Hi @Ditto. It might seem like we are all eating a lot but bear in mind 'portion size'' is paramount. If I may say, if you reduce your portion size even if it's just a little bit to start with, I'm sure you'll notice a difference even after say one-two weeks albeit small. It's not easy especially if you're feeling hungry! It's a case of training our brains to inform our stomachs what it can/can't eat & how much. We can all go overboard once in a while with portion sizes or a treat. Exercise is another thing to remember. I would suggest that you start off slowly & build up. Once in the habit of exercising in whichever form you choose it does becomes easier & not such a hardship & can even become enjoyable. For my part I actually look forward to pedalling away on my exercise bike now & doing my daily stretching exercises. My weight plateau'd in December but found stretching exercises helped me to shift those extra unwanted inches especially round the middle and waist☺I have lost 7inches from my waist & an overall inch loss of 14&3/4" to date through diet & exercise. I would also say a little/or lot of patience & dedication is useful towards an effort to achieve target weight & measurements. Hope this has helped & good luck. Take care. Wirralass x

Good advice there I have taken to using a small plate to put my meals on as it then looks like I have loads x lol x
 
I cant even post on here what I have eaten today suffice to say that I can only hang my head in shame x had a BG of 8.5 when I tested two hours after eating .... Now back to 5.6 ... But why I pigged out I do not know and have my hba1c next week too :(

Not being able to measure my blood is very frustrating. The finger-pricker just doesn't have enough oomph, maybe I've done it wrong. I get a tiny pinprick of blood but it's not enough. :(

Meant to say re exercise, I try and walk. That's the only exercise I do really. Sometimes I'm a busy bee though looking after Mum, zip zip zip, that's me round the bungalow. Mum says "You should be like a lat!" I should! 😉

Bottle water with fibre
Breakfast:
4oz Cheddar (melted into a big crisp). mmmm

Lunch:
Slice of pork, slice of turkey, slice of roasted beef.

Dinner:
A lamb shank with some kind of too sweet sauce so didn't have much, 3 hash browns.
(All went wrong, what a funnypec day! My family are bonkers. All three diabetics pigged out on Christmas pudding with double cream last night and this night they had steak and kidney pudding and home made chips. They refuse to measure.)
Bottle water and a Levothyroxine pill.

I luvs my family, they can't help being bonkers. :D

@Manda1. Snap re plate but I omitted to mention that. The side plates of my dinner service are 7 & 1/2" in diameter, tho I could easily pile the food on vertically if I so wished, which really evades the point of a using smaller plate! Does that make sense!!!Haha!

Sorry for the delay in replying. Haggis is already cooked when stuffed into either a plastic or natural casing. The easiest way to cook it by far is to split open, put the contents on to a plate and heat in the microwave till piping hot, giving it an occasional stir with a fork. If the casing is natural, I often steam the haggis, which takes around 45 minutes. That keeps the haggis more moist.

The taste varies slightly according to the manufacturer. Local butchers in Scotland often use their own recipes. The essential ingredients are lambs lights (lung), often liver, occasionally heart, and pinhead oats, with lots of white pepper. As all the ingredients are minced, their origin is not identifiable, happily. The taste is similar to faggots, which use similar ingredients. It is peasant food, in the tradition of eating bits of the animal not served at high table, and its origins can be traced to Roman times.

One of the ways to serve haggis at a formal dinner is to half fill the centre of a crown of lamb with haggis before roasting.

Because of the oats, haggis has a fairly low glycemic index, so tends not to spike your blood sugar.

Some folk will be put off by the ingredient list, and then go and eat Richmond sausages, the list for which makes my stomach turn. At least haggis is all natural.

My Brother has been type 2 for 15 years and eats what he likes. He is also a heavy drinker. He likes his whiskey. I'm amazed he hasn't ended up on insulin but he is on all 3 meds (met, glic & stig). He thinks my diet is stupid. He also reckons he has no complications. His memory is terrible & he has a frozen shoulder. I think these are complications.

B: Yoghurt with berries & seeds
L: Cheese, ham & tomato toastie
Atkins chocolate bar (reduced to clear ar Tesco)

HEY! I had a frozen shoulder just the week before the GP diagnosed me! The consultant to discovered it (from Glasgow) wrote to her the very next day (as I got the copy sent to me) so when I showed up the next week, GP looked at me like, What Now? And I said did you get an email from ... She whipped around to her computer and said, Oh.
But I didn't know that was some side effect; I'm still going to physiotherapy for the shoulder every month!
Thanks for that little piece of information.
 
Are those crackers made of wheat? They're addictive then according to Wheat Belly. 🙂

Re Haggis, we had that at the Alexandra Hotel when we stayed in Oban and we had that scrummy sweet too, Clacken, or something. Divine. 😛 I definitely want to go back there, it was a cracking holiday.
