Fantastic news! Ate mash and didn't spike high!

B: coffee with cream and
Edited to add (cos I forgot) 4 of my meaty breakfast balls
S: coyo
L: 2 oatcakes with a lot of taramasalata (won't buy more oatcakes after this, but glad I've checked them out)
D: out for meal with friend. Chose belly pork, which was delicious. It came with lovely fresh green wilted crinkly cabbage and a hefty dollop of creamed garlicky mash. And I ate it all, plus the lovely creamy mustard gravy/sauce.

The mash was very, very, nice. And with a great deal of trepidation, I tested after:
7.1 at 1 hr
8.2 at 2 hr
7.0 at 2.5 hr

Am absolutely delighted! Of course, 8+ is higher than I would like, but it is much lower than I expected. And much lower than it would have been 3 months ago.

Another example of how great that diabetes miracle eating programme is. Diane Cress really does know what she is talking about, and my pancreas wouldn't have coped with that meal nearly so well before I followed the programme.

I can cope with ms I've got good pain relief but I think one of the worst things to suffer with is severe anxiety. I truly feel for you and on top of that you get chronic pain with fibro which is horrid x
 
Delighted for you and very jealous lol

Click to expand...

Thanks . The fibromyalgia is manageable and I often have periods of relief but the anxiety really sucks. My mum has had it all her life too and my son has OCD so I guess it's familial.

Haven't posted for a little while, but today had:
Almond porridge for breakfast - have finally settled on a breakfast routine that I like and works for my DP! I can even have some raspberries in it without spiking! The trick for me is making it with coconut oil. At last I can have what really looks like a proper bowl of hot cereal/normal breakfast, but without the carbs. Am so chuffed!

Lunch: 2 egg and mushroom omelette with broccoli, cheese and a little fresh tomato sauce. A bit of ice cream (rare treat)

Tea will be sausages, spring greens and a little butternut squash
 

Could this be even better gently warmed in the microwave I wonder? (just the 9 bar - would make it a bit caramel like)
 
B - 4 x Good Little Sausages, 2 large organic tomatoes on the vine, grilled
L - half avocado, 10g blue Stilton, 6 cherry tomatoes on the vine, sprinkling of pine nuts
D - Will be - chicken and mushroom omelette with wilted spinach . Coconut Collaborative natural coconut yoghurt sprinkled with flaked almonds.

Has anyone seen this? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/a...-eight-hour-time-frame-NEVER-snack-night.html

Gotta dash - supper's on the table...
 
Breakfast was a third try with porridge. A much smaller portion but as advised on here made with water and a hefty glug of double cream
Result! Porridge back on the menu!
L was avocado half grilled with mozzarella and chilli and salad
Supper is pork tenderloin with creamy cabbage and a few ribbons of carrot
 
B: 2x fried eggs, bacon & tomato; coffee
L: Home-made spicy veg soup with half a leftover sausage and smokey chipotle sauce, all whizzed up
Snack after walk: berries, seeds & double cream
Tea (cooking now): Salmon in Thai-type coconut milk and spices, braised fennel (not tried that before), steamed broccoli & cauli.

EDIT salmon recipe delicious but fennel overpowering. Keep 'em separate next time.

B: cupboard was a bit bare this morning so I had a slice of ham and cheese
L: ham salad and a naughty sponge and custard
Burgers sans buns with mediterranean veg and berries yoghurt and cream later tonight
Snacks: popcorn
 
Dinner was meat pattie and veg (onions zucchini) Reading pre dinner was 5.8 then 7.2 at one hour. Decided to treat myself to 4 squares of 65% cocao.

WON'T do that again ... shot up to 8.8 at 2 hours so I pounded the pavement for 20 minutes. took at reading at 2 1/4 hours and it dropped back to 6.8. I have no doubt exercise post a meal REALLY drops my numbers.

5.7 this morning.

Hmmm let's see:

Coffeencream. Then 4 of my meaty breakfast balls. Don't really think I needed all 4, but hey ho, they ARE lush.
Unfortunately, Mr B has abbreviated the name. He's calling them Meaty Balls. You can imagine the rest of the sentence. He's only doing it to annoy me. It's working.
Snack of 11g carb popcorn, dipped in extra thick double cream. Oh my.
Hummus, salad and a 9bar
Lemon garlic butter chicken, with sugarsnaps, 1/4 of Mr B's innocent veg pot, berries&cream
