So far ive had a coffee with cream, a chorizo omelette with 100g bell peppers and sugar free jelly. I also had 4 cracker breads thickly spread with garlic soft cheese. So far today I've had 44g of carbs and tea is steak and veg with a glass of red wine if i have spare cals! I'm moderate low carb, well trying to be lol. I'm type 1 and I've got a binge eating disorder. Trying to keep under 1390 cals a day x
Amen to that @pollensa. . Yes i agree 100% Diabetes , is confusing, and i am always learning. Believe it or not, most i have learnt is form you and and another women "cant say her name" but she will never know. God bless her for that.PS, will call it Tasmanian Quiche, will lift a glass of spanish vino to that, the vino I need after speaking to Centrelink in Tassie this morning, one thinks Diabetes is confusing, I think Centrelink is a little more, especially long distance
I do indeed. I make them in the George Foreman grill. The toasties I just add a suitable toastie filling, butter the outside of the lo dough a bit, fold and secure with a wooden skewer and toast for 4 mins in the George.Several of us make pizza using this product, I think @maglil55 makes toasted sandwiches and her own version of a Mac Donald’s breakfast wrap. I also use it for making quiches. It’s very easy to use and super quick, seems that so long as your toppings or fillings are tasty enough it’s a good substitute.

@DJC3 Don't sweat the small stuff - and you with an ology as wellGood idea to take your lovely crackers with you @shelley262 Have a great evening.
Good luck with the fasting @maglil55
B: scrambled egg and smoked salmon
Late lunch: Nandos chicken thighs with side of halloumi
Measured out 50ml cream to have in 5 coffees throughout the day.
Probably wont have dinner as I’m still full and I’m trying to stick to a shorter eating window.
HbA1c back this aft - 39 I know I should be pleased because it’s in the non diabetic range but its exactly the same as last time. I was hoping for a little drop even though I know my readings since mid Aug have been on average 1 mmol higher than the previous couple of months. I did read somewhere that although HbA1c is an average of the last 90 days, in fact it tends to reflect more recent readings. This would appear to be correct in my case. MySugr gives me an estimate of 33.5 - which is a true mathematical average and not a contrary biological system with its own rules!!! I’m feeling quite fed up about it tbh but I know that’s ridiculous. Its not a race, I’m not in a competition and actually the result is fine. Still feel glum, but I’ll be over it tomorrow.
Bless you, I think we all get a bit hung up on our numbers, but as you say, this is not a race, we are definitely not sprinting to a finish line, there isn’t one, it’s not a marathon either it’s one of those long indurance races. I hope that any test I have going forward sees my result within the normal range, that’s a positive and to be celebrated as far as I am concerned if it’s lower fantastic, same as before ok still happy, higher but still normal obviously not estatic but content to still be in the race.Good idea to take your lovely crackers with you @shelley262 Have a great evening.

They look goodBreakfast - just tea today
Mid morning - bowl of pistachios
Lunch - avocado and egg on wholemeal toast
Dinner - from scratch Bolognese but with long stemmed broccoli rather than pasta
.... and the lo dough brownies which are a total success! I will make these regularly. I didn't have a loaf tin so I made 4 muffin sized ones. Chocolatey and very nice

I'm astounded! They're like proper little cupcakes - even a bit squidgy in the middle (like meThey look good
Evening all. Second consecutive chocolate free day. Even placed a bar of Lindt 90% that found its way into my basket in Waitrose back on the shelf!
@DJC3 glad the zero carb day yesterday helped your readings, but sorry you’re not happy with your HbA1c.
@shelley262 glad the eye screening went ok and enjoy your evening with friends.
Today’s menu was:
Lunch - Lidl antipasto of salami and Parma ham
Dinner - chicken wings with Parmesan and pork crunch coating followed by lazy dessert of clotted cream mixed with almond butter
Mega baking session planned for weekend - one birthday and one colleague leaving in our Department next week. @DJC3 can you remind me how you made your successful caramel for the CCB bars? Can’t find the post.
