Brunch: scrambled eggs topped with grated Parmesan.
Few nuts ( I must stop buying nuts!)
Lunch/dinner: roast pork loin, sprouts cooked with pancetta, buttered green beans and ( very unphotogenic)cauli cheese. A sizeable portion of crackling to top it off.
Couple of hours later I had decaf coffee and a DGF Crimbo Crumble with cream ( resisted the brandy @shelley262 )

B: scrambled eggs topped with Parmesan.
L- tin of mackerel in olive oil with kale crisps, a hard boiled egg and courgette ribbons. DGF cookie to follow.
D- lamb and spinach curry, overdid the chilli a bit so had a dollop of sour cream on it. Served with half a toasted low carb pizza base to mop up the sauce.
A few minutes ago I was searching for something in a drawer and came across an opened bar of Montezuma’s AB so of course I had to eat a few squares

Hello all. Pensioners lunch today. Soup first. Baked chicken, cauli, broccoli and 2 scoops mashed potatoes. Pudding was sponge with custard, I know, not diabetic friendly. But it was very nice.

I used to love steamed pudding with strawberry jam and custard. Not had it for ages, though. I'm glad you enjoyed yours.

Memories of school lunches! That and the baton of carrot in a glass of lukewarm water. Happy days.

B- omelette/frittata with spring onion, red pepper, courgette and mozzarella
L-the other half of yesterday’s l/c pizza base, toasted and topp
ed with cream cheese, turkey and salami.
D- a not very photogenic lamb stew, it’s been simmering away since yesterday, I did throw in a handful of lentils to help thicken it. My BG doesn’t seem to mind a few lentils.
I’ve saved a DGF Crimbo Crumble to eat with Bake Off tonight

Late morning: black coffee and a carb killa bar.
Was at a friend’s today so ate a small low carb lunch to keep her company: paté, Brie, ham and a big pickled onion.
On the way home my car needed a charge so I had a cappuccino and another carb killa bar while it was plugged in.
Late Dinner: scrambled eggs on Marmite on LC toast.

Do you find sourdough affects your blood sugar differently to non sourdough? In my experience, which includes taking insulin, I still get a rise but the rise is slower to take effect and possibly a little less than non sourdough but I’m not quite convinced on that yet.

I think so. I had a supermarket sandwich fairly recently and the spike was faster and steeper. But it's bread, and it does what bread does.
