- Spicy food which is too hot. Nasty people who have no idea on your life journey but feel the need to comment and be cruel.
Agree . It's interesting,but not surprising, my favourite fruits when I was an undiagnosed overweight diabetic were figs - especially dried I could eat 5\6 , dates and bananas as well as orange juice! Wonder why I became diabetic! Worse thing is that I thought I was eating healthily and low fat !Also high in carbs, as are dates and bananas. Sorry.
Thank you. Yes, it was mostly diabetic-friendly too, except for the zucchini matchsticks which I find irresistible.Happy belated birthday! That looked a lovely slap up meal!
Good luck next week for your stay in hospital.Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and an Aldi protein bar.
Skipped lunch.
Mid afternoon: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Dinner: cheese and mushroom omelette.
Not sure what/if I’ll be eating this time next week, just heard my foot op will be next Thursday

Thank you for the tips. Think I got a bit excited there; my BG this morning was 6.5, that was the highest it's been over 5 months. I know the BG meters have an error percentage, but I don't think the high reading is a coincidence, think rather it's a reaction to eating the apple. Like you, think I can eat the skin without an obvious issue, but maybe not the whole apple. This WOE is certainly a voyage of discovery!Re Apple just like any other foods you try you need to count the carbs and test several times to make sure. I've found by regular testing that I can include Apple but only the skin cut so that has some bits of fruit on it - which I eat in season for flavour and my gut bacteria. I've also found sticking to local sharper greener Apples is safer for me. It's relative and finding out what works and is sustainable for you is way forward.
Good luck 're your hubby hope his hba1c is ok but ,as you say, at least you know what to suggest.
@LivingLightly happy belated birthday your food always sounds amazing but your meal out wow sounds mouthwatering
Only because I think Ciarán gave me a bit of an energy boost & I decided to faff & mess around in the kitchen. I made a cheeseburger fatty. A bit of a meat feast & good cold, so no need to spend time in the kitchen for the next couple or so days.
