Thankfully my dogs are with me!@Antje77 good look with the food on the sailing trip. Hope you enjoy the week and find some good things to eat. You will miss your animals and they you!
Yeah, I think my broth must have been something similar (basically no carbs). I ended up skipping the dose and monitoring, and my BSL didn’t budgeI don’t have any experience of insulin dosing but bone broth is practically negligible in terms of carbs. The DietDoctor recipe for basic bone broth ( which sounds similar to the one you make, and mine) is 0.3g
Yes that’s correct about my insulin doses being low for dinner even with the more carby options which I don’t often have but do occassionally (e.g. roast potato with the chicken the other night). I did end up skipping the insulin and the ice cream and monitored for the experiment. BSL stayed flat and, yes, now I know! I’ll be cooking this again because it’s so nice and cheap as well. Edit: in hindsight I probably didn’t need to skip the sugar free ice cream, but by skipping it I know what the broth does to my BSL by itself (nothing) so it was probably worth the sacrificeIf I remember correctly, you're on small doses of insulin even with your occasional more carby meals, is that right?
If so, the amount of carbs in this soup may well be so low that you'd need less than 1 unit for this soup.
If you were to invite me over for dinner tonight, I would eat first with this soup and then keep a close eye on my numbers to see if it did need a little insulin.
No problem to rise a bit if it turns out it did need insulin, and you'll know what you'll need for this type of soup after today's experiment!
I have just start today taking ACV I had 1/2 a teaspoon in my green tea before my lunch, here's hoping it will add muster to my bg!Glad you found a work-around the onion dilemma @IBEX82
@shelley262 I don’t know if it’s the ACV, the salad starter or what but my BGs are definitely lower these past few days which is a blessed relief. Thanks for pointing us in the direction of the GG
Back to a spell of IF for me so just black coffee this morning.
L-salad with ACV/oo dressing. 1 slice livlife toast with pate. Rhubarb, h/m yoghurt and seeds.
Mid aft - Decaf coffee&cream and a DGF cake.
D- instead of salad starter I had yesterdays garlicky greens reheated. Surprisingly good.
Main was broccoli fritters and salad. I’ve been looking for recipes to use up the bag of oat fibre in my cupboard and came across this. I meant to have just 2 but ended up eating all 4. ( only 1g carb each though so no problem) https://lowcarbfood.co/recipes/low-carb-broccoli-fritters-with-cheddar-cheese/?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Oat Fibre Recipes Push&_kx=JNng6jsqoIzSbsh_brCzDYx9JXQjslzjAeS6rX8h5rQ=.U4xysM
