Great start for you @ziggy_w and thanks for the mention. Not totally convinced by less stressed but I haven't tested really since Dec 14ish and had no alcohol since about Boxing Day plus swapped coffee for cocoa. I also think deep down I understand huge swathes of how others deal with their condition are fascinating but not for me. Have a great day
Great photo and that would have given an excellent view and amazing experience so a day to treasure.
Hope the walk helps with the sneezles and you eventually pluck up courage to try the carrot cake sponge. Those mints sound good but not worth a 40/50 mile round trip for me unfortunately. May be worth us looking for flavourings to make dark chocolate palatable. to me now I am honest enough to admit I won't eat the huge stack we have anymore as it is.good morning all
4.6 today
thinking of a quiet day today, I seem to have a mild case of what my nephew used to call 'the sneezles' this morning but it's not too bad outside so I will probably go out for a walk later to see if the fresh air will help
I didn't get around to trying a carrot cake version of LC sponge yesterday, I wussed out on grating the carrot and reached for the cocoa powder instead
I was in Home Bargains on Saturday and found a bag of Elizabeth Shaw 70% dark chocolate thins. I think they are intended for corporate use because they are individually wrapped,, each bit weighs around 5.5g. (so @ 2.5g of carb each), a bit higher than my usual chocolate but worth having because they are easy to carry around and portion control. If they have any left I might get a couple more bags.
Hope your Monday treats you kindly
Last year ( 2017) my sister gave me a chocolate making kit. Everything in it was organic including mint essence. Somehow I havent found time / motivation to get round to making it but I couldnt resist trying some of the cocoa butter which is amazingly like very, very bland chocolate. For myself I like the 90 -95% blocks which are readily and instantly available in the shops .... but making your own doesn't seem to be a massive project if you have time.... ?
So glad to hear you are feeling better. I've not been able to catch up on the forum properly for a few days so hadn't realised you were under the weather! Have a good day x
After Brexit "sans" will only work in certain situations which are yet to be determined . As I type a well paid committee is being set up to decide where and when it will be appropriate. The committee is publicly funded and are paid by the hour and headed by politicians so the decision may be some time in arriving....
To be honest though I do like dark chocolate I some times snag a couple of chunks off Judith's Cadbury's Oreo bar two chunks works out to about 5gms of carbohydrate so not all that bad occasionally.
Lets hope you get a confirmed diagnosis this week SB...it seems such a long wait for confirmation...how frustrating for you.Woke up this morning to a 9.7. Very happy to be in single figures! Let’s hope that this will be a good week
Thank you! It has been a lot 3 weeks... at least the DSN’s have been on hand and have been helping me increase my insulin
Thank you! I’m even more surprised they have stayed at 9 this morning and not yet shot up
