Yes off to my sons for my sins. Will be a total madhouse.
Actually I am missing her for some bizarre reason lol
I have been thinking about trying cannellini beans No idea what to do wth them
 
Well I had a bacon sarnie this morning, the first for months.:D
2 slices Hovis low carb bread, buttered, 2 rashers bacon and a very thin coating of HP Fruity sauce.
Waiting for the 2 hours to pass before I tested was akin to being an expectant father waiting for the birth of a first child lol🙄
Pre reading was 5.6, 2 hours post reading 6.9
Not unhappy with that at all considering I had 2 slices of bread although I don't know if 6.9 after 2 hours is an acceptable level or not after eating bread.
So that will be on the menu methinks🙂

D/S- few crisps, malteasers, hot chocolate & a mince pie

My numbers have been crap 7-12 most of the day! Not entirely surprising but will be back to less rich easier to estimate tomorrow. Was a fab Christmas and we are all exhausted!

Hope everyone has had a fantastic day xx

An hour later a goodly portion of Kir Royale pudding and cream , absolute bliss 620BD20C-BDE5-4261-A194-5C1410C32077.gif
I didn’t fancy any alcohol , chocs or mince pies, so I’ll probably have some today 🙂

A good match between carbs and insulin most of the day, especially for my annual half a grapefruit. Mmmmm

Snacks during morning visits, nibbles with presies at friends, main meal all good until the pudding!!
Over estimated the carbs and forgot to allow for all that cream that is essential with a Christmas pud!
Hypo, hypo, ....... hyper!!

It is just one day of the year. Back to snesibleness today.
 
B - slice of toast, tea

2 prawn in filo, 1 duck spring roll, glass of Buck’s Fizz

L - lobster & prawn cocktail
Turkey, beef, home made stuffing, 1 teaspoon cranberry sauce, 1 sprouts, 2 carrots, 3 roasties, 2 roast parsnips, gravy (wasn’t so hungry and left most of my dinner)
Very small portion Christmas pudding & cranberry sauce

D - Turkey & stuffing sandwich on wholemeal, tea

No cake or chocolates...I never eat much Christmas Day. Am usually too busy.
 
B Muesli and yogurt
L Smoked salmon on granary bread, glass of champagne, half an apple, satsuma, 2 Thorntons chocs
T 2 chocolate fingers, to ward off a post walk hypo (caught myself at 4.9 with a downwards arrow on the Libre, managed to stay out of the red)
D Goose, sausagemeat stuffing, stir fried sprouts with bacon, small helping roast parsnips, glass of red wine
2 helpings Christmas pudding with rum sauce, glass of dessert wine.

Funnily enough, the only time I went out of range all day was after my healthy breakfast, when I spiked up to 9.1.
