What have you eaten today?

My great granny went into a coma post diabetic induced stroke and died. According to my mum she didn't really try to look after herself , always sneaking extra carbs as a " little treat won't hurt. " I think we sometimes forget about the seriousness of this disease, and indeed, are encouraged in this by many HCP and their almost blasé attitude towards telling us about the diagnosis and dietary advice, I think the two things I've learnt by becoming diabetic are that treats should be something infrequent and deserved and that you can't have your cake and eat it.. Now if I decide that I want a fe more carbs, I cut back on them and calories earlier in day, and I get on my bike and do some peddling to use them up. I only wish I'd learnt all this earlier before becoming fat and diabetic.

Yup, it was 10 years ago, he was the eldest brother and I have now lived 7 years longer than he lived.

It's wrong and sad, but that's life .

Your friend might be ill, but is being selfish and not seeing the writing on the wall.

Funny I can manage half an apple or a small whole one - I have it with a bit of cheese to slow it all down. We're all different.

Whst is DP??
 

I've been looking at Bernstein's books @hornplayer which would you recommend?

Coyo and coffee with cream (sublime coffee.

Ran out of my decaff ground coffee yesterday and had to use a dolce gusto grande caffeine pod. Heaven. Even made it in my really snazzy heat activated colour changing coffee cup n saucer to mark the occasion. I remembered it was good. But the sheer exquisition of the experience... Omg... But of course, it is now 1am, and I'm wide awake. We have to pay for our pleasures, don't we?


Lunch was 2 rice cakes (12gcarbs) swamped in taramasalata.
Then that was so gorgeous, I had it all over again at 4pm.

Supper was fish, microwaved with garlic and double cream. And a mountain of green beans. The ones that taste almost nutty.

Glass of coconut milk at bedtime.

A day of sensual enjoyment.
And, again, not enough veggies.
 
I just for the life of me could not work out what DP stood for ...I was slightly confused.com

B .100g frozen blueberties ...I find them more economical than fresh.
50 mls double cream ...
One undressed ..cashew and datebar.
AKA a naked bar !
L.last bowl of brocolli and stilton soup
D salad ..with maybe some eggs swamped in mayo.
 

Hi,

Those Nakd bars are GORGEOUS.
But the ones I have tried have huge amounts of dates in them (up to 50%).
Raw fooders use dates as a sugar substitute, and I used to put date puree into my hot chocolates as a sweetener, in the days when I was searching for sugar alternatives. But the sugar spike stopped that fairly quickly!

Hopefully, you will have a much better tolerance for dates than I do, but worth checking, just in case...

Hiya Ive,

I've got "Dr Bernstein's Diabetes Solution" 4th edition - the ebook version is about a fiver whereas the paper copy is £22! I've also got his "the Diabetes Diet" but I haven't started reading that yet. I also got "Blood Sugar 101" by Jenny Ruhl, which is a real eye opener! Should be required reading. - I don't know why they don't give copies out at diagnosis, 'cept it would send the drug companies apoplectic!
