Stop drinking juice, or just use a tiny amount of juice and the rest water. Like a more natural squash.

Do you mean the fray bentos ones? You can eat almost anything. I would be tempted to have it with some different veg rather than baked beans and if you are keen on baked beans have them with eggs for another meal. So far as the pastry it would probably be better to half the portion of pastry. If you still want to eat it all perhaps have it for lunch and have a walk afterwards.
Its a butcher steak piel Its just I saw it with a red warning of foods to eat see https://www.lowcarbfreshwell.com/documents/8/Freshwell_Red_Amber_Green.pdf . So thought I need to remove it. It does get confusing, esp for new diagnised ppl. Maybe it will be ok with veg instead?

I've had a homemade cottage pie. I had half a portion with extra veg. I have also had a small pie from our WI.
I don't know if you are testing with a BG monitor if so you'd find how you react. A butchers pie should be reasonable meat. My butcher does pies. A traditional pie has pastry top and bottom. Many pies nowadays are a filling with a pastry lid. If you want to eat it don't have it with potato and have an extra portion of veg. Make a decision how much of the pastry to eat. It is all about portion control when you eat something with carbs. Your Hba1c is only just diabetic sometimes the feel good factor needs to be part of it.
If it's made by your butcher it's not likely to be ultra processed. The red section is avoid as much as possible which is why I suggest you don't have it with potato's ( more carbs)
I bought 4 new potatoes yesterday and I'm going to have two with a crab salad which is very low carb. You need to decide how strict to be. Some things you will cut out completely ( i no longer eat pasta) other things you replace or reduce portion size.

Yeah, I have removed nearly all pots from my meals and been having more veg etc. It is good meat cooked on the premises. Maybe, like you say, dont eat all the pastry ty
I used to be the Juice Queen but now tend to drink much more 'no added sugar' squash - or just add slices of orange, lemon and lime to water first thing in the morning. Because I have gastroparesis, I need to be careful with whole fruits - everything has to be peeled and eaten in small pieces. Bit by bit I'm replacing bread with 'Cloud Bread', which can be jazzed up with different seeds/spices on top and is delicious as a kind of sandwich with salad.
