Christmas can be such a a difficult time. We feel the loss of those who have died all year round, but feel it even more keenly at Christmas when they were so much a part of all our family traditions. Christmas just isn't the same without them.Evening @MissMuffett. We've missed your posts.
Excelente @Bcgirl. The typical Mexican way of eating is not particularly diabetic-friendly, but there's lots of interesting foods you can eat, as you say, without pushing up your BG levels.After a week of increasing numbers I have finally given myself a smack down….i have proven to myself that I cannot eat carbs. No more corn tortillas. Even just a couple of small ones….my body just can’t. Holiday or not, no cheating!
sigh, I’ll just watch hubby eat.
7.1 this morning, 9.9 two hours after eating. I had eggs and chorizo, some guacamole and a few corn tortillas. The worst I’ve been for a long while. And we walked to and from breakfast too.
there’s lots I can eat, so for that I am grateful. Grilled chicken salad tonight and lots of water and electrolytes.
its gorgeous here and snowing back home.
Yes @mojo37 it can make for very very long days, when a few hours shut eye is needed.I'm the same not the getting up and eating but the being awake for hours ..drives me mad .
Evening @Ashybang and @mojo37.Yes @mojo37 it can make for very very long days, when a few hours shut eye is needed.
Very frustrating indeed.
I find it such a relief when I've been to bed and awaken to light outside, but it doesn't happen often enough.
Not a seafood lover at all….but it would be a perfect low carb dish.Excelente @Bcgirl. The typical Mexican way of eating is not particularly diabetic-friendly, but there's lots of interesting foods you can eat, as you say, without pushing up your BG levels.
Have you tried ceviche? Originated in Peru I believe, but has now caught on in Latin American countries all along the Pacific.
Oh sweetie, that's sad. My heart and hugs go out to you. Tough time of year, but take what you can from us loons, we're all with you. xGood morning everyone. Disappointed with the start of this weeks results at 7.4. It’s been in the 7s for nearly 10 days now and I haven’t posted often as I’ve been really down in the dumps. Missing my husband who died 3 years ago
Hurray! Infection under control now, hopefully.7.4 today.hopefully on its way down.fingers crossed.
Thanks for replying.Evening @Ashybang and @mojo37.
Do you find it hard to fall asleep when you first turn in for the night? I used to lie awake in bed until I adopted the same, non-negotiable bedtime every night. Keeping to a nightly routine is the single factor which has helped me the most to get a good night's shut-eye.
If waking during the night, for no obvious reason, is the chief hurdle, this may be closely connected with your diabetes and changes in blood glucose levels. It can be a bit of a catch-22 problem which is self-perpetuating, but it's possible to break the vicious circle. if you can bring your BG levels down, by reducing your carbohydrate intake during the day, you may well suffer fewer sleep disturbances.
