Chips can be made with virtually any veg that can be sliced, though I find they don't crisp up. Aunt Bessies do frozen veg chips that are really nice & despite they are parsnips, carrots & sweet potato, they don't spike me, and they go crispy too, somehow.

Thanks @Kaylz, It was one of the things someone recommended when I first joined the site and bemoaned the fact I was missing potato. Hard to know what is best sometimes 🙂

I can eat more sweet potato than I can regular potato, despite the carbs being higher. Though I did try a whole jacket sweet potato & that spiked me to the moon & back, so comes down to portion control.

02:55 (BS 8.4) couldn’t go back to sleep.

I lost all of the food etc. diary that I was writing in the nores app, on iPhone & iPad, for 06/04/18 & yesterday. I guess the “note” was too long & everything was erased: from 23/03/18 to yesterday. Thank goodness I had most of it copied & pasted to the Pages app for printing for the dietian appointment on 24/04/18.

It was very annoying when I was about to post what I ate on here! It took me a while to recompile yesterday but, I can’t remember the day before! Will post today’s menu later.

I must admit I like both too though I don’t find avocado has much flavour. Plump olives stuffed with something are gorgeous! :D

Just goes to show what impeccable epicurean and sophisticated taste we both have.

While I was looking for them I came across Breyers Vanilla Caramel High Protein Ice Cream, 4 bars for an eye watering £5 !!!!! https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/300455348, have no intention of buying them at that price.

Yes I've seen them online, if I'm correct they contain polyols, I could be wrong though, I haven't been brave enough to eat anything like that since I was diagnosed, been a cr*p nearly year and a half I can tell you haha xx

I can't find the ingredients online, and didn't think to look on the box, when I saw the price I sort of glazed over and put them back 🙂. Sounds as though you haven't been having an easy time, hopefully in time things will improve x

Nope not had an easy time at all, due to someone on here I gained a fear of anything that had carbs, barely ate, my BMI is shockingly low etc, got to get through it on my own as cant manage a 6 hour trip every fortnight to see someone, tough times 🙄 xx

I had gathered from bits I have read on here that it was difficult for you to get help because of the traveling. You can only take one day at a time, tiny steps, and you seem to get a lot of support from others on here xx

I was already horrified by the high cals of the battered prawns, when I finally looked up the info & thought I'd finished them all. But, found one last bag of prawns & will NOT buy again!

Slept at 13:00. Too early for after lunch test. But, not forcing myself back to my normal sleep pattern & just let it happen naturally!

18:36 woke (BS 9.1) yikes! It was the battered prawns. But, this REALLY was the last bag & WILL NOT buy again! Enjoyed them though!

I love a good chinese curry & experimented for years to find a recipe that I didn't need extra insulin for or send my blood sugars sky high. I tried various meat, veg, rice, chips & sauté potatoes all to no avail! I think this one works because there's no carbs in prawns. There is a slight rise with this. For full disclosure I AM covering this with extra insulin tonight as my starting BS is nearly 3 points higher than usual when I've had this.

08/03/18 before I started prebolusing & was injecting Novorapid straight after eating. Pre dinner BS 6.7. 2 hours after dinner BS 7.7. After 4 hours & before I went to bed BS 7.4. Waking up 09/03/18 BS 8.7.

I already posted this recipe, & method, on another thread. I will find it & repost it in the Recipes section under the Food Forum.
