Sorry Hana, I think it would be a bit of a long walk. I'm in mid-Essex. I believe you are south of the river. I think that would be like painting the Forth Road Bridge!
I used to walk around the office a lot, and bobbing up and down to the printer etc., so it was quite amazing that I used to get in more than the 10,000 steps that we're all recommended to do. I am very pleased that I only put on 1.8kg when I went on insulin, and it gave me enormous pleasure to throw that one back in the doc's face after she told me that I would definitely put of a lot of weight. That's was when I was semi-low-carbing (anything under 150g). I'm paying more attention now and it seems to be working - I've lost 4 pounds over the last 2 weeks, and my pregnant looking belly has definitely gone down!
Incidentally, following on from this morning's posts, I had scrambled eggs on toast for lunch, and I'm so disappointed (p****d off) that my 2 hour BG went up to 9 on one slice of bread. Grrrr! :twisted: I'm beginning to think that I'll never be able to eat even small amounts of any carbs without loads of insulin, which I really, really don't want to do. Just did a BG 3 hours after and it's crept down to 8.1. I don't know what they mean by fast-acting insulin, because it doesn't seem very fast to me! I know it will be back within normal limits by dinner tonight. I suppose I could ask the DSN, but she's a marathon-running non-diabetic twiglet who follows the party line. Nice woman, don't get me wrong, but I don't think I'll get much support there. She should read this forum, she might learn something, but I won't hold my breath.
Somewhere, I saw a receipe for breakfast pancakes made with ground almonds, eggs and parmesan cheese. I can't find it at the moment, but I think that might do until I'm in the 5% club, and lost another two stone.
Still that's my moan over! I'll keep going and will have to try something else.
Thanks,
Barb
