I suspect they're a new addition to their range Kaylz. Don't think they're particularly low carb but you only need half a bun because they're heavy and filling. I prefer them to the Lidl protein rolls though 🙂

Can't find the carb content for Morrisons pumpernickel rolls I'm afraid wirralass. @Kaylz was searching too the other day when it was mentioned. A slice of the pumpernickel bread is about 17 carbs so I just had half a bun and I enjoyed it. Very dense but nice toasted and I liked the crunchy seeds on the top.

We have lots of Toby carveries around here and they're always packed. This one we go to in another town isn't and the food is really nice. I had a mixture of succulent pork and beef and lots of different veg including butternut squash and cauliflower cheese. Lots of crunchy pot crackling too! 🙂

Thanks Amigo. Have just done a quick recky via my personal assistant, Cortana and she found two Toby Carveries in my neck of the wood, both within 8 and 12 miles from my home. Guess who will be going to Toby's? x

Hello 2day
2 plain bis cup of coffee

Lunch fish in bread crumbs green beans parsley sause

Tea pre tea blood as machine arrived 7.3 had ham sandwhich granery bread ( small slices) lettce, toms, cucmber , red pepper, dailyle cheese slice pck low fat crisps
Naught had strawberries and a small scoop of icecream cup of coffee 2.5 hrs later reading 10 so not the 2 that should be thinking mabe the icecream or the crisps. Was thinking of doing marconi cheese 2mro but not sure now or got cauil to i make own sauce just enough to coat veg with low fat spread and s/s milk plus strong cheese. Is that very bad!
 
Seen recipes on fb for slushies blueberrie, strawberries, kwiw fruit , pinnepple and mango just fruit with water and ice could i have them love the costa ones but think probley high in carbs & sugar.
 
L - bacon
D - Chicken thighs roasted on a bed of onion & red/green peppers with a side of asparagus
 
Hi Donna, firstly, great to hear you're meter kit has arrived and that you tested before your meal and post meal. So the first thing upon waking tomorrow morning is to test your waking bgl BEFORE you get out of bed - this is called an overnight fasting bgl test so don't forget to keep your meter kit at your bedside so it's to hand tomorrow and every morning thereafter.

Secondly. Well done for having three meals today Donna. You should be proud of yourself. I think the suspect for your pre tea of 7.3 could be put down to the breadcrumbs on the fish. You'd be best to try to avoid fish that isn't coated in breadcrumbs or batter - its more beneficial without & will keep your bgls lower.

Bread, crisps and the sugar in strawberries may have impacted your bgls hence your post meal reading of 10.0.but this is in normal range mmol post meal I doubt that a small dollop of vanilla ice cream, say 40g (9g carb) would have much effect on your bgl. Frozen mixed berries are great on their own or with yogurt. I know that Asda sell them but other supermarkets probably will too so have a think about trying these. I put a few in small square individual storage tubs & keep in the freezer.

Thirdly...Macaroni Cheese.
I stand to be corrected if I'm wrong, but....
25g of cheddar cheese has 0g carbs
50g Cheddar cheese also has 0g carbs.
32g macaroni has 11g carbs
and 100g macaroni has 34g carbs.

This Information is from the book *Carb & Calorie Counter* in association with Diabetes UK which I highly recommend. *Photo attached. It's about £10 from Amazon with free p&p. You would find this book very helpful in planning your meals. It also gives suggestions for meals when eating out. I refer to it almost all of the time - you see, I'm still learning too 🙂

It's good to see you're trying to manage your diabetes Donna - its not easy at first - so if you're not sure or need to know anything then just post a message here and someone will pick it up. Sorry for the long message, take care hun x

Thank you had fish for lunch not tea did myself a salad sandwich for tea. Will remember to take my kit to bed 2night to do sugar in the morning. Not having a good day 2day only just had breakfast/ lunch 2 gluten free weetbix hand full cornflacks s/s milk. Having a not hungry day so finding it hard to eat. Got mom tying to tempt me but nothing taking my fancy i should not complain about that as i do the same to her when is having an off day but i allway say has to eat or can't take her heart meds. We are both suggling to plan a menu as mom can't eat certain foods due to having Gastroparesis basicy what she eats takes over 6 hrs to digest insted of 2hrs. So we having been having a lot of salad which triggers her sickness so not good.
 
Yesterday I just didn't feel hungry, so as a consequence....

D - Spinach & Feta frittata

Note, we get these wonderful organic eggs from the weekly Farmers Market we have here during the summer, the taste is just fantastic & it will be hard going back to store bought eggs in October.
 
Glad its not just me who has days where struggle to eat. I am lucky as we have a weekly market even in winter mix of stalls not farmers buta lovely stall selling all home made jams & pickles a wonderful free range eggs often double yokes you need to get to the stall by 11 am at the lasted or sold out. Make great scrambled egg just managed to eat tin of veg soup and toast. Planning on grilled pork chop and cauil cheese for tea or chinse style chicken will see what if at at all i fancy later.

You've put me right in the mood for soup but its far too warm for that haha, my favourite is a Soupologie one, Cauliflower, Kale and Black Garlic, its delicious and only around 8g carbs in the 400g pot! x
