You should make this a sticky alan...reckon this could help lots of peeps! 🙂

I also think this because it would help others and give others ideas for meals.
Or maybe a link to this thread - Group 7-day waking average?

Yes, I thought it would be better to list the previous day's food in case some people eat later 🙂

That's a good idea too

Snack: Nectarine and pear
Dinner: 60gm wholewheat pasta with king prawn, tomato, chilli and rocket

BGs: 4.8; 5.1; 5.1; 4.9 (Average of 5) and woke up to a 4.9

This time last week when I got back from holiday, it was 5.7; 5.7; 4.8; 5.2 (Average of 5.4) waking up to a 5.3

I've basically followed the same pattern every day but substituting sliced sausage for cheese, brown rice for wholegrain pasta and varying the salad stuff, mostly to include fish in this warm weather, olives and feta cheese.

BG times are first thing in the morning, after lunch and after dinner and just before I go to bed. Pointless doing more when following the same eating pattern but interesting that there is a visible daily trend downwards, albeit small. It tastes good, fills me up and at least I won't go wrong on it.

Mixed salad with sliced roast duck for tea tonight!

 

[Northerner]

Do you do bedtime tests as well Susiecue, to see how your levels are changing overnight?

Just found this thread Alan. What's Burgen SL bread ? SF jelly ? and is it ok to skip odd meals if basal insulin seems to be about right and not much changes if say I don't bother with lunch ? I would still test just to make sure. I just hate having to eat just to take insulin. Opinion please 🙂

Burgen SL = Burgen Soya and Linseed, a forum favourite! 🙂

SF jelly = sugar free jelly, another favourite!

Yes, certainly it is OK to skip meals if you are on basal/bolus. If you test and your levels are on the high side, you can just do a correction, otherwise your basal will just keep you ticking along 🙂
