So after an exhausting day at Luna Park where 35 degrees heat turned out in actual fact to be 42 degrees and the North wind ( like a hot hair dryer in your face)...we returned home to grand daughters birthday party. I had not known this was happening as son said not...but his wife had invited people and made a spread of party pies ( Aussies favourite mince and onion mini pies) samosas spring rolls you get the drift....and of course birthday cake. I descretely found my punnet of cherry tomatoes and had them...but mindful of not much elses short of being impolite and making a salad for myself I had some of the beige buffet.....now I am not one for pastries and never have been. I make a mean mince and onion pie myself but never make them unless its a special request to take to someones get together...Pastry is so unhealthy and never sits well with me. I had a small piece of cake first bit of cake since Before October I guess when I was diagnosed and to be honest cheesecake factory frosting seemed mostly whip cream and not very sweet at all- good for them. THankfully the BM 2 hrs after was only 8.3mm. High for me but then I have stopped my glicozide till I get home and speak to GP....so on metformin alone I am so pleased that was all it was.
So good old metformin.....you did your job LOL! The next day was a toilet day........on the bright side I lost another 2 pounds!
Especially good the next day a fish day for lunch and dinner I baked some King Dory fish - my sons wife hates fish so he only gets it when I visit and take him to the fabulous Melbourne Markets where the choice of fresh fish is fabulous. It was absolutely gorgeous just done in a bit of butter with parsley and served with cauli and brocolli .
I feel like with the low carb diet and the metformin my body is overcoming the insulin resistance my tricyclic causes that I take for fibromyalgia . If only I did not need to take those pesky fibro drugs. I was reading that chronic pain in itself of any kind raises blood sugars too.
