D Pickled Egg, Stilton & Walnut Salad (Finely Chopped Rocket Radish & Baby Pea Shoots) topped with crumbled Stilton, Walnut pieces, one Sliced Pickled Egg, squirt of Mayo, sprinkled with mixed seeds, am just eating it now
very tasty although next time I make this I think I will add a chopped dried apricot or a few fresh blueberries to sweeten
 
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.

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.
