Thought I would revive this idea as it has proved popular in the past for people to see what sort of things others are eating, and perhaps pick up some ideas of things they might also like to try 🙂

My diet is pretty boring really, but here goes with what I ate yesterday:

Breakfast:
slice Burgen S&L toast and butter, 5 mugs of tea.

Lunch:
Two soft-boiled eggs with two slices of Burgen S&L toast soldiers, buttered.
Mug of tea and Muller Greek-style lemon yoghurt.

Smoked ham salad with a few oven chips. Cadbury's caramel (oops!😱)

Snacked on peanuts and cheese during the evening.

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

I like the idea of trifle - I had a big one for my last birthday as a thumb-your-nose-at-diabetes-treat 😱 :D
 
yesterday I ate:

Breakfast: Rice Crispies, I always always have these - I love them, with lots of sugar on 😱 but lots of insulin to compensate!

Lunch: Tuna Salad Baguette

Dinner: 2 Chicken Burgers on baps, Chips and Salad.

Choc Ice.
 
Yesterday - all bran and greek yogurt breakfast

Burgen sandwich with cheese and tomato and nectarine for lunch

Mccains wedges, sausages and broccoli and 2 plums for supper. 2 squares of dark choccy

2-3 rich tea biscuits through the day with numerous cups of tea - bit of a teapot too 😉

I can't have sugar on anything these days, it's too sweet for me! You should be careful about timing of your insulin doses as that breakfast will give you a hefty spike if it hits you before your insulin has got to work 😱 Especially in the mornings I find I am much more insulin-resistant - I can inject an hour before eating and my levels won't have fallen!
 
Breakfast: Fat free yoghurt with stewed rhubarb (sweetened with splenda) tea x 2
Lunch: Mixed lettuce leaves with spring onion, 4 home grown cherry tomatoes, few cubes of feta cheese, some chorizo sausage and 5 green olives. Diet Coke
Tea

Snack: Peperami and tea
Dinner: grilled salmon fillet broccoli and mothers home grown runner beans. Tea

I think my caffeine intake needs looking at....
 
B. scrambled eggs on 2 slices of toast

L. bowl of scotch broth soup & fruit

D. chicken kiev, oven chips and mixed salad
 
yes I learnt about that spike when I was pregnant and was told to eat Weetabix or Porridge as the rice crispie,s even without the sugar, caused a spike, but they are all I like, if I didn't have them I would probably not eat breakfast. Whilst on steriods I have to have breakfast (to take the tablets with) and I am also so hungry and I am trying to put weight on, oh and diabetics shouldn't skip meals - most important last - typical me!

Thankfully most of the time my sugars are down to under 7 in the morning (steriods have an 18 hour time period bringing them nicely back down) and I avoid testing my sugars straight after so I don't feel guilty, which is so wrong I know. I do go low an hour to two hours after but that doesn't bother me I'll just enjoy a tiny snack then, all helps with the weight gain : )

Thats not nice that it can take an hour after for them to go down, frustrating, that happens to me in the afternoon / early evenings.
 
Breakfast- w bix
lunch - Hotdog(cumberland sausage in a finger roll
Dinner- Beans on toast
Snacks nibbled on various things in veg patch
Plus plenty of fluids in the form of tea,coffee,sqaush and water
 
Skipped brekkie. Had huge mug of Lady Grey Tea with no milk. 1 mug coffee.
Lunch Sarnie of 2 slices Burgen with ham and egg mayo salad + an Activia creamy yoghurt Banana flavour (43g carb total)
Cup of ginger tea
Dinner: Spicy Lamb with broad beans http://diabetes-support.org.uk/diabetesforum/index.php/topic,3215.0.html and some extra preserved lemon. Followed by a fruit platter which consisted of strawberries, melon, paw paw, mango, pear but only quite small amounts of each (hubby eats the leftovers for brekkie with some Lidl Yoghurt).
Before dinner we had a glass of Pimms with diet lemonade and with the meal a glass of red wine each.
