Hi everyone, what a useful post! Great to have an insight into other peoples habits and diets.
I have just started keeping a food diary this week, and am finding it very useful indeed. I was diagnosed about 6 months ago and am in a 'honeymoon' period, so my body is gradually producing less and less of its own insulin, requiring me to increase my doses. Recently i noticed my sugars creeping up, and the diary has been really effective already in helping me keep to more healthy levels.
Yesterday I ate:
breakfast BG 4.9 : branflakes with raisins and semi skimmed milk
lunch BG 4.8: packet of crisps, sandwich, apple and a cadbury's creme egg (guilty pleasure!)
after work I went a bit low - BG 3.3: a few sweets then packet of crisps
dinner BG 5.9: bread, salad and grilled lamb. 2 glasses of wine
One of the most revealing things about the diary is the honest amount of alcohol that I drink - every night this week I have had 2 glasses of wine. Not terrible, but probably I should have a few dry alcohol free evenings per week.
Anyway, I definitely recomment keeping a diary!
