OK mackerel lovers. I like fish but I am quite phobic over bones. How 'bony' is mackerel?

I get the frozen fillets from Asda and get about one bone per fillet. I fry them in butter - three minutes skin side down then two minutes skin side up. Sprinkle with lime juice and a little sea salt.. Gorgeous.

I have tried the fresh whole fish and it was much too boney for me to enjoy my meal so I gave it to the dogs who ate the lot, bones and all.

Well, Dawn was in full swing today - up from fasting level of 6.6 to 8 before breakfast and 8.2 after. Haven't seen an 8 in a while. Back down to 5.6 before both lunch and dinner. And either I have a rogue box of strips or something odd is going on. After a dinner that usually barely registers an increase, got a reading of 8.3 (up from 5.6). Re-tested and went down to 7.1, which still seems high, but I can live with that.

Breakfast - crustless quiche

Lunch - cold lamb, salad

Dinner - sea bass fillet fried in butter with sautéed courgette and onion and a squeeze of lemon juice.

L: Home made burger and salad
S: There was a bag of peanuts in the cupboard that rushed out and attacked my throat, no worries the bag is deflates (empty) now
D: Bolognese with courgetti then half hour on treadmill BS @ 7.1

DD Has made me an easter egg, and a mess in the kitchen, tells me its 85% choc

 

[Brunneria]

B: coffee substitute and cream
L: coronation chicken salad
S: 2 squares 70%
D: pork shoulder steak with texmex seasoning, enormous amounts of green beans, and avocado mashed with garlic, lemon, coriander and salt. Delicious!

Gee wizz....bed on 6.2 FBG 6.9 and first full day on school run/nursery - hit 9 by the time I sat down to breakfast. Thanks to Libre could even see it heading upwards. To add to my misery Hubby has a bad cold and I have the start of a sore throat. Wish he would go back to bed and stop coughing around me.

B. 1 egg omelette with mushroom, tomato, rasher of streaky bacon and spinach. Tassimo morning coffee with cream , 2 paracetamol and a spray of First Defence!
L. Nothing
D. Diet Doctor Tuna Cheese melt with a salad of iceberg lettuce, tomato , 1/2 avocado and Helmanns.
Probably another few sprays of First Defence too!

Lunch yesterday

Mackeral and Advocado salad

Evening. Meal yesterday

Home made curry with half packet of microwave basmati rice and half of a flatbread BG through the roof 2 hours later went from 6.0 to 10.9 no more carbs they simply don't agree with me and my type2 diabetes.
I have tried re introducing them but even small amounts push BG up too much for me.

I have the same issue but I have got so used to cauliflower rice now I don't miss rice at all. The cauliflower version is just so versatile. Have you tried the Diet Doctor naan bread? Reminds me a bit of tattie scones taste wise?

I like the cauli rice, too, I think its one of the best carb substitutes. Mr C likes it fried in butter with a little onion, garlic and fresh coriander, I like it cooked laid out on a biscuit sheet then sprinkled with a little garam masala - then bake for 20 mins (but I'm lazy and my way is so simple1)

Haha! I just microwave it, then dunk it in the curry for the last 2 mins of cooking, and stir. Then serve the whole thing as one big gloop together.

So elegant.
