Part 2. An hour’s misery makes one forget past delights, So fbg 5.9 and weight plus sleep seemingly not in my control. Those elements I can affect seem fine and dandy - 2 meals yesterday .8 drop and flat line at 2 hrs 4.6 bed. - same as after lunch. 2 huge pivots from me in a week. Was all set to cancel November holiday to Cyprus despite Julie really wanting to return to that hotel and (hopefully) sold this place and bought an old (er) smaller house to do up yesterday (abandoned the bigger brand new one)
@DJC3 break sounds fantastic, enjoy your time with your daughter. Hopefully Nov 17 I may be in shorts and pool slides drinking bucks fizz for breakfast by the pool - as if it were planned the holiday comes at the the end of chemo sessions. Hope the German omelette chef is still there - he was worth the price on his own breakfast songs in 5 languages.
Thought diabetics weren’t allowed bananas lolNo I didn’t see it, was it the usual ‘healthy’ brown rice and whole meal bread type?
I’m looking forward to photos of your meals when you start using your cookbook - it’s the Caldesi one isn’t it? I have it and all the recipes I’ve tried have been really good.
Glad you had fun in Brum.
Ian I totally agree thought exactly the same !@trick60 great start again young man - all your ohm work (I'll get my coat); @Muddy Cyclist really good to hear the cold is subsiding and the 6 hrs sleep - gig should be fine by the sound of that news. @Debandez I watched the programme and commented in another thread . As much as I was aghast at the nutritionist never mentioning cartbs moving those 2 from their old diet to lc in 1 go would not have worked. What amazed me was how the woman had eaten that way for 20 years with T2 and only now worried about eye damage - she's a nurse
Yes I totally agree iminnursing too and lots of diabetics ignore itI work in the nursing profession albeit with adults with learning disabilities and mental health issues and before I joined the ranks of T2 I had come across about 20 staff ( all nurses ) with the condition and very few with any change of diet. Even now I work with 3 other staff with diabetes T2 and only one of them tests her bg ( and that is because she has now progressed to insulin .I'm the only one that bangs on about carbs ( though I am no saint lol and have fallen off the wagon so many times it's a wonder that I am not black and blue lol .
Last week was a week off - good job what with my Dr suggesting "that" picture. The holiday is for Julie really - I would rather stay by the fire but I made my promises and the boys feel she has struggled through this. I just need to suck it up. I can probably put up with a 5 star hotel for a week if it means peace at home and I did like the gym and spa last time. Could give me lots of leverage should I be the kind of chap who would ever want to use it.What a great way to celebrate the end of chemo, whether intentional or not. How is it going?

Morning All. 5.7 today so thats fine. The sun is out which is good news.
Lots of wrangling choices mooted here today. @ianpspurs good call on the holiday a bit of winter sun will do you good after the difficult months. @Fndwheelie cant comment on your dilemma but sending hugs. @DJC3 your dilemma over choosing how many courses is not a bad one in my book. Enjoy every minute of your time with your daughter at that lovely place. @Debandez sounds like you and Eric having a fab time in Brum. Tandoori chicken good and not too carby once in a while. Medal for not esting one whole popadom, I couldnt do that! @Muddy Cyclist glad to hear you are better hope the same is true of @OldButBold.
Have a great Thursday everyone. Stay/get well, stay safe.

Sounds like a top place. Glad you are enjoying it. Is it in Cornwall?PM you’d love it here, not just for the luxury and pampering but they have their own gin!!
( also their own honey, but didn’t sample that obvs)
I can live with the Christmassy feel in shops - rarely visit them but do go then. My view of holidays is I may as well just throw the money into the street - never seen a pig/sheep/cow/chicken/fruit tree go away on holiday.I’m sure you’ll both enjoy it enormously. November is a great time for a treat, when the weather is getting miserable and shops have already started playing Wizzard and Slade on a loop.
It was WORSE! I was shouting at the TV as was Eric!No I didn’t see it, was it the usual ‘healthy’ brown rice and whole meal bread type?

Good morning 5.9 for me today and a whopping 6 hours sleep, forgotten how good that many hours make you feel, yipeee!
Cold is on the mend, it isn't raining, things to do so a good day ahead.
Enjoy your day, be good, eat well and hugs for those under the weather.
Thanks to everyone for all the hugs to see me through my cold germs and sleepless nights, they worked.

Morning...scraped home at 03:30 this morning spent the evening working in London again...thankfully that avenue of work is ending this weekend...doing nothing today apart from making coffee...lounging on the sofa & having the odd nap...had to eat on the way home it wasn't a great choice but in my defence I was starving...surprisingly woke to a 5.5.
