I'm joining @ColinUK on a 6.1 at 06:58 on this wet and miserable West Berkshire Friday Morning. I got soaked letting the chickens out. School is doing a cookery challenge this evening so my son is cooking his own tea of Toad-in-the-hole. I won't be partaking but it should be fun! I'll make the wife and I Saag Paneer later.

I’m aiming for a triple layer chocolate cake. If I can get the ingredients as I’m out of xylitol.

Click on your profile pic in the top bar and then you should see SIGNATURE as an option.
That’s where the HbA1C and other stuff goes if you want it to appear on every post you make.
If you can’t see that option or if it doesn’t work let us know and one of the admins will check your settings.

Out of curiosity Colin, what’s the carb content per portion? I’m asking as I make the most chocolately gooey brownies in the whole wide world and a portion works out at 21grms. It is just a small square as it’s very, very rich even for a veteran chocoholic like me. It doesn’t have fancy ingredients that you have to fly to the moon for, Aldi is fine! I made it on Tuesday and added a tiny bit of stem ginger which just gives it a nice background heat. If you want recipe let me know.

Yes, please post recipe!
 
Cake is something i've stopped making. I know i could have it with extra insulin but it just makes my levels go up. My weight is getting higher without it anyway so probably a good thing 🙄
Will make do with salivating over your picture @ColinUK!
 
Morning all, bit of a late check in, busy start to the day - 6.8 this morning.

Had my first Spaghetti Bolognese in three weeks last night, so guessing thats why its higher than yesterday. I did have significantly less spaghetti than i normally would though !

Had my eye test and scan yesterday. No damage to eyes, which is a relief, but my prescription changed from a +.075 to +4.0 😱 They didn't want to give me an eye test at first as i only had one done in October. They kept telling me that my sight may well be back to normal in a couple of months. I told them i was aware of that and insisted as i couldn't read documents and therefore wouldn't be able to work. I pick my new glasses (cheapest in store) up on Tuesday :D

Cant grumble though, so all in all am happy with how things are going.

Have a great day everyone 🙂

Have you thought about a spiraliser? Courgetti is a good replacement

Here it is. I use 85% for the dark chocolate, but I have used some unwanted 100% and it was fine. I sometimes add walnuts and this week I added stem ginger, just one piece cut up very, very finely. It’s very sticky so next time I will try and add it piece by piece as it all seems to just be in one part of the cake! You could use any chocolate I suppose, Terry’s chocolate orange is something I thought I might try. I cut mine into 20 pieces, it is very rich. Stores well but I would recommend freezing it to avoid temptation!
 
Late reporting today but an acceptable 7.2 again this morning but had a treat for breakfast low carb jam on toast so went up to 11.6 before I got it under control again, slowly getting snowed in here in north Germany we have about 7cm already and its starting to come heavier as I look out the window, kids are already sledging around the streets.
Have a great day all !!

Only 6grms of carbs per portion? Blimey, it looks very, very nice. Is it a pain to make? I’ve got a recipe for a chocolate cake made with prunes, 14grms of carbs per slice, the tin of prunes is still in my cupboard, will do it one day! Enjoy.
