If its the Richmond Thick Pork sausages I'm not surprised your having trouble with them as 6 of them is a whopping 46.8g carbs! 😱 x
 
B: very small banana mashed with ground flaxseeds soaked in soya milk with cinnamon. Topped up to 20g carbs with the addition of a sprinkle of Lizi's granola.

L: Graze box (cashews, chick peas) and a new bar I found in Aldi: dark chocolate flavour coated peanut butter bars. Despite having honey and rice syrup they are only 8.3g carbs in a 40g bar. Nice and nutty and chocolatey.

Afternoon: two apricots, raisin box

D: huge salad (same as Tuesday) with a Mozzarella and pesto quorn escalope. Pre-soaked prunes and creme fraiche
 
Today
B -wholemeal edam toastie and a cup of coffee
9:20 - cup of coffee
D - wholemeal roll with shredded ham and mayo and a lotus
T - pork loin steak, charlotte potatoes, roasted asparagus, onion gravy, lotus and a square lindt 90%
After t - cup of coffee x

Today ate

L - Tinned Mackerel in tom sauce and 2 pumpkin ryvita's
D - 2 Sausages, tablespoon of mash and peas ( I know mash isn't great but feeling a real failure)

Don't beat yourself up, as you are newly diagnosed your doses will probably need adjusting to bring your levels down gradually. Have you been taught carb counting yet or is it early days?

Hi @PURPLESALLY. You’re not a failure!!! As you’re newly diagnosed it’s more than likely they haven’t got your insulin doses right yet.
I think you need to phone your DSN to let them know what’s happening so your doses can be adjusted.
Are you booked in for a DAPHNE course ?
 
PurpleSally don't stress, it's early days, you'll soon get a handle on it. Stress makes things worse. Step away from the mash! 🙂 Mind you, I thought Type 1s could have everything if they just allowed for it?
