Yesterday Wednesday 27th April

L: Omlette with gruyère cheese And serano ham

I was working late yesterday do took my normal snack pack of some sliced cheese And some serano ham which I ate on the motorway.

D: chicken thighs roasted in herby duck fat, salad leaves, feta cheese And mayo.

Had one high reading yesterday of 7.1 after Gym And swimming but that came down within an hour after omlette And some water to 5.8. Rest of day was bobbing along between 4.8 And 5.8

Today I had 2 boiled eggs for breakfast before gym

L: Left over chicken thighs, lettuce, sprinkled with Parmesan and served with Garlic mayo

D: will be deconstructed burgers. - Home made burgers served with lettuce, tomato, cheddar cheese, sour pickled cucumbers, mayo And mustard.
 
Late breakkie- 2 egg omelette with cauli, broccoli and cheese
Afternoon snack- few nuts
Dinner- will be roast chicken and mushrooms and steamed veg, yogurt and berries...I might even put spoonful of extra thick cream on as well, since somebody bought wrong pot from shop..it needs using up...YUM!
 
FBG: 7.3, yay now I know to everyone else this is really high, but for me its amazing. Normally 13/ 19.
B: cup of tea.
L: egg, watercress and tomato sandwich on hovis wholemeal.
D: will be, cod, roasted fennel, cherry tomatoes.
Blueberries, tonic water, normal water.
 
B: Scrambled egg, Sukrin roll
L: Ham, cheese, coyo & raspberries
D (will be): Marinated lamb chops, asparagus, cauliflower, broccoli & cheesy courgettes
S: 8 squares Chocologic sugar-free chocolate (It was meant to be 4 squares, but I temporarily lost control! And I'm probably not to be trusted around the remaining 16 squares, either.... )
 
A scientific experiment today. My BG is consistently in the 5s so I thought I would try a carb treat and see if I tolerated it at all.
Enter, stage left, a "Proper Cornish" chicken & chorizo pasty. The smell of these babies in the works canteen has had me drooling for weeks, and I just had to have one. So can I tolerate them?

BG level before eating - 5.2. BG reading two hours later - 13.6!

So that would be a "No", then.
 
****! That's a pity.
Did it taste as good as it smelled?
 
B: a sliced chicken breast and coffee with small cream
L: vegtable stir-fry
S: blueberry mini muffin from party
D: chicken korma with added cream. No rice or any carb stable.
S: 5 almonds planned

Lots of diet drinks.
 
04.00 curry and cauliflower rice
09.00 whole meal toast with cheese
12.30 full fat yogurt
Couple of strawberries
17.30 omelette 3 eggs ham cheese and tomatoe and two small new potatoes
 
Bet it tasted good though
 
B Bacon and cheese on 2 slices of hovis brown 5 seeded bread
S 3 dates
L 2 rivitas with cheese and peanut butter / a few cashew nuts
S 2 slices of tonge

I love chicken korma! I had it last week with some mashed cauliflower & celeriac - it didn't seem right not to have something to replace the rice.

I had a slice of Gala Pie at lunchtime today. Usually I just eat the egg and meat, but today ate the pastry as well.

When I tested afterwards, my meter just showed the word "Idiot" on the screen

I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes tongue
 
I've been told not to test post meal, as my DSN says everyone spikes after a meal even non diabetics. I find it strange that we all get told to do different things, when surely the doctors/nurses training must be the same. I'm confused

Hi s.sollis, I am glad someone else likes it too, there are only a few people I know who like it, I don't know why its good. I can eat a couple of slices of this between meals if I am a bit peckish and have tested afterwards and my BG readings love it too.
