@Heath o Unless you are on hypo causing medication they aren't very good at prescribing test strips, my mother in law is Type 2 but as she's only on Metformin they stopped prescribing her strips last year xx

B - Porridge with almond milk, blueberries and almonds

L - Haven't had a sandwich in a long time. Spotted Burgen bread on offer in the Coop and decided as quite a few people on here have it I would give it a try. So lunch was a cheese and beetroot sandwich, and an Ainsley Harriot cup a soup

D - Chicken thighs in tarragon, roast potatoes and parsnips, carrots and cauliflower. Raspberries with double cream.

Snack - Fox's Granola ginger and honey cookie. Usually about £1.50 for a pack of 5 individually wrapped biscuits but last week a local pound type shop had 4 packets for £1 !!!!!!

I tried again with the soup this morning with 2 things:-
1 - I diluted the cream in the soup by adding it to 2 servings of another soup. But, only had the sweeter Butternut squash with sweet potato mix left.
2 - I tried splitting the dose, as I seen Kaylz mention to a newbie somewhere, my usual 8 units Novorapid split into 4 before & 4 after.

It didn’t really work as my levels still stayed high & impacted on the rest of the day: still rising when I had lunch.

I don’t know what I’ll do with the 2 portions, with all the cream, left in the freezer. Or, would doing another split work? It seems I need more after than before. So, 3 before & 5 after?

Edited to add *06:15 4 units of Novorapid

D - Leftover lamb garnished with mint chutney (could have sworn that the carb content was higher but looked at this old jar in the pantry & carbs were < 1g for my serving) Air fried Brussels Sprouts dusted with Parmagan

Hey all.

Went home at the weekend for Easter, my diet wasn't as good as normal, but not too bad. Snuck in some roast potatoes with my Dad's sunday lunch. No chocolate though.

This week I've just been cooking for myself, I made myself a huge chicken satay stir fry so I can have it for lunches this week, chicken, plenty of veg, and Tesco Satay sauce. Had pork loin with plenty of green veg last night, and tonight I'm having pilchards on wholemeal granary toast to get my fish portion in this week. Feel like it's been getting away from me a little bit lately, so I'm pushing myself back on track.

Don't think I got much chance then on 2000mg metformin and 25 mg anaglyptin

I am on holiday in Crete so my eating habits are somewhat different from normal.
Also decided after 30 years that I will start eating fish. I wondered how my digestive system would cope but since I eat eggs and cheese it’s no stranger to animal protein, and I read that our gut biome is very quick to adapt.
Yesterday was a fish free day partly because the portions out here are so huge it’s still quite daunting for me!
Breakfast: half a banana, Greek full fat yoghurt and almonds.
Lunch: grilled vegetables: peppers, courgettes, aubergines and mushrooms; a few of Mr Radders’ chips; a beer.
Mid afternoon treat: small portion pistachio ice cream
Dinner: garlic mushrooms followed by a massive Greek salad and three large glasses of dry rosé. I even ate a few olives in the hope that I can train my tastebuds to like them but so far it’s not working very well. Eaten outside in a beachfront restaurant watching the sun go down. Holiday heaven!
