And that's what is important!

I struggle with plain, dry food. I like my food with a bit of a kick and wet!!

As a child when I had to help my mother with the weekly food shop when we were in Littlewoods food hall (always last shop as bus stop at rear so not far to carry bags) I always had a slice of Irish Cheddar as my treat instead of sweets. My sister used to have cockles from the market! Such odd children!
 
Today
B. Scrambled egg on 1 slice toasted multigrain wholemeal + 1/2 slice toast with a tad of shredded marmalade, cup of decaf tea.
No snacking but had I cup skinny latte
L. Small bowl homemade veg soup
Eve.meal. mini whole cauliflower in red pepper with a little drizzled cheese, broccoli, 2 small tinned plum tomatoes & 1 baby corn. 1/2 glass rose wine.
1000mls water throughout the day & evening.

BGLs Type2.
Before breakfast: 5.4 - 2hrs later: 8.1 !
Before lunch 5.6 - 2hrs later 5.3
Didn't test before evening meal but 2 1/2hrs later: 4.6.

*Bought 2 purple wristbands last week from Diabetes shop: inscriptions a) Type2 Diabetes and b) I'm not drunk, I'm diabetic. Gives me a sense of security when out & about.

Tofu puffs sound tasty ☺. Take care

Those are very steady levels throughout the day @Ditto, and good numbers too! Remember, being between 5 and 7 is really good and you're sla bang in the middle, so don't be concerned by low 6s 🙂
 
Well that's a relief...what about my spike to over 8 for having the rice though? I edited...I want to have curry and rice once a week but not if it will risk my health. :(

Ditto, you're really being too hard on yourself trying to stay in the 5's and 6's even after the odd more substantial meal.
NICE guidelines say no more than 8.5 two hours after a meal so the odd 8 isn't a major spike.
 
I agree with @Amigo, @Ditto - certainly if your rise after eating is 3 mmol/l or less then it's not actually a spike, so don't worry that the curry and rice took you to 8 mmol/l, your body is perfectly able to deal with that 🙂
 
Thank you for that. I will continue to monitor my Sunday rice but will have it and look forward to it! 😛

I sort of gave up crisps about 6 months after diagnosis - used to love 'em, especially Worcester Sauce and Smoky Bacon. When I last bought them they were 35p a packet at my local Co-op, noticed yesterday that they are now 60p! 😱 That's 12/-!!!

So you remember the old currency too then?
