Last night - 3 and a half digestives, no I wasn't hypo
Today
2 Lifts as having weird goings on again, was 5.9 and even 2.5U has lowered me by 1mmol come dinner the last couple of days
B - porridge with 2 squares Lindt 90% and a mug of coffee
10:34am - 3 Lifts, was 5.1 via finger prick but Libre showing downward trend and was starting to get jelly legs
D - 5.5, not a bad call! wholemeal German salami sandwich, Nature Valley Protein oats & honey soft bake, pint of water (reduced insulin by half a unit as no time to see to myself in the afternoons so couldn't risk a low)
Mug of cafetiere coffee
T - 10.0, well was expected and I admit full responsibility but with what I go through on a daily basis it was a better option, smoked basa fillet, baby potatoes, steamed broccoli and a bar of moser roth 85%, pint of water
Mug of coffee

If anyone wants to criticise the way I manage MY diabetes then feel free but don't judge until you've walked at least a day in my shoes!

The fresh orange from M&S is amazing. It was my favourite until my dietician banned it as she reckoned it was nearly pure sugar. I still haven't got back to drinking it, it tastes too sweet for me now.

We've got a glut of fresh orange in our house so am helping out - after tomorrow I'll be back on the berries. I'm still too new for my sweet tooth (jaw) to have dialled it back yet!

L - Cauliflower curry with salad
T- Boiled chicken with some hot Nandos sauce and salad.

Thank you, very kind.

I think my food maybe boring or repetitive for a few weeks though, while I stabilise my BG after reducing some medicine.

Am enjoying the thread though, very entertaining and I easily get jealous when I look at what others have eat

Oh no you have used the swear word, potatoes, my favourite, first and last love.

I think yours is still interesting than mine!

Do you prep your porridge or do you cheat like me with ready break, which is not really porridge.

I make up 3 days worth at a time, so porridge oats and almond milk in my breakfast pots and then in the fridge until needed and then microwaved in the mornings, don't have time to be doing it on the cooker as if I cooked it there and then injected it would be cold by the time I could eat it and if I injected before cooking it I'd probably end up hypo before it was ready lol, my grandad adds a pinch of salt to his but I don't haha xx
 
Excellent way of doing it.

I like porridge as I find it keeps the hunger at bay, I have the almond milk now too, just need watch the carbs in morning.Unlike some people I resist the urge to add anything to it.

Regarding potatoes, I think I hold the record with my friends of eating 13 roasties in one sitting at a carvery, oh dear!
 
Weight 14 8.4 Tum 49 1/2
Not long after getting up - 6.7 @ 7.46am / pint water
Brunch: pkt (yes the entire packet!) Wall's sausages, large tomato, large red onion, a lot of garlics, 2 scrambled eggs / pt water with meds
Dinner: pt water / Sirloin steak, pkt mushrooms (I have to start doing portion control but I'm just so greedy)
Supper: pt water / bowl raspberries and single cream / carton of cottage cheese very late while watching New Tricks

No wonder I gained weight the next day. If I don't get to one fat lady by the end of the year it'll be my own fault. Wah! Why am I so greedy? My sisters aren't. Just me. :( Always the same. I used to mash the potatoes just so I could scrape the pan.
 
@Newbie777 do you know what it was in the beef stew that spiked you? If I add onions, Swede, carrots, or parsnips they all spike my Bg. But a stew with a sprinkle of soup mix (lentils and pearl barley) and mushrooms is fine. Some people would be unable to have the soup mix - trail and testing!
@Ditto portion control was a huge problem for me, I simply cannot eat big any more, i'm even considering going down to a one egg omlette.

Brunch: ground almonds and linseed porridge with blueberries.

Dinner: loaded Cauliflower mash (cauli mash topped with bacon and melted cheese and 2 chipolatas.

I have tried but have reached the conclusion that I do not like cauli mash, which is odd as I love Cauliflower infact rather like the idea of @Newbie777's cauli curry!

Fruit teas throughout.
