@Annb - Those little pans you're thinking of, are they like raclette pans or something different?

I thought of raclette pans, but the ones I saw would have been too big. The site you have linked has a variety of sizes. I'll investigate those further. Thanks
 
This will be my last post for a few days - my nearly 90 y/o Mother in Law passed away yesterday evening and we are going over to Wigan to sort out her house, etc, so no broadband. She went very peacefully between bites of her dinner which she was enjoying. Unfortunately because of the recent move from hospital to nursing home the Police were called (!) and she now has to have a PM. (I really don't understand why this is and it is the need for the PM that is upsetting everyone - we are just so glad it was a peaceful end for her.)

Anyway.... yesterday was

Tuesday bed: 6.1

Wednesday FBG: 8.0 - it seems the lower my BG is when I go to bed, the higher it is the next morning!
Breakfast: Savoury chaffle, 100g beans, 2 fried eggs
2 hours later: 9.2

Lunch: 5.5
Lunch was advent calendar cheese
2 hours later: 5.5

Dinner: 5.5
Dinner was roast butternut square, roast aubergine and roast garlic with feta crumbled over
2 hours later: 6.6

Interim reading (an hour after receiving news about MIL) 15.8

Bed time: 7.0

Sorry for your loss and not at all surprised by the interim reading. Take care

So sorry to hear of your loss. Condolences to you and your family. It was obviously very sudden but peaceful, which will be a comfort. Stress has clearly done a lot to your BG. Do take care of yourself.
 
2 slices of streaky bacon and 2 fried eggs for breakfast today at about 10.30.

I have another hospital appointment this afternoon so I've got some chicken wings in the fridge marinating in lemon juice, olive oil garlic and paprika, ready to go in the AF when I get back.
Should put some sort of veg with them but I'll have to think about that later and make a choice from the half full fridge of veg I've gathered together over the last day or so.
 
What a shock for you @Chook and for Mr Chook too.
Condolences.

But... I have to say... that is exactly how I would like to go, please.
Gone in a second.
No suffering.
And preferably eating something I am really enjoying.

Good for her!
 
Oh, Chook - I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. What a way to go, but I'm sure that won't make it hurt any less for those who loved and cared for her.

Look after yourself, and don't be a stranger.

So sorry about your MIL. Take care.
 
@Annb I’m glad your scan went well and hope today’s hosp appt is equally reassuring.
My food today was...
1 sausage in a Skinny bread sandwich. CWC around 11am
Olives and some Cheesies about 2:30
H/m Chicken and vegetable soup for dinner followed by sf jelly and cream and 4 HC buttons.
I feel a glass of wine coming on
 
B= tea at 5.20 (woke @ 4.20 today) later Boursin type cheese roule on skinny bread toast - just because - lots more tea; L = tuna and salmon sashimi and 40 gms kaltbach; Eve = scrambled eggs on skinny bread toast with 20 gms? grated cheddar, 20 gms Dr Almond milk chocolate. Food ok but readings up all day due to cold/virus/man flu. Today could have gone very wrong so pleased with where I ended up. Not at all happy with how this is working atm but like the Bear Hunt story it seems I'll just have to go through it.

Certainly better than without! I think I still prefer those Hemsley flaxseed buns but at least the Skinny bread doesn’t contain eggs - it’s about the only lc bread in that category.
No wine yet, cheek!

@ianpspurs hope the virus doesnt get too bad and doesnt last long. Distant hugs.
@Annb hope your hospital appointment went well and you enjoy supper. @DJC3 that doesnt look like much food today. Just seen the weather map and hope you are battening down the hatches. This crazy weather.

Didn’t seem like much food to me either but post meal bg just shouted 7.3 at me! Weather here is atrocious, maybe Cornish rain is high carb.
Well done again for a cracking HbA1c.
 
Breakfast # 1 at home: Toast and vegimite, black coffee so I could get my medication into me before we left for the airport here in Bundy around 6:00 am.
Breakfast # 2 on the Dash: Coffee.
Breakfast # 3 at Brisbane airport: Bacon, well done eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes.

Lunch # 1 on board 737 to Perth: QANTAS meal box containing a seasoned pulled pork "sandwich" with wedges, washed down with a whisky. Some snacks peanuts and a couple more whisky's later in the flight.
Lunch #2 : Steak and veggies at Perth airport, coffee, killing time for best part of four hours for our flight to Geraldton where we did not eat anything, but had a coffee on the Fokker on the one hour flight north at 6:00 pm wast.

Dinner at sons place: Baked spicy fish and salad, several beers.

Drinks: Black coffee no sugar, beer, whisky, water.

Sorry to hear that on weather and bg! Sometimes here is just no explanation for high bg. If I have indulged then I can take it but if not it is maddening. Take care all of you and hugs for better bg.
