hello everyone, i would like some feedback on how i'm doing with my diabetes control. I've lost 2 stones since diagnosis last October and i've come to a bit of sticky point with my weight loss, it's not shifting as much as it did to start but i will carry on.
My typical breakfast consist of the following:-
toast (usually one slice, sometimes homemade wholemeal bread and sometimes the Burgen low GI) & cheese
toast & bacon (sometimes vegge bacon)
toast & sausages (sometimes vegge ones)
toast & peanut butter
granola
My FG levels vary between 6.2 (have never had lower) to 7.8
For lunch i usually take a mixed salad to work with some kind of protein like chicken, egg, fish etc
My 2 hour post-lunch BG levels vary between 5.3 to 7.2
For eve meals i tend to have some kind of meat, chicken or fish with either vegetables or salad and sometimes sweet potato (100g) and sometimes spag bol with wholewheat spaghetti and homemade bolognaise sauce. I also tend to eat out quite often but i try to choose 'healthier' options.
My 2 hour post-meal BG levels vary between 5.7 - 8.8
Does this sound OK? they tend to be within the recommended NICE guidelines for T2's and i would love my FG levels to be lower but there's not much i can do about that but overall am i on the right track?
