I'm sharing my healthy snack with you today, a handful of blackberries, seedless grapes and there were 3 pieces of light marble cheddar cheese on the plate! It's completed with a glass of 1% milk.
Husband M had a successful checkup with his doctor last week. His A1C reading was 7.2, down from 9.2 just two and a half months ago. These are his blood sugar test results. The doctor would like to see that number under 7 but was surprised at how well he was doing in such a short time. She was all prepared to raise his medication which is what she does for so many people. She took notes on what he was doing as she wanted to inform her other patients. He told her that for him, the 2 diabetic clinics she had sent him to were invaluable as he learned a lot there. He had switched from granola type cereals to one we found called Fibre 1 by General Mills. In his favour, his blood pressure and cholesterol are normal. M's next checkup is in 3 months, so hopefully things will still be on track!
In other complications, M remembered his needed an ice breaker tool and promptly went out and bought one. Remember that we are giving him one for Christmas as a surprise! I had to tell him, so he will return the one he bought and the surprise will be in what kind it was and what this one looks like. I can nag him for weeks about other things on his todo list, they never get done, go figure!

Your snack looks great, and glad your husband is doing well. But too funny about the ice breaker! Have a lovely day, hugs, Valerie
It is so tempting to tell people what you got them. At times though it's essential to avoid waste. I saw you did your cards end of November. I haven't started yet. I await the birthday out of the way first. When she was younger i had to focus on childrens parties, then breathe and relax then xmas bits, in that order.
he did just what you were afraid he would do, !!!! He bought it himself!
Great news on bringing his numbers down!! I know exactly how hard this can be ,, my husband keeps his under seven by diet alone,, hoping to not have to take meds, it is an ongoing struggle,,but he is diligent, I give him credit for that, not easy at all!I'm so glad your husband is doing well, continued good healh for him,
Good for the both of you!
That is wonderful news about your husband's health!
Beautiful photo! cozy and tasty !
What a healthy and delicious looking snack indeed! I'm glad to hear about your husband's A1C, that's great news! Sorry about the ice breaker tool, I'm sure he appreciates your thoughtfulness. I bought something for Alex that I know he'd like to buy, I am just crossing my fingers...
That's great news about your husband! And that snack looks yummy and healthy. Good for you.
The snack looks yummy. Glad your hubby is doing so well.
WEll, yes, after mentioning it here online there's another reason to tell m too your "surprise!"
While your snack looks yummy and, yes, very healthy, I would still be so hungry afterwards! you must be a match stick, Christine if that truly fills you up! :)
I like how clementines taste this time of year. Clementines/tangerines are popular snacks for the Christmas season is certain countries in the world. I think the Dutch version of Santa Claus even gives them out like a candy cane.
You are a good wife and helping him and yes, it's ultimately up to him, but you are doing wonderful things in exposing your family to new and better wholefoods.
May the food adventures continue, well into the years to come.
Delicious and healthy!
