What did you eat yesterday?

[PattiEvans]

Yes I did try, several times, using the DUK website. Unfortunately I couldn’t follow it as I kept getting cut off - my computer/technology skills are non existent. I have been adjusting my Novarapid but with either non or dramatic results, I feel I’m playing Russain roulette with insulin.

Do you only take Novorapid or do you have a basal insulin as well? If your basal insulin is correct then there is no need whatsoever to eat or take bolus insulin (Novorapid). It certainly sounds like you need far more support than you are getting. Perhaps if you started a new thread other T1 members may be able to help you.

Breakfast grapes and coffee

Lunch 2 chicken salad sandwiches, Cheetos, coffee

Dinner spinach & mushroom kiev with roasted wedges made from potato carrot parsnip. Also added 2 vegan chipolatas and steamed broccoli and green beans as calories and veg intake too low today

Snacks ice lolly (mini milk type), coffee

Too low on everything today, calories and all macros.

Brunch:- Fibre drink followed by coffee with cream. Creamy Greek style natural yoghurt with fresh raspberries, mixed seeds and cinnamon.

Late evening meal:- Olives with feta followed by cooked ham with a dollop of piccalilli, roast swede, savoy cabbage sweated in butter and broccoli coated in sour cream and chive dip.



I then had a cup of Options Hot chocolate before bed but that needed an extra 1.5 units of insulin

Not got anything for Thursday - had some lunch - breakfast pattie and a fried egg - but got upset tummy later so didn't eat any dinner (didn't cook any, truth be told!), it was more of a cheese and crackers night and ample fluids.

 

[RirisR]

B. Yoghurt-Chia seeds-raspberries coffee
L. 2 liv life bread toasted with pate
T. Chicken curry 2 tablespoons of wholemeal rice jelly with raspberries and squirty cream
coffee when wanted and not enough water

End of week 1 of dieting and up slightly to 6.5 lbs down, though my weight has been stable ish since Tuesday so hopefully some more loss is coming.

Breakfast: 2 vegan chipolatas with dry fried mushrooms, coffee

Lunch: 2 toast, 1 with sweet freedom chocolate sauce and the other with salmon paste (it was supposed to be homemade soup but had a bad headache and it was just a toast kind of day)

Snack: cheese string, blueberries

Dinner: spaghetti with a defrosted mystery freezer box that turned out to be a sausage in tomato/veg sauce type thing. Topped with yeast flakes for some cheesiness. Ice lolly for pudding.

Still way under on calories and all macros again today but did guess the mystery freezer item nutrition by just logging as sausage casserole.

What are yeast flakes?

Can't remember what I had yesterday but today:

Breakfast: bacon, egg and a toasted piece of the keto cheese and onion bread I made yesterday. Decaf coffee to drink.


Lunch: Cheese and tomato sandwich made with the keto bread I made today.

Evening meal:
zero carb deep fried crispy battered haddock with steamed green beans. I was experimenting with a new ingredient and I am completely amazed at the success of this recipe. I am going to do it again tomorrow and this time take pictures and maybe some film.

Throughout the day I drank decaf coffee, decaf tea and with my battered fish I had a can of blackcurrant Dash water.

I don't think I even managed to get my carb intake higher than five grams all day!!

B: Yoghurt, Berries, Almond butter, Vanilla & Cinammon
L: Grilled Halloumi salad from Caffe Italia in Coventry. Pre-diabetes, Friday was 'dirty' treat (Five guys) plus a browse of the new music releases (Finish work early). Now it's a healthy treat! I'd already received new releases (Tangerine Dream and Gong) from Amazon, but did pick up a new CD from HMV by a band made up of prog rock musicians.
D: Feta chicken from Sainsbury's with a side dish of mushrooms, onions stir fried with garlic and white wine and soy sauce and a the leftover Konjac noodles from a meal earlier in the week. Delicious.

Snacks: celery and peanut butter, plus a very naughty almond biscuit that came with my Turkish coffee in the cafe.

What are yeast flakes?

The brand is engevita. They taste cheesey but don’t have the calories and fat of cheese. Vegans use them for b12.
