It’s Shavuot and it’s traditional to eat diary produce, specifically cheesecake, on Shavuot.

Would you like a keto recipe for a quick lemon cheesecake that just needs prep time and a fridge?
It is my favourite recipe for dessert.

I’m not a huge fan of fridge cheesecake. It just can’t ever compare to a proper baked traditional Jewish one (which is what the NY cheesecake is)!
It needs the crunch I think, and it’s more a cake than a dessert. But share your recipe anyway because knowledge is knowledge!

Yippee! :D 08:44 BS 6.0!😛 First normal within target range reading in SO long: just finished eating lunch & had 40 units Novorapid, +2 for a glass of coke with it; NOW let’s see what the after eating reading is with a within target BS to start from? Umm!🙄 :D😛😎😉
 
Hi all, not been posting much as I've just been so tired with everything that's going on. Anyway, it's a 8.3 for me today and it's a day off today and I'm gonna spend most of it in the garden reading my latest Disney book. Disney'sland by Richard Snow.

Sorry but couldn't help but chuckle reading this, you have lunch at a strange time and 40 units of nova, cripey what on earth did you eat a roast with 50 potatoes? Lol..and im still chuckling at the just 2 units for the coke..
I hope you take this as the jokey post it is and not criticism.. 🙂 🙂
 
Ohh and 7.9 for me today.
 
@brisr949 I’ve been in hospital twice since 15/05/20 & most likely have CV19! Misdiagnosed as pneumonia the first time & was told, 27/05/20 the fogginess in my lungs in the x-rays was actually the CV virus. Not severely ill enough to need admitting into hospital so, trying my best to recover by myself at home. There’s been quite a battle to keep BS under control, checking for ketones, upping insulin doses steadily to find what I need now while trying to kick this snotty so & so’s butt of a CV virus! 2 Fists up emoji! NOT joking! You can read my previous posts & you’ll see that!

Edited to add:- Your reaction has just made me laugh like a mad woman too! Made my day! :D😉

Lanny is Type 2 which more often presents a huge insulin resistance and they quite often require far more insulin than a Type 1 xx
 
Ohhhh damn, i feel really bad now but i honestly didn't know you were going through such a really tough time but im very glad you took my post in the way it was intended.

My thoughts are with you and i really hope you feel better soon.
Hugs to you.
Adam.
 
Double Yippee!! :D😛 After lunch, my 2nd. meal of the day, 10:48 BS 6.0:D😛😎 PERFECT! NOW, I’m getting the BS under control AT LAST!o_O One VERY relieved & happy bunny!🙄:D😛😎😉 But, best check again in another hour in case BS drops too much: in which case I’ll dial the insulin down a bit; now working with target range BS before eating may need adjustment?🙄
 
Good thing I checked 11:58 BS 4.5 had a jelly baby & an oatcake with another hour of active insulin to go. Will check again & delay midday Levemir by an hour until I see where my BS is at? 🙄

Wow! After battling high BS for SO long now it’s kind of nice, a little bit, to have a LOW reading! ALMOST there now with the insulin doses! Have a feeling that maybe my normal decreasing meal doses of Novorapid may work now I’m in target range again? So, tomorrow, MY day from when I get up, I’ll try 38, 34 & 30 units of Novorapid with my meals & keep Levemir at 24 midnight & 42 units midday?🙄

Actually the hypo fast heart rate is JUST starting up but, I’ve already treated it!🙄 May temporarily reduce today’s midday Levemir, 13:00 today, & maybe dinner if I eat dinner: maybe go to bed & not eat it?🙄
 
To assure you all I’m ok. 12:52 BS 5.7 4 hours & 5 minutes after insulin went in, reduced midday Levemir temporarily to 40 units & had another oatcake as I’m dead tired now & going to bed! Oatcake should hold me steady while I sleep & we’ll see what tomorrow brings? 🙄
 
A 6.9 for me but I’ve had a carby weekend. I blame the lockdown blues!

Sick of the deliveries not bringing Diet Coke. Surely there isn’t a shortage and have the hens stopped laying eggs because they never arrive either!
 
@6.5 today which I am absolutely delighted with because I took a big risk last night with my food. Didn't get finished doing animals until 9pm and was starving because I hadn't had anything since breakfast and was concerned as it was so late to start cooking and to be honest I couldn't be bothered but was feeling stressed and anxious. Asked my partner to pop to the Chinese. He came back with Char Sui with ginger and spring onion, a portion of mixed veg and some fried rice. I hadn't a clue how much carbs there were in it but I shot myself 5 units of Fiasp, had all the mixed veg, 3 dessert spoons of rice and probably about 3 spoons of the Char Sui..... Haven't had rice since I was diagnosed over a year ago but knew that a spoon was about 10g carbs. BG was 4.8 when I injected and ate about 10 mins later. Can't tell you how much I enjoyed it all. The mushrooms particularly and the pork were heavenly and the bit of rice mopped up the juice. Decided that I probably hadn't had enough carbs to soak up the insulin so had a dark chocolate ginger biscuit for afters with my cup of tea. Dialled my Levemir back one unit to be on the safe side at 11pm when my reading was 7.2. Waited another half hour before going to bed when I was 7.0, so looked like I had levelled out..... and hugely relieved to wake up to an in range reading.

Unfortunately being in range didn't last long. I am experimenting with having porridge for breakfast. Shot myself 4.5 units of Fiasp, waited half an hour and had 30g porridge oats with a few berries and seeds and whole milk yoghurt and I was up to a very disappointing 9.8 two hours later.

@Michael12421 Don't be disappointed with that 6.9. It is in range and far better than being low.
Something like 40% of protein will be broken down into glucose in the absence of carbs and 10% of fat, if I remember rightly, however it takes much longer to break down than carbs, so releases slowly over several hours whereas carbs usually release their glucose within 2 hours. You have to be a bit careful if you decide to bolus for protein because quick acting insulin can kick in before the protein starts breaking down and is why I tend to use more basal insulin to cover it because I follow a low carb way of eating. My split dose Levemir allows me to do that. I would recommend that you do not try to adjust your Toujeo to cover it as it is too long acting.

There may also be an element of Dawn Phenomenon in your reading.

I know it is easy to get into the mind set of readings in the 5s being the ideal and therefore being unhappy with anything above that, but 6s are fine particularly in the morning when DP can be a factor and definitely better than 3's or 2s.
I am extremely happy to see you got through the night without a hypo (at least I assume so since you don't mention it) and had an in range reading this morning.... that is all any of us can hope for, so please don't set yourself unrealistic targets. Being in range is your goal and that is between 4 and 7. If you don't hit that target and you are slightly high or slightly low some of the time, that is also OK because we cannot expect to be perfect.... diabetes doesn't allow it. Being much to high or much too low on a regular basis is not OK and needs to be avoided which is why you took this step of changing the time of your Toujeo to see if it would help. It is early days still but please don't be disappointed when it is looking promising.

@Lanny So pleased you are getting those levels back down into range.... Good work! And congrats on qualifying for the final... good luck with that!
 
@Amigo wish I could loosen up my carb strictness and end up pulling a 6.9 out the bag!

Bruce has been able to get diet coke at Scotmid and we're lucky enough that when Lidl's are out of eggs there's a farm not far up the road that supplies the local corner shop and has a vending machine at the end of their farm road that supplies eggs, veg etc

Hope you've managed to get some Kingsmill at least? And hopefully you'll get everything else soon!
