I was so shocked I said nothing.. but I did drop him in it with the big big boss at a later date ;-)
I believe that's called sexual harassment. Did you say that's fine. Let me lend you a magnifying glass so you can find it?!
Big hug. Lost my little chap yesterday to aggressive bone cancer! Enjoy your time left with him! Big hug!You are a sweetheart, LL, thanks for asking. My pussycat is napping next to me at the moment. He is a little bag of bones, but is still managing to eat, jump and does not seem to be in any pain. He is 8 years old. From his X-Ray, the vet is 99% sure he has intestinal lymphoma. Without opening him up, they cannot be 100% sure.
His treatment options are chemo or steroids. On steroids, it is hoped the tumour will slow a bit or even shrink. He has started steroids, thanks to @Brunneria 's great idea of hiding the tabs in Brussels pate, and is now very hungry all the time! Hopefully he will beef up a bit. On steroids his life expectancy is a few weeks. It was a heartbreaking decision to not go down the chemo route. We want to do the best for him and chemo might give him a few months, but it would involve him having an operation to establish the kind of cancer then regular chemo without hope of an ultimate cure. We would rather he spent his final days playing in the garden with his brother and his human family, rather than in an unfamiliar cancer ward which he would hate. He is insured up to the ears so mercifully we did not have to consider money in this difficult decision. We have no idea when he will leave us, depends on whether the tumour shrinks/grows/causes a blockage and for how long the steroids are effective.
Meanwhile he is being spoiled rotten, as always! Vet says to let him eat whatever he wants. He has lots of cuddles, his brother for company, a cat flap into a big garden with trees and bushes, 24 hour room service, not a bad life at allX
I have been quite lucky with my boss. He knows I will kill him if he tells anyone about my D so he always offers me sweeties etc so that I look "normal" in front of the others
Ooooooh. Please may I have the recipe?View attachment 5334
Philadelpia fish cakes yesterday (between 2!!).
Wished I had taken photos of seet pointy peppers stuffed with Philly n bacon lardons today...

Shame it's not workingOh, poor you, hope you've had something to numb the pain.
It's just that a couple of us on here have been doing the LCHF diet for a month or so and we have both suffered from the high fat bit. I'm just speaking personally now, but that bit of the diet didn't suit my digestive-ness ( is that a word?) . My friend found some articles saying there were increased cases of heart disease in some scandinavian countries where a lot of people were following this diet. I always had a problem with the thought of high fat, and I didn't / couldn't maintain it, that's probably why I felt exhausted, I wasn't having enough fat and protein to keep my energy levels up. If you eat cream and cheese and full fat everything, it's got to have an effect on arteries. So with me having heart problems already, I just couldn't risk it. Sorry if it's not what you wanted to hear love. xx
To be fair, he owes me one since spilling the beans to his business partner about my mental health...ggrrr.that's a better sounding boss. I had to email friends that we are staying with at end of month to say I'd bring own grub and it was awful saying I have D -I have told some people, but I really don't want all and sundry to know.
Mmmm KFC!!

Diagnosed prediabetic Easter 2014. Just left to get on with it, no guidance or help from GP. Every day I'm learning something new.
Please could I have the recipe for the moussaka?

The goats certainly think so too!Goat!Surely you mean quorn.
(((Goats)))

I know what you mean about all and sundry. Not only is it quite private, but trickling out the news gives you time to get used to it yourself. Plus, rightly or wrongly, I feel D has a stigma. I have to tell my friend on Friday..not seen her for a while as she moved abroad. Coming for dinner and a sleepover. She is famous for making tactless remarks about my weight so I'm worried she will take this news and have a field day
Please can I have the cheesecake recipe?Brunch: 2 quorn sausages and a fried egg (Been watching Ethyl eating sausages and wanted some!)
Dinner: 3 bean salad, guacamole, minty yogurt dip, baked Edam "Doritos". (Mouth on fire!)
Pudding: low carb raspberry and chocolate cheesecake.

Been there and at that lecture! Am t2 and can't eat starchy carbs as they send my bs into stratosphere. But I need to eat rice, bread and pasta.... Er no actually. I prefer not to have a hypo! Try not to punch her on the nose!Definitely not been a low carb day! Sunday at work = stress and hypos = me needing comfort food! (I work with someone who likes to tell me what I can and can't eat and raises her eyebrows when I say that as I'm type 1 I can eat what I want as long as I match my insulin to it - even though I generally don't - today, I bought 90% dark chocolate and she had a go at me!) sorry for that little rant! Consequently, today started well, and has ended ****!
Breakfast - Greek yoghurt and berries
Lunch - vegetarian fajitas (with lettuce leaf wrap)
And then... One square each of Lindt 90% dark choc and Lindt dark choc with caramel. Quater of a millionaire bar.
Then after an argument - feast ice cream and magnum white (yeah I know, fatty)
Just now - toasted tea cake with loads of butter - naughty, but maaaaan it tasted good!
Adding up my carbs... I now feel guilty... And a little sick so start again tomorrow! :'(
Do you do fasting bloods before?Yup.
The thread is here, but it's looooonnnnnggggg.

If you want the short version:
As far as I can tell, by snaffling a little snack before any physical activity at all, you are telling your liver 'no need to dump glucose into the bloodstream, there is food on the way, see, here is a sample of the low carb goodies to come'
- Eat a cheese string or Brazil nut the moment you open your eyes.
- Do not go for a wee first.
- Do not get up.
- Do not pass Go.
- Do not collect £200
It took 2 weeks, but by then I had reached the point where my dawn phenomenon stops in its tracks, and often drops slightly, before breakfast.
Nowadays, I have a Brazil nut every morning.
