Starters and mains all look pretty good, puddings perhaps not as good, but the cheese and bics or fruit salad are probably the better choices.
 
@Leadinglights My thoughts too. I saw the nurse today for annual check . She said eat normally !!! I didnt quizz her I'll wait til the 3m test Ab1HC comes thru. Ive had a few readings just under 4. I'll be taking extra drinks and hi glucose snacks !! Plus finger mechanism
 
If it’s a walking holiday I’d have whatever I fancied pretty much, you’ll be using plenty energy on long walks presumably. Would probably avoid the caremalised pineapple starter or the meringue pudding but would have any of the others. Ice cream doesn’t have many carbs.

For the packed lunch I’d choose something with protein / fat as a filling to slow down the carbs. Or have the salad but then a more carby snack
 
Thanks Lucy . We had a good holiday Dolgllau Hall looked after me. I was more liberal with the diet - the menus were good. I managed to put on weight (i was 7stone 4 on arrival ) 7stone 7 1/2 on return. I have to do at least 1 hours offlead t walk (dog not me off lead - 🙂 everyday as hes an assistance dog. We did the beach , part of Cader Idris and played dogdge the jellyfish in the shallows of the sea.... even played pub skittles.
