Flourless peanut butter cookies

Posted on September 7, 2012 at 3:25am 2 Comments

These are just so delicious. You can add choc chips if you like, or coconut, or chopped nuts.

Ingredients

1 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup liquid stevia or substitute
1 egg

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Combine ingredients and drop by teaspoonfuls on cookie sheet. Bake for 8 minutes. Let cool. Recipe doesn't make very many, so you could double recipe as you wish.

Diabetic Alert Dog?

Posted on July 22, 2012 at 10:25pm 6 Comments

I have had the most dreadful cold all week, the chemist refused to let me buy cold/flu tablets since they raise the blood pressure of diabetics so much, so I have been going it alone. I have actually never felt more alone in my life, no lemon and honey, hot blackcurrant drinks, no comfort at all, just me and a few boxes of tissues. I broke down and ate a mandarin orange one day, was delicious, but oh dear, did it ever raise my blood sugars! My little poodle behaved most oddly, snuggled up to…

Hi Maureen. Here where I live, it will be a Snow Day rather than Boxing Day! Guess we'll get five inches, so we'll hunker down with our Christmas presents: Paperwhite Kindles, actual hand held books, and DVD's. When the dogs go out to romp in the snow this evening, I'll towel them off and call it their winters' bath!

Hi Pastelpainter, I do like your new avatar/painting. I'm confused about our time differences but at any rate, Merry Christmas!

I'm jealous... we had snow today :(

Our Annual Campaign is coming!

Would you consider helping by writing a short comment/testimonial about your
experiences at TuD? The main message for the campaign this year is that no
one with diabetes should ever feel alone. Messages from our community give
people a real-life, personal sense of how valuable TuDiabetes is to each of
us, how it's changed our lives, etc.

If you can, please include a photo of you doing something diabetic (if that
makes sense LOL). Please post to this group
(http://www.tudiabetes.org/group/why-i-participate-in-this-community), or
message to me from my page.

Thanks my friends!

Maureen - I saw on the frozen shoulder discussion that you teach tai chi.
How long have you been doing this?
I have had a practice for 30 years. It really helped me with my recovery from the long illness and was essential for keeping me grounded when my head was spinning from emotional issues.

Greetings Maureen! Well...the kids are all gone! Danielle moved out about a month ago, and Timothy and Steph spent their first whole day in their own house yesterday! The little ones came to their house (with their cats) this evening...they were spending the weekend with their other grandma. It's such a void here!!! I'm unfamiliar now to how utterly QUIET the house is!!! I keep the radio going...as the lack of constant sound is...well...deafening!
The fridge is empty....gotta get some "stuffing"!!
Funny thing happened yesterday. The neighbour told Len this morning that at around 11:30 last night some young people pulled up in our drive and headed up to the door with cases of beer!! We almost had a party lol. The neighbours redirected them to Timothy's place. Honestly...11:30! They undoubtedly were there 'till wee hours! Thank goodness it wasn't here! That's not for me anymore! My version of a party has GREATLY changed from my early 20s lol!! Funnier still....apparently the party folks and their beer never made it to Timothy's!!!!
Our children's birthdays are coming up....Danielle will be 28 on the 31st of July....and Timothy's is the following day, Aug. 1st....he'll be 26! Feels like just yesterday I was pushing them in a stroller! Sigh!
How's it all going at your end? Hope all is well with you :)
Take care of yourself ♥
luv and hugs....linda
