What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

Thank you all for the hugs @alf_Josiah and @gennepher as well as the kind words about my memories of my dad @Annb @jjraak @dunelm. Sunday lunch over including a lupin bread and butter pudding - liquid sucralose sweetener. May have obviated the need for/scratched the pannetone itch at lower carbs . Just the cocoa and a win for Ingerland left to make this a Lou Reed day tn context. Elbow are for summer, innit. @dunelm are you available for weddings and Bar mitzvahs?. @gennepher thanks for the video and the light of the world allusion in that creative.

You are welcome @ianpspurs
 
What lovely memories you have of your dad @ianpspurs
 
How was the lupin flour bread pudding? Did it taste OK?
 
Was searching for warm thermal base layers this morning and found 3 pairs of M&S thermal base layer leggings - never worn because they are 2 sizes too big for me. I think I bought then in a sale 20 years ago.

Wore a pair today and they are brilliant - as they almost come up as high as my armpits. They are so cosy with my thermal base layer top tucked inside them.

The B and B pudding was very nice. The non LC eaters thought it was like a brioche based version, no idea it was anything other than normal except when I had some. I had found the bread left an odd aftertaste but with the fruit, sweetener and grated nutmeg no problem. Thanks for the comment on my memories, Good news on the base layers. Hope you had a good walk and a warming coffee afterwards.

A win for the day...

But what with you in armpit high leggings and the clicking castanets of @Lainie71 & others, the imagery rivals a Benny hill production ..
 
That's great that the fruit, sweetener and grated nutmeg disguised any aftertaste.

The walk was lovely and really good that the warm cafe was open so Mr K had his sausage roll and I had coffee and a coconut cream tub of vegan ice cream which was lovely and not over sweet.
 
4 am it was 8.8 and Libre indicated that it had fallen to that, so was probably fairly high during the night. It'll be on the way up now - I just had a cup of tea and some pills. Must stay awake. Em will be here about 7.30 so her mum and dad can go to work. Maybe I'll make a fry up of sausage, bacon and egg so she can take her pick for breakfast. So can I, of course. I stayed in bed longer than I should have - very difficult actually moving this morning - took me about half an hour to turn so that I could get my legs out of the bed. Must be the colder weather. I don't think it's any damper here than usual. Still plenty of time to get my shopping list ready for Neil; it looks like a long one this week.
 
Good to read that that lupin flour is being put to good use.
 
Good morning everyone on an early up and out sort of day here in the dark and dangerous north. I have instructions. They have been written on post it notes around the house so I have moved them up towards the ceiling, the better to ignore them. The gist of it is that Mrs Miggins needs to be up at 0715 as she is off on a wee trip with her twin sister to do secret female staring in shop window things and making noises like pigeons. I shall play that Tom Lehrer number, “Poisoning Pigeons In The Park”. Art bit - finished the detailed scratches. Now, do excuse me as I have to extend the waking up prodder to it’s maximum length. Oh for a good koffy!

 
To be greeted with the smells from that fry up - magical.

She just chose a bacon sandwich - for her that is 2 slices of white bread, spread thinly with tomato ketchup and fried bacon. That left me with 2 fried eggs, 2 slices of streaky bacon and 2 sausages. Shan't be needing anything else for quite a while. BG before eating was 16.9 though, so perhaps it wasn't too wise to just finish off everything.
 
The fried food shouldn't raise you blood glucose much. The sausage if its quality sausage should not have many carbs, eggs very few and bacon not many just hope you didn't have bread.

Well played and that breakfast will surely drag those numbers down in a couple of hours.
 
They just need a couple of straps over the shoulders and you have thermal dungarees @Krystyna23040

(PS I have some, the same, that stretch and stretch and stretch...)
