I miss porridge so much……and pasta! The rest you can keep. I was never a great fruit or vegetable eater
Was it the excitement of the good number perhaps?7.3 - Oops! Pride before a Fall…. 2 points UP from my celebratory 5.3 yesterday. T2, the Great Humbler.
Yeah, that’ll be it.Was it the excitement of the good number perhaps?
What are/is speculaas? I’m intrigued.6.2 this morning - nothing unexpected. 2 things occurred yesterday, 1. I made some low carb speculaas - yum yum. I am very determined to very slowly eat the lot. Taking account of the carb content of course. And 2. I seem to be suffering with either BPPV vertigo, which I get sometimes, or my neck stenosis has been aggravated in some way. Went to get something out of the fridge yesterday - came over dizzy and ended up falling to the floor. It could have been a lot worse though as I just missed hitting my head on the dining room table. Still somewhat wobbly today so being extra cautious.
Evening @Ashybang. This morning's reading of 6.9 mmol is none too shabby after a rough night.Horrible headache and sleepless night.
Paracetamol usually work wonders, but this time pain clung on and ruined any chance of decent sleep.
BG reading this morning of 6.9 mmol.
Up on yesterday's fasted 5.7 mmol, but considering the night I had, I suppose its not so bad.....
Sending Hugs not bugs ........
A few folk are lame in the stable with varied issues, so hope for speedy recoveries for all.
It's basically a Dutch spiced biscuit made at Christmas time, (cinnamon, and mixed spice) something like a Biscoff, I am quite fond of spiced biscuits so I decided to try making them by substituting the wheat flour with almond flour and used erythritol for the sugar content. Worked out ok but I guesstimated the carb value at around 3 gms carbs per biscuit so I'm limiting my other carbs to accommodate that. I've actually just googled Keto Speculoos (Speculaas) - same difference- and found various recipes - here is a link to a recipe at 1/2 carb per biscuit. Haven't tried it but it might be nice - If you like spiced biscuits of course. https://www.gnom-gnom.com/gluten-free-keto-speculoos-cookies/What are/is speculaas? I’m intrigued.
Gosh your dizziness and fall sounds scary, thank goodness you missed the table. Sending hugs x
Evening @Ryhia. I've suffered intermittently with BPP vertigo for some 3 years, resulting in balance issues and a couple of falls. Getting older, as body components begin to wear out, isn't exactly a bundle of laughs. Retirement certainly has its compensations though, provided that your general health is all right.
