Well, I've been struggling mentally the last few days which means my BG has been higher than I would like so yesterday when I got up, I wasn't in the frame of mind to make any logical decisions. Shot myself 4 units of Fiasp along with my Levemir and had my coffee with cream and then started thinking about what I would have for breakfast.... no granola left and by this time my BG was dropping fast. Ended up making some porridge with water, then added frozen berries, mixed seeds and creamy yoghurt. Had a bit of a panic moment thinking that the porridge is supposed to be slow release and my BG was already down to 4.8 from 7.2 but went for it. Really enjoyed the porridge (not had it since I started on insulin and my digestive system got straight to work on it and held me steady. Had to top up with a piece of dried fruit later to keep me in range and had a small packet of pork scratchings mid afternoon but otherwise I was good all day BG wise and didn't feel like I needed lunch. Had a lot of stuff to do with the horses and then move them to their summer grazing so 3 trips a mile up the hill and back with them and didn't get in the house until 10pm for something else to eat. Had some roasted pork spare ribs and then a boiled egg salad with coleslaw and a glass of rum and coke and a glass of water, none of which required any further insulin so I made it through the day on that 4 units at breakfast.
Very happy with that and as a result I did the same today and just needed a couple of slight top ups... an apple this morning and a square of dark choc with a spoon of peanut butter this afternoon but staying nicely in range and not needing lunch. Hoping to eat a lot earlier tonight though.

Well and truly fell of the wagon today.
Breakfast - nothing.

Drank decaff tea for most of the day.

Ate two pepperami sticks during the afternoon.

Just shared a large cod and chips with my husband - he had most of the chips but I still had a fair number and I had a glass of white wine with it. I had mayonnaise and lots of vinegar on mine and now I'm having a mug of peppermint tea.

I ran out of tester strips so I have no idea what my blood sugar levels are - I expect they will be around ten at peak going by previous encounters with fish and chips.

A couple sat by me on the river wall today and they were eating fish and chips. The smell was intoxicating!

I found the new cheapy blood glucose monitor I bought and it has ten test strips in with it. I checked an hour after eating and it was 8.2 and I just checked again now which is just about three hours after eating and it is 7.2 - so I think I got away with it!!!

All day drinking black decaff coffee.

Today:
Breakfast: Flat bread made with wheat bran and vital wheat gluten and flaxseeds and egg powder with egg salad made with boiled egg and mayonnaise. So a bit egg heavy, Didn't affect my blood sugar level at all. 6.5 waking and 6.5 after eating.

Skipped lunch and felt a bit dizzy around three in the afternoon so had a handful of peanuts - blood sugar 5.4 before peanuts. Felt okay then so didn't test after eating.

Evening meal: Had a proper wheat flat bread. I made them for my husband and couldn't resist. Had loads of butter on it and had another cold boiled egg.
Thought I'd got away with it - an hour after eating my level was 8.1.
But a couple of hours later it was 9.4!!!!
I had a big cup of peppermint tea and tested again an hour later - back to 6.6

I wonder how many carbs is in a large Farm Foods hash brown? I told my brother I'd just have the roast chicken and some sprouts for tea and he goes and does me chicken, sprouts, tinned carrots, gravy and one hash brown! It would be churlish to refuse or do people disagree? 🙄

I did a search and came up with around 18g in one hash brown. So for me that meal would have more than my daily carb intake in one hit.
For someone on a low carb diet around 40 - 60g a day it would be okay as long as the other meals were not overly high in carbs.
