Hugs @Lanny . Hope you have some good time with your sister.

Up at London this weekend, had some fairly decent food too.

Saturday
B: Oats So Simple Porridge Bar
L: Mozzarella, tomato and pesto flatbread, salad, latte. The place we went into for lunch had sugar free tray bakes on the counter, Nutella-type-flavour one, and a peanut butter one. I bought them to try and they were lovely. Only a marginal spike as well when I had them, about 1.5 up. I'm going there again.
D: Bunless Chicken Pesto burger at Gourmet Burger Kitchen.

Sunday
B: Hotel buffet breakfast - small bowl of muesli, lots of bacon, egg, and mushrooms.
L: Pasty. Caved, but there isn't much selection at Paddington station.
D: Two pieces of Low Carb Hovis Wholemeal toast and butter. Loads of walking over both days, did about 26,000 steps over the two days.

Monday and Tuesday have been fairly normal in food. Have bought food to experiment with a meatball bake later on in the week, so hopefully it'll go well.

Sugar free traybakes? That would be good if in London. Can you remember the name & area of shop please?

8.4 ain't so bad, I would settle for that lol

Exactly, it was a rise of just under 2, so I'm very happy. But I have to remember it's not carte blanche for me to go ahead and get back onto pasties, but that if I'm really stuck, I've got an option.

Just got 12 days worth of readings written into my monitor diary for my DSN phone-in tomorrow from this thread: been very lazy about writing them in! Realised it was MUCH easier than getting them from the meter as I know, from posting here, what reading corresponds to before or after meals etc.

I'll do that in future as I got a few readings written in the wrong slot a fortnight ago! Lazy not to write diary entries straightaway &, to be truthful, it'll continue! BUT, I'll have them written here with the doses of insulin so, no more mistakes: VERY useful! 🙄

I am useless with my diary these days, but I'm about to change my monitor to one with bluetooth so hopefully that'll keep me better informed!

Sugar free traybakes? That would be good if in London. Can you remember the name & area of shop please?

Yep, it's Toi & Moi in Soho. I took a picture of the sign so I'd remember if I'm back that way again.

Yesterday:
B: 50g Muesli, semi-skimmed milk
L: Pub Carvery; pork w/crackling, beef, cauliflower cheese, peas, 2 small stuffing balls, one yorkie and 2 small roast potatoes, with gravy.
D: 2 pieces of wholemeal toast with cheese and marmite, 100ml of caramel Halo Top.

A little pacthy testing again today! Low after dinner reading was a surprise & I just have 1 last oatcake left. But, have a tesco delivery tomorrow! More oatcakes & dumplings! 😛 Who knew that oatcakes would turn out to be so useful! My sister-in-law, also a T2 for 30 years, introduced me to them to me & it took me some time to acquire a taste for them: thought they were bland cardboard! But, now with low BS & not eating breakfast sometimes, they’re very useful & tasty! I have them in a little tupperware box on my bedside table with a jar of no sugar peanut butter: also very useful but, haven't needed in a while! Ate 3 full meals today! 🙂
