I have to agree. I don't like to think it and I would be very unwilling to take cow's milk out of my diet - more so butter and cream but I may have to consider it if it helps to control my crazy BG.
Staircase shaping up nicely there. Is Rapunzel locked in a room at the top?
I'm the same - coffee never gives me a boost and I can quite happily drink it at night and still get a good night's sleep (for me - about 3 hours).
Yes you are right @dunelm. When I looked back at last year at this time my blood sugars were also higher than normal for me. Not as high as this year though because I didn't go so far 'off-piste' over Christmas last year.
How lucky we are. A work colleague some years ago couldn't even drink one cup of coffee without having dreadful palpitations and was horrified at the amount of coffee I consumed.
Yes, I found the two.lovely cats.Fbg 6.1
The new ginger cat stray is still here...
On the wildlife nighttime camera it shows he will not leave his spot on the swing all night, not even for the bathroom. He seems determined to hang on to this spot.
He doesn't seem to get much sleep with all that busy nighttime activity going on. And when you can't see him on the video, he is tucked in that spot by the wind chimes.
Ghost Cat, the large ginger tom visits, and so does Jade for her cat biscuits on the other end of the swing. I put those cat biscuits there for Jade originally so she could snack while sitting on the swing all night!
Foxy Loxy is mooching around all night from sunset to dawn.
This garden is his nighttime home!
The new ginger stray looks as if he is staying, but he doesn't have any cat friends yet. I will name him Merlin.
Creative was done in ZenBrush3 on my tiny Pixel 4a phone screen, and then finished in iPainter, there is no Procreate on Android
Very small cats (maybe too small), but I am experimenting still...but I can see them because I know where I put them!
Dark and sleet outside...
Another cuppa from my eternal flask...
Have your best day ...
Edit: I can see both 'hidden' cats on my tiny pixel screen, so maybe a success to do the painting on my Pixel phone?

Found them! Are they hiding there waiting for birds to land, or are they so well cared for that they aren't hungry enough to hunt? Brilliant painting by the way.Fbg 6.1

Neil drinks coffee (always real, ground coffee - he won't touch instant stuff) but he find it pushes his blood pressure up. Since he has a bit of a problem with low blood pressure, he finds it a useful tool. It makes absolutely no difference to me whether, instant or freshly ground.
Smashing painting of two cat mountains. Is that you in the boat?Fbg 6.1

Safe journey, Ian. Hope the roads aren't too bad.
Thank you @Krystyna23040
No cat hunts in my garden @Annb
Should have added that any sugar is a no no for Neil that includes fructose - so no fruit either and few vegetables because they both have fibre in them - his Crohn's control diet means nothing with any noticeable fibre content. His only vegetables are mushrooms and sprouted seeds. He keeps trying others, but hasn't found any other possibles yet. He does take supplements though, so he stays reasonably healthy most of the time.
Hope that your day goes well
Really great that Neil has found a way that works well.
