What did you eat yesterday?

[kentish maid]

Little saddened that the sprouts are drying up and they'll be completely gone soon bought 2 bags while I was in Tesco tonight so at least I'll get them at least once more!

What will you replace them with? I know you like your green beans. My son can't stand runner beans, he says I force fed him them when he was a child, possibly an exaggeration but I love them and a neighbour grew them so we had a never ending supply in season 🙂

Different nutrition in green beans and not sure they would go well in with the mince, thinking possibly cabbage, never tried roasted cabbage but I'm willing to give it a go, I'd do celeriac but that would be double the amount of weight of sprouts almost to get the same carbs, having to inject for carbs can be a right pain 🙄 lol xx

You need muscles like Popeye to prepare celeriac, I only tried it recently but was pleasantly surprised.

Hmmm, I'm in trouble then, I have no muscle left! Sure my granddad wouldn't mind cutting it but not sure I could eat 200g celeriac! xx

That could be a bit of a marathon.🙂

Would do me good I suppose, but as I would've injected to cover it I would HAVE to manage it all xx

Gone off broccoli? I love cabbage but never had it roasted.

Do 2 different veg and ring the changes 🙂 Veg is done in mins in the microwave.

Yeah I've thought of doing that but it could be a waste of money as not everyone likes the same veg, I'm the only one that eats green beans, mum doesn't do broccoli etc and I've not had the time to sit and work out which veg to combine and how much of each to have with getting other things done, I will get round to it but at the moment I'm trying not to concentrate on just diabetes things as its getting me too down so I'll stick to what I know for a bit, and yeah I know but I'm not particularly keen on it microwaved xx

Sorry Kaylz, I can only respond with veg suggestions. The mathematical calculations and family dynamics around preferences are beyond me!

A slither of Mint Viennetta

Hmmmm? What do you mean by a slither? LOL, it's actually relatively good given its a pudding with a 49g slice only being 12g carbs 🙂 xx

 

[AJLang]

Yesterday 1 biscuit in the morning to get my sugar up. Then a sausage sandwich with a handful of chips in the pub. That was it for the day.
Today has been a quarter of a mushroom quiche and then a two slices of bread bacon sandwich this evening. Don't have much of an appetite at the moment.

It was an XXL one that has been in the freezer since Christmas 😱. I want to try and defrost the freezer so it has to be eaten up (that's my excuse) It is supposed to serve 10. I cut it in 4. Then I cut one of the pieces so the other half had 3/4 of it and I had 1/4 so I reckon I had about what they say is a serving (and probably about a quarter of the amount I would have had pre diagnosis 😳) I gauged the size by the amount in one of Ms Molly choc ices. . To be honest I am starting to find a lot of the sweet things I used to eat are not appealing anymore

19:55 (BS 6.7)

Had some very distressing news! A phone call from my youngest brother, one of my sisters, not the one visiting today, is in a hospice in England dying of cancer! Prognosis of 3 weeks! She’s been ill for some time & didn’t tell anyone but, her husband & son! I’m still in shock but, know when it hits my BS will drop like a stone!
When my mum was dying of cancer in Hong Kong June to July 2015, I had the distraction of taking my shift looking after her, with my other siblings. But, it hit really hard afterwards when I got back after her funeral in August 2015 & there were sudden drops in BS. I was SO ANGRY FOR SO LONG! I couldn’t do anything then & I can’t do anything now!!!
