What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

@SaskiaKC meant to say well done for reaching the weight plateau. Put the choc chip cookies down you know its best. (confess I have been sneaking in the occasional dark choc Florentine since Christmas but I do have to pick my moments!)

Assume I’m mentally healthy for this post.

6 mos since discovering Type 2.

Low carbs (-20 grams) healthy fats and very strict.

Results amazing.

Christmas holidays with weight loss, I OD’d on chocolate chip homemade cookies (but they had high % cocoa and Einkorn flour!)

Fasting BG in am 170 (9.4)

No kidding— for a full week I had obsessive thoughts about homemade warm melting chocolate chip cookies.

Last night, the cravings were less.

Remove assumptions now.
 
@SueJB it was a takeaway but there is an easy cauliflower curry recipe which is quite dry on stepawayfromthecarbs.com which I intend to try.
Thanks @PenguinMum Here'sone for onion bhaji... might have a go and replace the chickpea flour with........??? any suggestions anyone?
 
Good morning one and all. fbs of 8.6! Not the best start to my Epiphany birthday but just had my first catch up phone call with my old friend since her cancer surgery 2 days ago and she is feeling much better. Best birthday present I could have wished for! Have a lovely Sunday everyone.
 
Happy birthday and good news about your friend. Enjoy your day and bg will soon sort itself
 
Happy birthday @dogslife

Double drat. I liked cauliflower curry in the Old World BUT you have drawn me in to probably trying a recipe from one of these websites. We try them and then it tastes like a Dementors kiss after way too much faffing about - on your head be it

When I put Keto cauliflower curry into Mr Google one came up for IP though cant remember which site.
 
Even better................ these are baked
Thanks Sue looks good...btw I would not use onion powder in the other recipe..a finely chopped small onion or banana shallot would be tastier.
 
Happy birthday and very good report of your friend.
 
Happy birthday
