was? In the UK you can drive as long as you're above 4, provided you eat a snack if you're below 5. It's only after dropping below 4 (which is a hypo when on insulin) that you have to make sure to be above 5 before driving.(BG too low to drive but not quite a hypo)
This is itBefore I post my food I just need to ask what the low carb bread is people have been raving about here, I can’t remember the name or who was eating it?! I have a fairly newly diagnosed type 2 friend who has gone LC but is struggling missing bread.
Anyway my food:
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee
Late morning: black coffee and white chocolate carb killa bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a handful of pecans.
Dinner: cauliflower and broccoli cheese with roasted Mediterranean veggies followed by SF jelly, cream and LC chocolate granola.
Thank you so much!This is it

You can get it via Amazon but they take ages to deliver. My last 2 orders have been direct and they're really quick. It has to be kept in the fridge or freezer (if like me you get a supply). I am so enjoying sandwiches again!
I have a friend currently "12" (born 29 February so she only counts "proper" birthdays).Many happy returns Good account for an 11 year old
Thanks Ian, I'll get some for a special treat and make sure I only have a square. 90% snd 100% are bitter. I'm realising that letting dark chocolate melt in the mouth is the best way to eat it.Almost certainly too carby for you or many here but this range could be worth a try https://www.greenandblacks.co.uk/velvet-edition-range. I understand if it too far off Piste for folks - 6 gms carb per row. I detest most 90% but the Waitrose 1 is something I can at least eat.
I'm thinking about a dash of rum or brandy too. xThe Hotel Chocolat 100% is the bitterest (if that’s a word) of the lot. Tastes like wine (which I hate). The Waitrose 1 90% is excellent. Very low carb, smooth and just the right amount of bitterness.
Melting a small amount of the 100% and using as hot chocolate with a dash of cream/sweetener might work.
AnnB, I hope your chest is improving. Take care. All that talk of haggis has made me hungry, it's been a while since I had some. Maybe a small amount would be ok.Just back from diabetic review. Nurse says don't go back to low carb! Huh! Dinner will be a frittata. Bacon, onion and mushrooms and a couple of eggs. Not much carb in that.
@DJC3 oysters are very expensive here too. I am thinking I remember that the Chesapeake was so polluted that they died off... around now, if I were grocery shopping in person, I'd hope to be seeing a big chiller bin full of crushed ice, with dozens of jars of shucked oysters in in. Oh yum. May have to treat myself now!!
@Bex72 your mushroom cauli risotto makes me want to come on over to your house-- what flavors for a chilly day!
Hi Zauberflote,
That's very sweet of you. I had some yesterday initially and it was too dry, hence the addition of cream cheese. It made a big improvement.
You're so right about the mistake of chewing dark chocolate, not good. I must buy some of the Waitrose chocolate. x
@Annb so good to see you. Crazy medical profession, right? "Eat carbs be healthy! Oh? You're not healthy? Why were you eating carbs then?" Sheesh. Hugs for the chest stuff, I'm glad you've got an improvement moving.
@Goonergal you have given me the perfect word for why I don't like Lindt 85% nor 95%! Wine is exactly what they taste like. I have nothing against wine, but not in my chocolate please. Also both of them are H-er C than the 90%. The 90% is my Goldilocks Zone. Pure chocolate flavor, creamy taste and mouth-feel (melted in mouth anyway! I think it's awful if chewed). But I did have to work my way up from "bittersweet", whatever that is. And American chocolate is pretty much awful except for the Hershey Symphony bar with almonds and toffee.
Bfast STILL in progress! Avo, pecans, boiled egg, 1 Lindth 90%, flax crisps/dilute soymilk
Afternoon something before barre class
Supper was going to have a piece of the HelloFresh chicken but nothing else I can eat in the bag, so probably sardines, inevitable spinach/hm dressing if ketchen witch remembers to make some, flax crisps/soy, maybe macadamias
Any Americans lurking, remember to vote!
Oysters Kilpatrick prep: thinly slice and chopped rashers of streaky bacon, sprinkle oysters (in shell) with said bacon, add a couple of drops of worcestershire sauce to each oyster, grill a few minutes until bacon cooked and crispy (if your bacon will do that - some of these processed bacons don't crisp up anymore do they?) then serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and wedge of fresh lemon. Yum yum.
