I still remember one of our male consultants microwaving eggs (in their shells) while his wife was visiting her parents. I also recall his tale of the explosions and fireThat'd be a top tip for sure,.......... not waiting until they explode to turn them off!
What are you not eating/drinking or doing that you were on the previous low days?Still don't understand - today the BGs have been higher than I wanted. Had tea with milk, but not as much as usual (have to get more fluids in before bed time) but only water otherwise. BG went up to 10.7 after I was too light with the insulin before breakfast - no other food during the day(dropped to 7.0) and a normal (maximum) dose of insulin before my sausage and beans. BG up to 10.7. Total reverse from the last days when it kept dropping too low. The morning toast maybe? I tend to think in terms of insulin + meal being in isolation, but maybe not.
Where exactly is this place in London? Might have to make an adjustment next time I'm passing through.Definitely and it’s a good idea to listen to your body and feed it. I tend to find the hungry days are more frequent/intense when I’ve let the nutrition density of my food drop. A nice fatty shoulder of lamb usually sorts it out.
I’ve got the opposite issue at the moment - taking meds which make me feel a bit nauseous so I’ve been eating a bit less.
Today’s food was a small glass of milk early on to accompany anti-biotics, followed by a delicious lunch with @DJC3 - I introduced her to the Keto Street pizza joint in London. It’s in an outdoor food court so we wrapped up warm and braved the cold! Pizzas so filling that we weren’t even tempted to go inside Hotel Chocolat when we walked past. Doubt I’ll be needing anything else.
Pepperoni pizza (9g carb/54g protein) for me and I bought a cheesy garlic flatbread to put in the fridge at home.

Ignore my request - just seen this.It’s in Camden near the tube station - upstairs at the Buck Street market. Also very close to the Regent’s Canal for a post-meal stroll. https://ketostreet.london/
I was not drinking coconut milk - that's the only difference I can think of. I will make some more and try it again to see if, somehow that makes a difference.What are you not eating/drinking or doing that you were on the previous low days?
If there's a lumpy sort of bump, it's probably buritis.I've now bought the missing ingredient for what should have been yesterdays meal.
But I also have an '-itis' in my elbow. (GP mentioned both tendonitis and bursitis but I forgot which one he decided on in the end.) The elbow had been sore for a couple of weeks but last night it got a lot worse, the pain waking me up like clockwork five and a half hours after my last paracetamol, and all during the night every time I moved.
So no chopping onions.
I just had a couple of crackers with butter and ham, and it was very clear I should have taken painkillers half an hour before trying to spread butter on my crackers.
So no idea what I'll eat tonight, one of those days I'm very annoyed by diabetes preventing me from simply getting Chinese take-away. Lack of sleep doesn't improve my mood either of course.
No, never made anything like that, but I'm going to try. Need to get some cottage cheese tomorrow or Friday.A Dutch Diabetes organisation shared this recipe.
4.2 grams of carbs a slice if you cut 16 slices from the bread.
The recipe sounds ridiculous to me, and I can't even come close to imagining what it would taste like.
So of course I'm going to try! (After my next shopping round.)
Worst thing that can happen is spending some time making chicken feed so nothing to lose.
But before I do, has anyone ever made something like this? Was it edible?
(Had google do the translation.)

Number of people: 16
Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Mix the eggs with the peanut butter well with a mixer.
Also add the baking powder, buttermilk, biscuit and gingerbread spices and the hüttenkäse and mix to a smooth batter.
Grease a baking tin and divide the batter over it.
Bake the peanut butter bread in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes.
Check whether the bread is cooked on the inside by inserting a skewer. If it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
Pretty sure Em will be interested as well!No, never made anything like that, but I'm going to try. Need to get some cottage cheese tomorrow or Friday.
We call it sweetheart cabbage in UK it's deliciousShoved the components of planned meal in freezer, too much chopping with a useless elbow.
Cutting a couple of tiny tomatoes and oxheart cabbage with a sharp knife was doable.
Is it really called oxheart cabbage? It's what google translate told me and I think it's very funny!
Lucky to have guinea pigs, I bought the cabbage for them originally. Having guinea pigs means I almost always have a variety of veggies to choose from.
