and there's a lovely community here:

I tend to rotate the same tried and tested, diabetic-friendly meals quite a bit. Although my pool of recipes changes through the year as and when new ingredients come into season, there is quite a lot of repetition.

A rare pub meal out last night. Twice baked soufflé and salad (best option on the limited menu). I drank sparkling water but then spoilt it by having a hot fudge brownie which totally wasn’t worth it as it was dry and tasteless. It didn’t stop me finishing it though! :rolleyes:

Not at all bad considering! I’m always tempted by desserts but usually manage to restrict to ice cream . I wish I could find one which had less sugar, I’ve turned into a label nerd in the supermarket.
 
Was far higher this morning at 6.8

going to try again a late snack in a few days as I’m sure there’s some response going on in the night, where if I eat something i don’t get a higher reading in the mornings.

Not scientific because I did take my first reading after a bit of morning exercise, not first thing as sat up, so that could have skewed it a bit too.

olate Pots. Often found in the "free from" sections as they are dairy free (I believe but double check if that's important to you) I also believe they're vegetarian but again, check.

Look out for the Coconut Collaboration little Chocolate pots. You get 4 very small pots, each is 8g carb but taste very good, even better if you can put a teaspoon or 2 of cream on top. Be careful though their other products are higher carb.
4 used to be about £2 but they've recently gone up to to £2.89 in Sainsburys

Morning @PenguinMum and @flonvic.

One approach is to have your last meal of the day no later than, say, 6.00 pm or 7.00 pm and avoid snacking afterwards.
Have you thought about joining @MissMuffett's challenge to stop eating after 7.00 pm? It's worked wonders for some of us.

‘Stop Eating After 7pm’ Challenge

Who will join me? I intend to do this for the rest of January- 10 days and hopefully I’ll have broken the habit by then and carry on. I‘m not hungry, I suspect I’m bored and it’s becoming a habit. So I thought if there were a few of us that struggle with this it would be good to record our...
