They did the same with me when I was first diagnosed. 2 x 500 followed by 2 x 1000 3 months later. Once I got into low carbing they eventually reduced me back to 2 x 500mg and they halved my BP meds.I make "sushi" by mixing the mayo with the cauliflower rice, and spreading it over the nori sheet, then putting the salmon, and cucumber in and rolling it up. I sometimes will add kimchi if I have made some recently, or I will add avocado if it hasn't gone off and turned brown.
My numbers have been between 6.4 and 7.8 for the past two weeks I test once a day as directed by my doctor, and I have been taking 500mg of Metformin twice a day. I saw her today and she raised the dosage to 1000mg twice a day for the next 3 months. I am wondering if the only way to find out how the diet alone is doing would be to not take the medication for a few days and test, but I don't want to do any harm.
I put curry powder or paste through my kedgeree. Haven't made it for ages though.Breakfast: kedgeree made with cauli rice and with a fried egg on top. Good for BG - it dropped from 13.4 beforehand to 7.9 2 hours after breakfast, but not so good for taste. Cauliflower has a very distinctive taste which, for me, overpowers the spices, smoked fish and onion mixture. Even the fried egg didn't improve it much. Well, I tried.
2nd meal will be ratatouille. I saw a programme in which Michel Roux made a delicious looking ratatouille and I want to try it his way.
It definitely isn't a meal for 6 but it is very good. I haven't seen it for a while and suspect it's a seasonal one. I reckon it would feed 3 people.@Cherianne40 a high protein diet suits me better than traditional keto macros. I don’t count or track any more but I always prioritise protein in a meal, add lots of green veg and keep carbs low. It works for me.
Todays food-
B- 2 H/b eggs
L- smoked salmon pate with the last of the M&S seedy crackers and salad. Followed by nuts and a Montezuma’s Absolute black snowman.
D- M&S ‘Fully loaded chicken shawarma’ as recommended by @maglil55 a couple of months ago. Wow! It was great, no way it would serve 6 though, Paul and I ate all but 2 bits between us, but then we are both big meat eaters. Mine with iceberg lettuce and turmeric & ginger sauerkraut. (I went back for seconds after the photo plateful)

I'll ask Neil to get some next shopping day and try it. Pity I can't stand soya milk, he's got quite a production line going in that.Cow's milk sends me through the roof (and I loved a glass of cold milk). I'm fine with Alpro sugar free coconut milk.
That's what I did - always used to do that when using rice for kedgeree.I put curry powder or paste through my kedgeree. Haven't made it for ages though.
Isn't that a bit carb heavy? Or do you have a version that doesn't use normal bread? I used to love bread based casseroles - savoury and sweet.Strata
Thursday 12 January - I omitted to add I had 2 Bendicks mints yesterday. I won't do that again! Bed 10.6 FBG had dropped to 7.9. I thought 2 mints wouldn't do too much damage.I was a bit wrong!
B. TAG and after school runs and some shopping a SLC sandwich with the rest of the prawns, lettuce and tomato.
L. Nothing
D. One of the new SLC seeded rolls with a burger, 2 slices of jarlsburg, lettuce and tomato. CC little chocolate pot.
@DJC3 - The new SLC seeded roll is a huge improvement on the previous roll. The other roll I find too big and "doughy". I could never finish one. This one is a much better texture and I finished it (although I still wish they would make them smaller). Very tasty though.
I got a bottle of my favourite Laphroaig from my partner. I got her a collectors bottle of the top shelf spiced rum from the local rum distilery it was a limited edition only 1000 bottles were produced.Reading @Riva_Roxaban nightly single malt reminds me I hoped for decent Scotch or rum for Xmas, but none materialised.Memo to self to buy my own.
The fruit loaf is lovely. I was always fond of toasted fruit loaf with butter. This soooo meets that love. Watch as it toasts quickly though.Thank you, I might get a pack when I’ve finished my current stock, although I never have a problem finishing the original ones - I like the fact they’re big!
I think you said the fruit loaf was good too?
I was about to ask Neil to look for the seed bars but the website says each bar contains 10.7 g carb. A bit too high for me. There is another one - pumpkin seed, almond and dark chocolate. It is 7.4 g carb per bar. Not quite so bad. Maybe get Neil to look for those and try them.11:00 a cold 97%sausage with brie on hm seedy crackers. A nut bar
Tried going to big Tescos in the hope I could try on clothes, but no the changing rooms still locked and no staff anywhere. Couldn't find what I wanted so ended up with jeans and a reduced top.
Did find their own label seed bars at only £1.30 for 4, and 7g carbs . Very filling and although there's small amounts of sugar and seed oil they are the cheapest and most filling I've found. Handy to have.
D: salmon with sprouts and carrots. Made a sort of sauce out of an avocado, lots of lemon juice, splash of olive oil and some hm lc yoghurt. Very tasty and plenty for the 3 of us.
A Scotch.

Hope you feel better after the treatment next Tuesday.Three egg and cheese omelette for breakfast.
Braised y bone steak and onions, green veggies for lunch.
Toated ham and cheese sandwiches for supper at six.
Glass of single malt before a early night.
Go for my blood and iron trans / infusions next Tuesday, so that should perk me up a bit hopefully.
Yes, those are the ones I saw and bought.There is another one - pumpkin seed, almond and dark chocolate. It is 7.4 g carb per bar. Not quite so bad
I have tried cauliflower rice numerous times and I can't say that I like it . Has you say it has a distinctive taste the only way it is tolerable is if I mix it with a little bit of ordinary rice .Breakfast: kedgeree made with cauli rice and with a fried egg on top. Good for BG - it dropped from 13.4 beforehand to 7.9 2 hours after breakfast, but not so good for taste. Cauliflower has a very distinctive taste which, for me, overpowers the spices, smoked fish and onion mixture. Even the fried egg didn't improve it much. Well, I tried.
