@mark. Ostrich! Ostrich!! Ostrich steak?!!! Oh no, what on earth possessed you?! How could you?! Ok, so let's get down to the nitty gritty.....what did that poor Ostrich taste like, say in comparison to other meat? Where did you buy it? And lastly, did you roast, bake, grill, boil or fry it and what are the benefits of Ostroch meat, plz forgive my ignorance M. I rather like the rest of your menu tho What's on your menu for tomorrow then, Buffalo? Snake? Elephant? Only kidding! Take care. Wirralass

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! 😉

Menu for Friday 030217
Bottle water with fibre
Breakfast:
4oz Cheddar (melted into a big crisp). mmmm
Pt Aspirin water, meds, cod liver oil capsule
Lunch:
Slice of pork, slice of turkey, slice of roasted beef.
Forgot to drink my water.
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

@Ditto. Re: Not getting enough blood to test. Here's some tips that I have learned: -
1. Wash & dry hands
2. Make sure hands are WARM
3. If your lancing device has a choice of settings on the cap, then choose the largest/deepest depth
4. Press the end cap FIRMLY on the puncture site & prick your skin
5. Stroke your hand & finger/or thumb TOWARDS the puncture site to form a blob of blood NB. Don't squeeze around the puncture site.
6. Test immediately after a good blob of blood has formed.
Yeah! Now give yourself a pat on your back!!!
Hope the above is helpful to you. Good luck! Take care. Wirralass x

Actually got the Ostrich steaks from Tesco. Very low fat & high in protein. Hard to say what it tastes like. Bit like a cross between steak & chicken. Ive had Buffalo before, also had Springbok, crocodile & kangeroo in the form of burgers. Just tasted like burgers, really.
 
Anyone...plz...I'm still endeavouring to find what foods are right for me....so why is marmite featured in so many of your menu's? Thanking you in advance.
