FBG is a winner but Oppo and Yummy don't belong in the same sentence. ('ave a word with yourself treacle for using the word yummy at your age

@ianpspurs I know your previous post wasn't addressed to me but I can't resist replying, even though I have no idea what "oppo" means and meant to ask @Debandez.
This is for both of y'all --

I know I shouldn't do this but thought I would add that I am also proud as punch about my son Brother Ade as he is called now who is doing the same at Blackfriars Oxford in his philosophy and theological studies

It can mean friend but in this context you are better off never knowing. It isn't rude nor pleasant on the taste buds

You’ve every right to be proud John. It’s wonderful to watch members of the family do well. I’m sure they are both lovely kind, generous spirited lads too.

@PenguinMum hug for the frustrating yo yoing but praise for the way you seem to be handling this. @JohnEGreen you should be proud of your son's acceptance of his calling. My fbg was agreed by both Libre reader and phone as 4.6 this morning. Super Salmon Avo Salad Friday today. Praise The Lord and let the skin be crispy.

Numbers schumbers. Sleep is far more likely to do bg management good in the long run than fractions of a point off fbg. Enjoy the day ma'am, bespoke food tastes or not

Thanks Ian. Its all down to disturbed sleep. The good thing is a slice of LC toast, cooled and piled high with good butter actually brings it down two hours later so not all bad!

I am but for him and I it has been a very long and winding road but he found his way in the end or rather it was shown to him.

I hope the sleep issues resolve. Interestingly some research/opinion polls find many are/were sleeping better during lockdown. Keep having the toast and butter treatment as I remember your fondness for that. I miss your more chatty contributions but we all have threads which aren't worth wasting time with. You know I left one in particular.

6.5 today @ 0800 
. I confess I ate four maltesers yesterday and two oatcakes yesterday. I really need to try out the keto bread but I don't have almond flour at the moment.
Back to the 20g carb limit today. I'm human and bored of omelettes and scrambled eggs. What I really want is to eat a whole loaf of bread but I won't. There's none in the house and I'm three miles to any shops. Oatcakes are banned now too.

No idea of your budget or what you consider VFM but this works for quite a few of us https://mydiet-shop.co.uk/baking-cooking/74-skinny-low-carb-brown-bread-roll-mix-5905279424814.html. Using the yeast in the packet helps - @DJC3 will tell you.6.5 today @ 0800

6.1 this morning. While I'm delighted, I wonder if it's my backup meter. Perhaps it's giving me these low numbers in hopes that when the new batteries arrive I won't shut it away in the drawer for another year while I go back to using my primary meter.
Y'all have got me wanting to go to the store -- less than 3 miles away -- and buy a round loaf of wheat bread dusted with flour on top.
@JohnEGreen how is Ade pronounced?

Lol I don’t think you will ever let me forget that! Oh the shame!
