I do plan on putting my diet in order, I just have to be careful because I only have 20% of pancreas left. So I have to also be careful that what I eat won't give me another pancreatitis attack, such as nuts, greasy food, etc. Usually my numbers aren't this bad and it doesn't have these highs and lows. This is something new that hasn't happened to me before. I will be having my doctors check it out tomorrow hopefully. Until then with the scare of dropping too low overnight I will not be taking my Novolog, only my Lantus 50units, which I took at 9PM. Thanks for the advice :D

3.7 @ 07.31 today, 4.7 before bed. (Xmas morning 4.6 (curry goat / cauli-rice, 3 large jerk chicken drumsticks, 4 home made mid sized fibre flour Jamaica mince beef patties with salad, and a thin slice of Jamaica rum cake, for Christmas Eve). To ensure good numbers on Xmas day, 3 set home heavy weights followed 6 mile fasted walk. Christmas dinner (no potatoes or parsnips), but, turkey, beef and gammon, with sausage meat stuffing (3 helpings), vegetables and gravy. For dessert fibre flour (cinnamon and turmeric) biscuit with Wensleydale Cheese, some Berries, bowl of nuts x 2, tried a taste of regular Xmas pudding and Xmas cake (both too sweet, so left these). 2 tequila shots and a glass of red wine - 3 mile walk.

good morning all :)

4.2 today

yesterday I ate the most I've eaten in months but I did just almost manage to keep my carbs under 100g. Not so my protein but it's Xmas after all ;)

low carb tiramisu was delicious and so was the chocolate and cheesecake brownie, this low carb baking could get to be a regular thing. Trying an apple spice cake today for pud. (Don't know how these will affect me craving wise yet though, might be back to 'special occasions' only after Christmas).
