Tuesday
B - Toast 1 Slice Buttered and no Added Sugar Marmalade
1/2 Apple
L - Sandwich Rocket & Ham (made at home took to work ive found a lower carb Warburtons wholemeal loaf 9g carb per slice so not to bad) it’s ok to eat but. Probably better toasted than sandwiches
1/2 Apple
Snack - chopped mixed nuts I’m now adding salt n pepper & seeds to these nuts
just to make them less boring as was getting a bit tired of eating them each day Mon-Fri
D - Home made chilli & Rice
home made & Frozen the Rice im eating mostly is a lower carb whole grain mixed grains
a mixture of a Thai Rice (called RiceBerry) Pearl Barley & Quinoa
we batch cook this in the rice cooker & freeze ready for my ready meals,
it’s actually quite nice and doesn’t spike my sugars like Thai jasmine rice does (which I used to eat to much of)

Yesterday

Breakfast Porridge with milk and salt. Not a big porridge fan but was out of bread. Did try scrambled egg by itself the day before but my stomach was terrible after, it needs carbs in a morning.

Lunch Jacket potato with soft cheese, spring onions, and bit of leftover chicken on the side

Dinner beef chilli with kidney beans and carrot&swede mash.

Some delicious sounding menu's on this thread, I eat so plain it's untrue. How do these foods impact on blood sugars though? This thread should be menus and bg's.

Yesterday - Weight: 14 10 (darned mashed potato) Tum: 49 1/2 Early BG: 8.6 @ 6.48am
Breakfast: pint water with fibre / Nescafe with dash milk ~
/ 3 eggs scrambled in butter, 1 lg yellow onion / pint water with meds
Lunch: pint water / 2 battered fish with mayo (why two, why not just one? So greedy), mix veg with knob butter
Dinner: 3 chicken thighs plus mayo and crispy skin mmm, green beans with Anchor

I am happy to add bgs if it helps but am a bit erratic with remembering to post!

I'd like one of those things off the tv that measures you automatically. How do you go about getting one of those and would I be able to work it? Or maybe they are only for type1types. 🙂

I pigged at the bakery as did my pre-diabetic brother and my sister, but she can probably adjust her insulin. We are all absolutely pathetic and in denial. SlimFast again today. Let's see if I can do it. Good grief.

The freestyle libre is not available on the NHS for type 2, but can be purchased online. They’re just under £50 and last 2 weeks.
