@Brunneria I stocked up on peanut 9 bars today. Wow they are so good. Quite sweet though as I haven't eaten anything like that for ages and filling so won't overeat!. Couldn't test today but will try to tomorrow.

breakfast black pudding, mushrooms, bacon
lunch bacon and cheese frittata, salad
dinner chicken, chorizo and chickpea stew , green beans, broccoli
snack soya latte, slice ham
Also had to have a sq dark chocolate at 3pm because I started shaking and was so cold- tested and 3.7 so suspect I was starting to go hypo. Beginning to wonder if some of the things I've put down to panic attacks are not actually just low blood sugars.

Alliebee it wasn't rice it was just cauliflower but once cut up and curry over the top it honestly was just like rice. I had read about it and thought yuck but today I tried it and liked it.
