Aw lovely :) I love chilled evenings .. Me n hubby have had a massive cleaning spree today ( there must be something wrong with us :p ) hope you have a nice evening tace :) xx
 
Tonight's tea ( I'm well stuffed now)

image-1143811094.jpg

Cucumber, lettuce, tomatoes, new potatoes, 1 boiled egg, 1 tbsp light mayo & 40g low low with quorn chicken pieces cooked in onions, spices & garlic
Simple but delish :) & filling ;) xx
 
I like simple teas like that :D I made an epic work lunch the other week and it was just a bit of pasta salad, potato salad, salad, cheese rolled in Quorn ham, and a boiled egg cut in half. Was amazing!!! And really filling :D

How did the Quorn sweet and sour go? Keep meaning to try that myself.

I've been having a massive clear-out and cleaning spree of my room lately. Have filled two wheely bins with rubbish, taken 2 car loads to a charity place, donated furniture to Oxfam, and sold a big load of dvd's. SO good to do that :D Now I have some nice new things for my room and my nice bits of art and stuff will stand out rather than being surrounded by clutter and dust :D Bloody good body magic too ;) x
 
That's what I've been up to, had a new suite delivered today so went through everything in the front room and sorted it. It's amazing what you accumulate, I don't think I've touched half of it since we moved in 3 years ago :eek: It's taken me 2 days, but that's sorting a lot of paperwork as well, the living room looks empty now lol. I think we're going to watch a film when we decide on one x x

I wasn't too well yesterday .. Dodge tum so maybe that's why I had 3 hypos yesterday n one this morn ..... All my syns gone now ..... Boooo! Thank The Lord for Alpen light as a b choice for my sweet fix ;) two of them will keep me sane ;) xx
 
I know the slightest thing can send your sugars funny, Ian's the same :( maybe it will calm down once your tummy calms down as well. I think Ian is going to talk to the Dr next time he's at clinic about the amount of insulin he's taking x x

Lets hope eh ;)

Does Ian take the long acting n fast acting or is he on the mixes? I've been through every insulin goin over the years :0 .. Xx
 
He uses nova rapid, lantus and victoza which helps control his weight. I've been giving him 4 slightly smaller meals to spread his eating out throughout the day this seems to help and he does better than having just 3 larger meals x

Oh yes, iv heard good things about victoza .. I did a placement in a diabetes centre n learnt lots about type 2 .. :) I was on lantus but got switched to levemir coz lantus was only lasting me 12 hours rather than the 20 odd it should do, put me on levemir ..... As I was struggling with uncontrolled night time sugars :( ..... Sounds like your hubby's doin well, surprising how much you learn with a partner with diabetes .. My hubby is an expert now ;) well he likes to think he is :p xxx
 
He takes the lantus twice a day so only covers 12 hours like you said. The victoza is good but has some unpleasant side effects, like wind, he's lowered the dose. And as I do all the cooking in our house I read up about diabetes and I did some training on it food wise when I worked as a chef in a residential home as we had diabetics. I try to include certain herbs and spices in his diet that have been found to be beneficial to diabetics, I'm all for natural healing where possible and I always use diabetic friendly food if it's for both of us which isn't often as he eats meat. And yes you do learn a lot, I take him to clinic as he's using a wheelchair at the moment and I ask loads of questions lol x
