Maybe I should try a danish pastry before bed.:D
 
I was just turning out one of the spare bedrooms and found a canvas fisherman's smock - it looked almost big enough so I tried it on - Weeellll - a bit tight - maybe put it on the rail at the end furthest from the door for next year - then remembered that it is a 'genuine' Cornish fisherman's smock - bought in the 1970s and the size - SMALL!!!!
I'll be looking in the wardrobe for my kaftans before long.

Markyp...not sure you need to get those waking numbers down any further...any excuse for a Danish Pastry...is that your Achilles Heel?:D.

I haven't had one since before diagnosis. I have had a cream Belgian bun though, though not for a while.

OOh...could 'kill' for a cream bun Mark...have to confess had another one of those moments last night...had my usual small KitKat before bed...then succumbed to a couple of packets of mini Smarties too (the kids love them...shhhh...they don't need to know)😱😱😱...relieved to manage a 5.3 this morning...can't get complacent...need to rein myself back in

I’ve always found those eclair type things (choux pastry filled with cream with a splat of chocolatey gloop on the top) relatively gentle on BGs as far as those sorts of things go. Probably pretty high calorie, but I think the cream does a good job of slowing the carbs in it down a bit.

I've had a choux bun occasionally. They are indeed very kind to my BG's.🙂

I was foolish enough to succumb to the cream bun temptation on Friday Bubbsie. The DF thrashed me mercilessly all afternoon and late into the evening for my lapse. It was a custard doughnut however and I suspect the bread element was like pouring liquid glucose into my system. Off the list now! 😡
 
I am an underweight Type 2 oap and it is difficult to buy suitable clothes I need skirts that cover my knickers !! (Sorry t m i)

Oh Carol...roared with laughter when I read this:D.
