Thin . . . Monet is right . . . compared to a lot of things like pre-sweetened cereals, regular soft drinks, ice cream . . . 11 grams is not a lot. Bear in mind that 5 grams is equivalent to a teaspoonful though, so you are talking better than two tsps. Personally, I tend to worry more about total carbs rather than sugar. On the other hand, I also avoid sugar if I can use Splenda instead. Just because I'd rather spend my carb allotment on other things.:shrug:

Monet . . . Great on the rain,:yes: crummy on the BGL, :no: Hateful disease. :mad:

Thanks, it was a muffin I was looking at. It's bran & cranberry,

7 grams of fibre

11grams of sugar

100 calories,

Zero Fat

22 carbs

I wondered if I could treat myself once in a while? What do you think?

If it was me . . . I'd probably just think of it as a serving of bread -- just don't have it everyday and certainly no more than one at a time.

Hey everyone..im still under the weather..not sleeping much..no energy ugh i hate colds..hope u are all fine as frogs hair..ttfn rosey :wave:

I so agree . . . there is nothing, nothing, that is quite as annoying as a cold . . . hope you soon feel better. :hug:

Good Morning . . . :grouphug:

We've got sun again . . . yippee . . . but the wind is pretty high again, too and the temps are still just lovely. Unfortuntely I slept in a little this morning (to 7 am) and my BGL is a little higher too at 6.3 (114). Curiouser and curioser as "Alice" would say. :dunno:

Once again, nothing exciting in the in-box so far today. Maybe something will show up later.

Have a great moving and shaking day, gang . . . I will see you later . . . :wave:

Hi everyone! 7.7 this morning (139) I'm baffled and annoyed. I am eating so good, all fresh veggies and fruit, only water to drink, grilled chicken breast, no sugar yogurt, low fat cheese, all whole wheat products, no sugar and every morning lately my BG is high :(

Rosey, sorry to hear your cold is still hanging over you, take it easy today, stay warm and drink lots of tea.

Rainy and chilly in Toronto today. I bought a fall coat about a month ago and then it got hot out lol... today is the first time I was able to wear it. :)

Well . . . as I mentioned above . . . sometimes interesting stuff hits my in-box a little later in the day.

This is certainly interesting . . . http://www.dlife.com/dLife/do/ShowCo...fake_fats.html . . . but far from encouraging . . . news. :(

Hi everyone.. we had snow last night,several inchs.. daisy did not like it at all..i practically had to carry her down the steps and she was walking on tiptoes:rofl:she better get used to it..my sl was 88 this am and im still sick with a cold coughing up my toenails esp at night which just makes me tired and crumpy..tried to work on some xmas gifts for my grdd's.. have u ever decoupaged? new to me to but im trying to make some headbands using the characters that they like..im a gluey mess :dizzy: am thinking it was agreat idea but not as easy as i thought.. hope u are having a good day:hug:ttfn rosey :wave:

Hi everybody . . . :wave:

Very strange day going on for me . . . BGL was 6.1 (110) this morning . . . sort of in the middle of nowhere . . . neither good not bad. :shrug: Weather is kind of nowhere too -- still mild but very, very dull. We had a lot of rain last night and we really didn't need it -- wish I could hve packaged it up and sent it of to California. They need it so very badly. :( Took Jazz in for another glucose curve this morning and it is now after 4 and I haven't heard anything from them yet which is a bit strange, too.

Nothing else is exciting for me . . . Hope you are all having a movind and shaking kind of day, though . . . :carrot:

Not much going on here. Just had a nice tart granny smith apple, I am really keeping away from processed foods these days and having real stuff.

I didn't take my BG this morning because I was so annoyed at the last 3 days in a row. I took it this afternoon and it was 5.7.

Rosey, that is funny about Daisy walking in the snow! Our English Setter (lost her in May :( ) she loved the snow and would roll it it and bound about like a puppy after the first snowfall, she would bite at it too and chew it up...

Hi everyone.. im still alive but feel like crapola..maybe if i could get a good night sleep id feel better;i did get dressed today tho and managed a few chores.. the dh does not do housework but he made me cambells chix soup.. my sl was 112 this am.. a bit high for me but it does that when im sick..i weighed this am and ive lost 5#..i guess i broke my plateau but would'nt recomend the method:?:hope u all stay healthy ttfn rosey :wave:

Hi Rosey, hope you woke up today feeling like a new woman!

My BG again is 7.5 (135) that's a whole week of 7+++ in the morning. :(

Hi there gang . . . :wave:

THIN . . . you might be going low in the middle of the night . . . try checking if you get up to go to the bathroom. You've lost quite a bit of weight and that can have quite an impact sometimes. What meds are you one? Have you made any changes recently?

ROSEY . . . sure hope you are on the mend.

Another somewhat strange day for me . . . weather is getting much cooler and the sun has gone into hiding too. My BGL was 6.3 (113) this morning. I seem to be settling into a pattern of around 6 in the morning and around 5 at dinner time -- a little higher than I used to be, but acceptable if it continues that way.

The feline menagerie is crazy today. I don't think there is a cupboard door in the house that Purrecious hasn't opened at least twice so far. The other five just wait in a row while she 'tends to the door' and then they all rush in to make mischief. Jazz is holding his own on the 4/4 regimen. Not great numbers for him either, but acceptable. Guess that's about all either of us can ask these days. :yes:

Anyway . . . hope everybody has a wonderful day . . . see you later . . . :carrot:
