19th Sept rediagnosed as type 1( week before they thought type 2) spent 3 days on an insulin pump and fluid drip in hospital came home on Tuesday. I am usually an all day fruit and veg grazer after breakfast so sticking to 3 meals a day is really difficult.

I never used to eat breakfast or lunch, ate dinner then stuffed my face late evening so the change was hard too, once you have been diagnosed a bit longer and start your carb counting etc you wont have to eat 3 meals a day if you don't want to though, although I have stuck to it and feel better having a routine now 🙂 xx

L: out and about in a posh Italian cafe selling all sorts of carby things, found mozzarella sticks on the menu which I really enjoyed. Plus a couple of my OH's fries. Overestimated the carbs to be 25g.
Intermission during matinee of "the comedy about a bank robbery" ( see it if you can, it's brilliantly funny): tub of hazelnut & caramel ice cream. Estimated at 25g carbs.

L: In a very posh gastro pub. A G&T, Kentish blue pannacotta with tiny griddled pears followed by mussels in white wine & lardon sauce and a small piece of french bread, followed by whiskey & butterscotch parfait all helped down by a shared bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon.
No tea after that lot but a cognac & tonic and later a piece of toasted burgen with pate.
