@ENKELI did the Diabetes people tell you why you are getting the sugar cravings?

Are they teaching you how to stabilise blood sugar by eating more protein?

Do you have a blender?

I hate drinking water in the morning. I have a BIG glass of coconut water and a coffee chaser with my meds.

Here’s my basic shopping list 🛒

The most economical I can find:

Coconut water

Mineral water

Light soy milk

Rice milk

Oat milk

Bananas - Potassium everyday

Prunes

Figs

Sunflower seeds

Cacao

Eggs

Honey

Crackers, Crispbread, flatbreads.

At the two big naughty companies:

Red Tractor Protein Creamy Style Instant Oats Original 750g $7.70 - my survival tool.

Buderim Ginger Refresher Cordial No

Sugar 750mL - $4.50

I buy ice by the bag and make protein water slushy.

Protein water is expensive but it lasts a long time.

That’s good @SmilingGecko . My exercise is watering the garden. I used to walk when I got up early but atm it hurts my back and in summer have to prioritise watering.

@PeppyPatti I agree with @SmilingGecko it is scientifically proven that high sugar and high fat combined causes "taste bud confusion" reprograms the taste cells and brain circuits to become less responsive to sweetness and reducing the ability to feel satisfied.

Fancy name,chemosensory plasticity, the more high-sugar/high-fat foods you eat, the less "sweet" or "rich" they taste, prompting a desire for even higher concentrations to achieve the same satisfaction.

Yes you can reprogram your taste buds and brain circuits.

Drink more fluids and brush your teeth more frequently - you to @ENKELI Hugs

@Glisten amazing post, thanks for sharing. Love your input there. Yes it is possible to reprogram taste buds.

I have so many scripts I miss one @TAB . My helper cleaned the kitchen last week and one med got put in wrong box. I found it missed a few tablets woops. Oh well I survived. Stay cool. Not too bad here but puss just came in and is cuddling up she is warm. She’ll probably move soon.

yeah not unheard of for me to miss one med @GezzaP just get vague feeling had not taken enough tablets cat came in to lounge for some cat-box action after giving up on floorboards under 'his'window that he goes to even on hot days no a/c in rm, just cool side of house and floorboards coolest part of room. prob gets a bit of draft when I have a/c on there as well.
