Have a great birthday @jayney27 hope it’s a good day for youYour pizza sounds amazing. I finish work tomorrow lunch time, taking half day as it’s my birthday, we fly to Crete on Tuesday, really looking forward to it but am also slightly nervous as this will be my first trip abroad since diagnosis. My second HbA1c test is end of May so the holiday period will be included in my blood test.
Hi All,
am feeling a bit uncomfortable that you are all crediting me for creating the snack of the century
It was @DCUKMod who first suggested that microwave chorizo crisps were fab. And they are.(And cheaper than buying ready made from M&S!)
All I did was swap the chorizo (salty, spicy, ever so slightly more dense texture) for salami (salty, less spicy, more porky and somehow a bit crispier)
So thank you dcukmod!
Thank you for the birthday wishes @shelley262Have a great birthday @jayney27 hope it’s a good day for you
Thank you @Goonergal xHappy Birthday @jayney27 and safe travels.
Hi all. Today has well and truly been the feasting after the fasting.
Breakfast - none
Lunch - M&S Serrano ham and manchego cheese rollitos
Dinner - out with my Dad and his wife at excellent local Turkish restaurant. Cacik with cucumber instead of bread for dipping; mixed grill with 1 small lamb rib, 1 kofte skewer, 2 cubes lamb shish, 1 cube chicken shish, 1 tiny lamb chop and 2 small chicken wings with salad. Dessert at my place - chocolate olive oil cake with cream: so good I had two portions.

When we go out to dinner, we often come home and have dessert. If I’m testing that meal, I test two hours after first bite of the main course out, but then the ‘meal’ as a whole lasts so much longer, having a chat at the table in the restaurant, travelling home and then prepping the dessert. The after test might then only be one hour after first bite of dessert so I guess it’s skewing the result?

I’ve thought about this time line too and wondered when the best time to test after an extended meal is. I guess testing a further once or twice after the 2hr reading?
Guess so, but you still get a sense of what’s going on as any major spikes would show at that point, although the fat content of my meals means I’m usually higher after 2 hours than 1.
Thank you @Brunneria xHappy birthday @jayney27 !
I had an odd day. So much food!
My day off, so
B: at the cafe that lets the dogs sit under the table and has food for them. Today I had bacon and egg. Mr B had porridge. And the mutts had scrambled egg (£1.20 for enough for both). We all thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts.
L: sml portion baked salmon
D: pork ribs. This batch of ribs was the leanest I have ever seen, so I made a judgement call and stirred a tablespoon of mayo into the spices. Worked like a charm to stop the meat drying out. Very succulent. Will have to try and remember this for next time.
