thank you it is good to be back
thank you it is good to be backBed 4.8 FBG 4.6. I've been in the 4's all day. I ran the boys to school but Mum came too and walked them down. Eldest was on a senior school visit and, I'd been back about 45 mins when I got a call to say he was feeling sick. I'm only minutes from the school so picked him up, brought him back and both of us were ill together! In his case, he needed to eat and he felt a lot better afterwards. He was good though. Allowed me to have a quiet nap on the sofa.
B. Just water. I wanted to eat something but still couldn't face it.
L. Very late - 3 M&S crackers with egg.
D. A reasonable attempt at a roast chicken breast with a mini cob and I had 2 of the tiny bullet potatoes Hubby had cooked. Only took my BGs to 5 1
I made the mistake of going to collect the younger grandson on my own. Obviously, was not ready for it as I was in a cold sweat when I got back to the car. I've not been as nauseous today and the pain at my right side has gone. I must be improving as I can look at the food photos again without feeling nauseous.
Welcome back @annabell1
Yes I buy the Mrs Briggs AC vinegar and also drink at times an apple cider vinegar fire tonic. Last night I went to bed with BSL of 7.2 and before going to bed drank AC vinegar my BSL this morning my was same so I'm going to try keep doing it.View attachment 53704
First thing a few spoons of hm yoghurt with my supplements
Lunch left over frittata with a few salads followed by a few berries with hm yoghurt and two squares of 100% choc with Almonds
Dinner - see photo - lamb loin, fairly lean so cooked with a spoon of added fat - organic coconut oil with ginger @Goonergal thought of you when ate it as it’s very lean, and for me perfectly cooked and still moist - but probably wouldn’t have hit the spot for you! Served with spoons of all my different salads and two sauerkrauts. Pudding one lc blondie warmed and served with hm yoghurts.
@RosemaryJackson your operation sounds quite a challenge take it steady while you recover ordering take out sounds sensible take care.
@maglil55 thinking of you and hoping you are on the road to recovery
@Tori71 keep meaning to ask what’s buttercup?
@annabell1 good to see you back here getting back to working out the best food for you to keep you healthy. Re the apple cider vinegar I’ve read quite a lot about it’s benefits and I’m adding to my salads mixed with olive oil - important bit though is buying a live one it can be called “with the mother “ which makes it look cloudy - avoid any commercial sterile pasteurised ones as they are not helpful.i sourced one locally using local organic apples and in a dark bottle to keep it live and beneficial.
beauties have just gone into the Instant Pot
Apparently, BBC Scotland News is doing a special on the disaster that is the ferry service (or lack of) to and from the islands.
Hope everything goes well tomorrow xx
Here’s the recipe I use:
https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/keto-coconut-porridge
Well it took me a while to work this out, the names coconut milk and coconut cream seem to be interchangeable, but I realised what makes this ‘porridge’ better tasting is to use the small cartons or tins of around 160 - 200ml with a high % of coconut extract. The large 400ml tins are generally lower %. If you’re in the U.K. here are four different products I’ve used successfully, the top two from Tesco the bottom two from WaitroseSorry, did you use coconut milk or coconut cream? I have both
Thanks
You should be able to get a veal or chicken dish. Also Italian's I frequent offer some lovely seafood dishes or an Aubergine parmigiana?Breakfast; paleo granola, slice of low carb toast and butter
mocha
Lunch; scrambled egg and bacon on one slice of wholemeal toast (out and about). lots of tea
Dinner: m and s seeded crackers, pate and a few cherry tomatoes, berries and cream and some 90% lindt
An interesting challenge tomorrow, lunch out with in laws at an Italian where everyone will be munching pasta or pizza followed by tiramisu. Found a nice starter with meats, cheeses, peppers and artichokes which should do nicely with a gin!! Should help me cope with the looks of sympathy and 'poor you not being able to eat normal food' comments
The App apparently goes weird after 11pm for a while. I don't know if that would be whatever time you are on when we're at 11pm (I've kind of lost track of the clock changes).dinner Thursday night
vegetable and puffed tofu Laksa (I made the puff tofu myself never knew how easy it is to make puff tofu so at least I know when I have another craving for laksa which is not that often and can't found puff tofu)
~~ Friday ~~
~~~breakfast~~~
scrambled eggs made using 2 eggs and about tablespoon cream cooked in some ghee and a few slices of tomatoes, had no bread so had my eggs with, to be honest I can' remember if I had 1 or 2 Pureharvest organic rice cakes so it is important to jot down what you eat straight away sometimes so you remember what you ate and how it will affect BSL.
when grocery shopping so when I came home was a bit hungry
~~~lunch~~~~ tin tuna on two slices of thinly sliced sourdough bread with butter and some lemon juice and a cup of coffee and a slice of watermelon which needed to be eaten and a glass of ACV.
~~~dinner~~~ heated up leftover laksa but didn't finish only ate half. I also took some melatonin to help me sleep and normally just makes me sleepy but this time I fell asleep in front of the TV something I rarely do and woke up at 11pm and don't know why but had a few squares of chocolate so of course was wide awake so when I did go to bed at 1.30 am I couldn't sleep LOL....
~~Saturday~~
~~~Breakfast~~~
scrambled eggs made using 2 eggs and about tablespoon cream cooked in some ghee and a few thinly slices of tomatoes on a slice of buttered sourdough bread.
been having issues using the diabetes forum app on my phone sometimes it will not open and tells me the site is down but if I log on using my computer it works any one else having issues. Thanks
It's 11PM UK time, for me in the Netherlands it starts at midnight, lasting for 20 or 30 minutes.The App apparently goes weird after 11pm for a while. I don't know if that would be whatever time you are on when we're at 11pm (I've kind of lost track of the clock changes).
It seems that apart from the regular 11PM glitches the forum has had some more hiccoughs yesterday or the day before. If it's just a one off thing I wouldn't worry about it and just assume it's our techies doing something, well, technical, causing the forum to stutter a bit. But if it happens more often, please let us know!been having issues using the diabetes forum app on my phone sometimes it will not open and tells me the site is down but if I log on using my computer it works any one else having issues.
