Well, in more detail, it's 2 weetabix and skimmed milk, 125 ml OJ
Half tin of baked beans, three slices of Warburtion's seeded batch bread, 125 ml yoghurt
Shop- bought pizza, errrr...normal size! Three scoops ice cream and about 12 raspberries.

I just look at it basically (maybe read the packet with the pizza) and mostly guesstimate the carbs for my insulin doses based on previous meals and other factors like level before, exercise, hot weather etc. I was 5.5 before breakfast, 6 units NR. 5.8 before lunch, 10 units NR. 4.4 before tea, 11 units NR. I was 6.8 2.5 hours after tea.

Hope that helps!:D

How do you spread half a tin of baked beans over 3 slices of toast?! hehe

My levels would never be that good after all that. They would have been when I was honeymooning. You are VERY lucky.

Agreed, it was quite thinly spread. I've been eating less recently as I'm nudging the upper limits of my desired weight range and also being very lazy (too hot, too rainy, too windy to go for a run!):D

Am I honeymooning? I have no idea, but will ask the DSN on Friday.

I have no idea. I only realised how easy I was having it when my levels suddenly started going up to the 20s every day whilst I was at uni and I decided to try doubling the amount of insulin I took. It worked, but since then it has been so much harder :( Maybe you are honeymooning, or perhaps you are just very lucky.

20's would terrify me, I must admit - but I know it's always a possibility:(
