Yes peeled. They didn't come with the shank Kaylz. Didn't have any baby new spuds so I used 1 smallish spud cut into three and steamed all the veg. The shank was delicious ~ just enough meat on it for one person ~ the rest was all bone. Very tender and succulent as the outer wrapper says. Lubbly jubbly 🙂 x

Novorapid the same as it wasn’t long ago I had a series of hypos. BS started to come down a bit late last night & have gotten better as the day went on today.

Editied to add *(BS 6.6)

Lanny, why not post your recipes in the recipe thread so more folk can see and try:~
https://forum.diabetes.org.uk/boards/forums/food-carb-queries-recipes.4

Hope your Shingles are not as painful now, it's a horrible virus ~ my dad had it in his head and one of his eyes ~ horribly painful for him and horriblely painful to see him suffering. Hope yours clear up soon. Take care now x

Yes, the BS readings, in brackets, before the meal & 2 hours after the meal. My hospital team know that I’m drinking full sugar juices & taking honey in tea. They don’t advocate carb counting in type 2’s but, my dietian has agreed to start teaching me when she posts an appointment in a month or two. She said to concentrate on counting calories in the meantime, as that’ll help the weight loss, which helps everything else.

Maybe the sugar issue will be addressed. I had been worrying a bit about it myself but, didn’t want to go back to 4000cals/day. More sugar & less calories vs less sugar & more calories?

I posted about it when I joined the forum under the newbie forum. “How cutting out Artificial Sweeteners from my diet affected my blood sugars & weight”.

Do you have a copy of the book CARB & CALORIE COUNTER? It's every diabetics bible. It can be purchased from www.amazon.co £10.19. It will help you tremendously when deciding what food and drink you buy and consume.

 

[Wirrallass]

B: Greek yoghurt, nuts & berries
S: Scone (quality control test)
L: Ham salad in Be Free wrap
S: Scone (another quality control test, just to be sure)
D: Gammon steak, peas & cauli/broccoli/leek cheesy bake
Pud: Jelly with berries & squirty cream

Quality Control test ~ really Mark?

 

[Lanny]

Yes, wirralass. I have the big book & the pocket one. Some really shocking cals for some meals, especially the eating out ones.

But, the books don’t tell me what carbs to insulin ratio to use as everyone is different. Which is why I need my dietian & hospital team’s help.

I’m keeping a very detailed food & BS diary with all the carbs & cals info for everything I eat along with all my sugar readings & insulin doses: thoughts, feelings & questions too.

I have noticed the more carbs I eat at breakfast; the higher the rise. But, this tails off at the end of the day. So, I’m tending to eat the carbs later in the day when it doesn’t affect my BS so much.

Also, thanks to seeing Kaylz have unsweetened almond milk every breakfast, I have tried it & love it! So, am drinking 200ml of that instead.

This is a very useful thread to see what others are eating!
