Had a busy 2 days - yesterday bed on 5.6 so it seemed bigger meal plus wee drink hadn't made much difference but FBG was 7 and pre breakfast was 7.4. Better today bed 6.2 FBG also 6.2 and pre breakfast was 7.1.
Yesterday
B. Boiled egg and Tassimo Americano Grande with a dash of cream
L. Nothing
D. Salad with salmon fillet, tablespoon of prawns, fresh anchovies, lettuce, tomatoes, 1/2 avocado, red Leicester cheese, boiled egg and Helmanns.

Today we were at the Scottish Seabird Centre with the grandsons
B. Boiled egg , 1/2 Lidl high protein roll with pate and 3 cherry tomatoes. Tassimo Americano Grande with a dash of cream
L. Salad at the Seabird Centre with smoked salmon infused with gin and juniper berries. Black Americano coffee.
D. Rib eye and yet more salad - lettuce, tomato, 1/2 avocado, red Leicester mini and Helmanns.

BGs back in low 5's but being out all day with 6 year old and 4 year old at a seabird centre where there is a beach, trampolines, carousels, ice cream vans and a tendency for them to go in opposite directions fairly ups the exercise!

I've made chia pud with water and cream (diluted the cream so that it was kind of milk-like), and yes, it works.
But the mix I made was a bit rich, so I ended up having tiny portions.

I've also done a lemon one, with just lemon juice, water and erythritol as the liquid, and then served with a drizzle of cream on top. That one was lovely and fresh. Zingy. But then I like my lemon sharp.
