I lost about 10% OK and have 'improved' my diet (though still manage to eat a bit of most things) and my sugars (at now 65 1/2) are back within normal limits. It is a constant 'watching brief' on weight and diet now, but so far I have managed to at least delay onset, hopefully keep it away for good.

Never knew I was pre diabetic went for bloods before Xmas as part Of my ongoing cancer kerfuffle. Blood sugar was a bit high "but well keep an eye on it, come back in 9 months" went back in September, another blood test. Levels too high (55 cut off is 53) BUt I should have been given a second appointment before Christmas and another blood test . Doctors FORGOT. on the plus side went for my annual 🇯🇵 👁Camera check on Tuesday and got another "clear' 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Houseplant Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 Doesn't sound like can't be bothered food, but I have a fish fillet/loin. There's always fish in the fridge or freezer. Coat in something tasty and probably unhealthy and cook in the pan hot and fast. If it's white fish, cook through. If it's something with red meat like tuna, I'll sear it. Usually have a sliced avocado on the side. Whole lot doused in sriracha or Japanese mayonnaise. I'll have this every day of the week if home alone.

Agriv8 Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 A big tray of good quality Bacon cooked in the bottom of the arga until crispy , bacon cooked in beef dripping. Crusty door step either side of bacon and dipped in hot left over beef dripping while you eat it as it has picked up flavour of cooked bacon ? dipped in red or brown sauce if you're a southerner !!!

I was asked to a 'chilli meal' at an ex Army colleagues many years ago. He had spent a lot of time serving overseas and I was slightly worried (even though I do like a fairly hot curry) I would be served a real 'scorcher'. In fact - it turned out a bit like minced beef with kidney beans. No heat at all! Others I have had have a lot of chipotle making them very smoky in flavour ..... others put in dark chocolate ........ lots of variety.
