No, much as I love cheese, I definitely don't have it in my coffee but I do enjoy it with my coffee sometimes (a nice bit of blue Stilton works well) and I occasionally have to resort to a knob of butter in my coffee if I run out of cream..... I would not recommend that though 🙄 . It is an acquired taste and I am still working on acquiring it@rebrascora I read that as you having cheese and cream in your coffee but I presume you mean just the cream Thanks for the reply - I definitely just need to be a lot more focussed and not try to pretend that I'm not diabetic.
When I was first diagnosed I thought I was doing the right thing munching on grapes instead of sweeties at my desk. It was only when I mentioned it to my nurse friend and saw her shocked face that I knew it wasn’t good. She calls them sugar bombs! I rarely eat fruit now, mainly because it doesn’t agree with me anymore, but I have gradually tamed my sweet tooth, not completely though. It’s taken 12 years! I find it’s best not to have temptation in the house. I can resist anything except temptation!@rebrascora I read that as you having cheese and cream in your coffee but I presume you mean just the cream Thanks for the reply - I definitely just need to be a lot more focussed and not try to pretend that I'm not diabetic.
Actually ended up being a coffee shop.9.7. we ended up having McDonald's last night night as it was one of the only options where we staying (just for one night). And and was 3.6 just before going to to sleep and treated it but also had an Oreo as 4.6. not so if is was a timing issue so prepared to wake up a tad high this morning in fact I was half expecting it be over 10. I given half a unit because I thought if I would correct a 10 why would I not correct a 9..7.Vi just remember that danfe says don't correct after a hypo though but then again they dance hypos as less than 3.5.
It may be McDonald's againfor backdast so going need to eat loads of heathy food when I get back (for some reason I have feeling I wouldn't need to spit dose for they backfast like I might for the main meal
I’m in good companyMorning all - looking bright but who knows what it will be like later.
7.4 this morning with a pretty steady line overnight. Looking at my time in range over the whole 90 days it is only 78%. I think I am suffering from carb creep. I don't crave sweet things, but I am pretty much addicted to starch. Probably the way I was brought up, when a meal was not a meal without some element of starch, though back then it was potatoes rather than rice or pasta. I've let potatoes in all their glorious variety creep in. Jackets, mash, new potatoes, tartiflette, dauphinoise and roasties seem to form a part of every evening meal. So chin up @zippyjojo, you aren't alone with your cravings.
Plus not a lot of exercise - spent yesterday sitting on my bum in the study doing Christmas shopping online whilst Julian hogged our one and only TV glued to the rugby.
@Gwynn my thoughts are with you and your wife. No wonder you are both terrified. Your situation is tragic. I think you've had some good advice here regarding not holding back at the carers assessment. Tell it as it is in all it's glory. I wish you both luck tomorrow.
@Bexlee.... my phone has never spoken to me! Perhaps they've issued an update to the IPhone version of Librelink.
The Finns have a coffee drink called Kaffeost I think. It’s hot black coffee poured over a very hard, very gentle cheese.No, much as I love cheese, I definitely don't have it in my coffee but I do enjoy it with my coffee sometimes (a nice bit of blue Stilton works well) and I occasionally have to resort to a knob of butter in my coffee if I run out of cream.....

Sounds horrible.The Finns have a coffee drink called Kaffeost I think. It’s hot black coffee poured over a very hard, very gentle cheese.
I agree with you but then it’s so far out of our frame of reference that it’s going to be very much an acquired taste to us.Sounds horrible.
But there again the Finns have a lot of horrible sounding food, my daughter used to share a house with some Finns, and she was traumatised being vegetarian when they had cooked some blood sausage and they didn't realise it was 'meat'.The Finns have a coffee drink called Kaffeost I think.

I would happily give it a go if I was offered but don't think it is something I am likely to try at home.The Finns have a coffee drink called Kaffeost I think. It’s hot black coffee poured over a very hard, very gentle cheese.
