Look at Vince showing off with the sirloin steak I'm lucky if I can afford Rump steak( not eating enough of those avocados) will have to swap steaks next time.🙂

10/04/18 (1386.23cals) woke at 04:30 (BS 6.9)
05:00 Breakfast 649.85cals 54.67g carbs 3 units Novorapid for the extra cals.
1 sausage baked cookstown 78.03cals 9.2g carbs
1 pork & herb patty baked tesco 105.02cals 0.6g carbs
2 poached eggs 158cals 0g carbs
100g baked beans heinz 79cals 12.8g carbs
150ml cranberry juice ocean spray 63cals 15g carbs
2 slices toast kingsmill no crusts 50/50 94cals 17g carbs
10g pure butter dromona 72.8cals 0.07g carbs (BS 11.4)
7 units Novorapid after eating. (Total= usual 8+2 for extra cals).

Trying a different split! Breakfasts are getting bigger! Will try to dial it back a bit. Poached egg & smoked salmon fills me up pretty well & much less carbs: helpful for morning rise!

11:15 Lunch 368.19cals 60.97g carbs (BS 7.2) 31 units Levemir & all other meds. 9 units Novorapid usual 6 +3 for sushi).
Tuna & salmon sushi tesco 246.63cals 38.4g carbs
Chilli chicken sushi tesco 121.56cals 22.57g carbs
250ml bottled water (BS 8.2)

19:45 Dinner 368.19cals 60.97g carbs (BS 10.2) 7 units Novorapid (usual 4+3 for sushi).
Tuna & salmon sushi tesco 246.63cals 38.4g carbs
Chilli chicken sushi tesco 121.56cals 22.57g carbs
250ml bottled water *(BS 6.8)

I know, I know, sushi again! I love it & know I need to cover it with more insulin! But, it’s only when I get it from my weekly supermarket delivery from tesco: sometimes from asda but, I don’t like their sushi! And it doesn’t keep so, that puts a limit on how much I can have before it’s not fresh!

Will post after dinner BS later.

Edited to add * (BS 6.8)

Hi Midnight. I noticed your record of weight loss and bringing FBG and Hba1c down. Can I ask were you on medication to start with and if you were what was it? Hope you don't mind me asking.

Don't mind at all.
I was on low dose basal insulin (6 units Humulin M3 twice a day for 4 weeks then 4 units for 1 week then 2 units for 1 week) for 6 weeks, nothing else. I don't believe that this had any affect at all.
I cut out cakes, biscuits, chocolate etc, and reduced portion sizes of spuds, rice, pasta etc to keep carbs at about 120 to 150 g / day.
I also began brisk walking (not a stroll) for 30 minutes, twice a day.
I lost a stone a month for 6 months before I relaxed things a bit (about 180g carbs a day an still walking) to maintain weight.
I use cronometer.com to keep track of everything.

It doesn't seem much but it was easy enough to maintain as I could eat a normal diet, more or less, just one spoon of mash instead of 3 and 2 roast spuds instead of 6 or 7. I found cutting bread right down to be he hardest,
