Aw, thanks guys for thinking of me. 🙂 Warms the cockles of m'heart that does. I'm just not posting so much for one reason and another. I do lurk and get all the good info and see how y'all are doing. My iffy connection doesn't help any! I'm fine thank you. Still trying to low carb and wish my brother would stop feeding me potatoes. 🙄 I hate refusing.

Great to hear from you @Ditto Genuinely missed you. Hope everything is ok
 
I'm fine and dandy but not 100% this week, sniffles and other stuff! Struggling to get my bg down all week. Never lower than 7s or 8s. Just trying to eat as low carb as possible. I'm okay though, no worries. 🙂
 
Good to hear from you @Ditto.🙂

Sorry, I didn't test as I ate a bit late. 2 choc/peanut butter cups was too much though. They are very rich & felt a bit yukky afterwards.😳 As for the crispy chicken, I used ground linseed instead of breadcrumbs that Gino uses. It was lovely. Here is the recipe.

They'd sold out of most of the flavours when I got there, and they'd only arrived that day! I can't wait to try the cookie dough and cinnamon roll flavours! My housemate and I were stood there looking at the nutrition info and discussing what they were like and when I turned around we had an audience!!

Welcome Aline. This is a good thread for food ideas, and I like to post in here because it helps to keep me roughly on the strait and narrow!! Just keep in mind as others have said that we all tolerate different things better than others, so we can't always eat the same. But there's definitely foods mentioned in here that we've tried and added to our diets. If you want to add some bread, definitely try the Hovis Lower Carb if you can (Big Tesco, Morrisons are generally where they're sold) They are a lot lower than normal bread and are fortified with fibre and protein to help with a low carb diet. Wholemeal and seeded breads, any that have a bigger fibre content, are better for you too because the fibre slows down the rate at which the food is digested and therefore how quickly the glucose is absorbed into the bloodstream. This helps us as diabetics because it means we're less likely to suffer a BG spike, and it give the body more time to do something about it. I'm currently testing Hovis' Wholemeal Granary loaf, which is really nice and so far doesn't seem to be giving me any problems.

I can also vouch for the Nature Valley Protein bars. They taste lovely, and at less than 10g a bar they are a good snack. If you're looking at something to take if you suffer a hypo, they're no good tho - for that you'd need something like jelly babies, or dextrose/glucose tablets. Diabetes UK's page on that has the proper list on what to have https://www.diabetes.org.uk/Guide-to-diabetes/Complications/Hypos/Having-a-hypo
 
Anyway, back to what I actually ate! Was on my own this weekend, which is a time I'd usually eat as much bad stuff as possible. Determined not to this time!

Saturday:
B: Bowl of Dorset Country Crisp and semi-skimmed milk
L: Hovis Wholemeal Granary sandwich and a half, cheese and onion. Packet of Snaffling Pig BBQ pork scratchings.
D: Rump steak with fried onions, with peas, broccoli and pancetta. Bowl of chocolate and hazlenut Oppo with thick double cream for dessert.

Sunday:
B: Bowl of Dorset Country Crisp and semi-skimmed milk
L: Hovis Wholemeal Granary sandwich and a half, cheese and onion. 100g of pickled gherkins.
D: Birds Eye bbq chicken chargrills, peas and sweetcorn, with two yorkies. Bowl of Mint Chip Halo Top with thick double cream for dessert.

BG levels hovered around the 7s most of the weekend, did next to no exercise and just bingewatched Netflix all the time, so I'm not so displeased.
 
Today
B - jumbo oats, almond milk, raspberries, knob of butter, coffee
mid-morning - coffee
D - wholemeal sandwich with 1 slice gouda, 2 slices corned beef and Dijon mustard popped in the micro for 20 seconds to take the chill off lol and a lotus biscuit
mid-afternoon - coffee
T - smoked basa fillet, charlotte potatoes, sliced green beans and 2 squares Lindt 90%

S: one poppadom & a kiwi fruit.

Ok I’m tempted to try this halo top ice cream... what flavours are best? They are half price until the 29th which suits me as £5 a tub seems a little insane!
