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 🙂

Great, thanks Alan. Freedom at last ! :D

See, I said my diet was boring, but it is fairly predictable! 🙂
 
Breakfast:- 2 Cups of tea and yoghurt

Afternoon snack in a lovely patisserie:- Skinny latte and Black forrest gateaux (my resolve broke walking past the window of the shop!)
Dinner:- 2 venison sausages and a pile of broccoli and green beans
 
I only have one meal a day and that is at 7pm whilst I am watching the news. (I live in Spain so it is the BBC 6pm News). If my blood sugars are below 3.5 in the morning I have 2 chocolate chip cookies with my mug of tea - and no insulin. People tell me that this is not a good idea but it has kept me going for 18 years and I see no reason to change it. My meal usually in the heat of summer (40 degrees plus today) consists of Salade Nicoise with lots of potatoes, or in the cooler climes Andalucian roast chicken and roast vegetables, or roast pork ribs with roast vegetables, or a lettuce salad with tomatoes and sardines, salad dressing and lovely fresh bread and butter (margarine - no thanks).

The tapas in the local bars is very diabetic friendly, whole langoustines, air-cured hams, and very lean pork fillets with garlic on delicious slivers of bread soaked in olive oil.

Tonight is left-over chicken and vegetables because I was not well yesterday evening and could not finish my dinner - I'll add some chili sauce just to spice it up a bit.
 
Michael, if it works for you then that's great! What you describe sounds delicious 🙂
 
Just noticed this thread. Yesterday I had a home made beef burger with 4 mushrooms for breakfast. Half a ham sandwich with wholegrain seeded bread for lunch and cauliflower, brocolli, tomato, courgette, green red and yellow peppers for dinner. I did have 3 walnuts and 3 pecan nuts and a piece of Emmenthal cheese and Finn crisp bread buttered as a snack during the day. Tea with lactose free milk about 6 times through the day. All very yummy. 🙂

Let me see,

Breakfast: Toasted wholegrain bagel with bacon, lots of tea.
Lunch: Iced tomato soup and a chicken salad sarny on wholegrain bread.
Dinner: Barbeque with the neighbours: A selection of kebabs with chicken, prawns and veggies and corn on the cob and a fruit parcel (mango or banana wrapped in foil and baked with a little dark rum) served with home made ice cream. My peach iced tea went down a treat with everyone. Two hours after all that and my BG was still only 7.4!
 
Bfast: Cheerios and Tea

Lunch: Homemade burger with a small side salad

Dinner: Rib eye steak, home made chips and mixed salad. Twirl bar.
 
No breakfast or lunch - as is my norm.

Dinner: A seared salmon fillet served on a bed of spinach, mushrooms and garlic and a side dish of Spanish fried potatoes. Slice of homemade farmhouse fruitcake with a cup of hot chocolate to which brandy had been added.

Blood sugars this morning a good 5.7
