These days - it is one of my most frequent meals when eating in pubs. Sometimes beef instead of gammon steak. Also, sometimes a nice salad.

Almost always a large glass of red wine instead of beer or lager.

Hi am64,

I didn't have another meal in the evening - I grazed a little on fruit (apple, satsuma, pear, strawberries, raspberries, dried prunes and apricots), mixed nuts & dried fruit, pickled beetroot/cucumber, stuffed olives etc. I suppose that was because my wife was going out to a restaurant with some of her friends and I went out to a meeting.

I quite often do eat my main meal at lunchtime usually in a pub or restaurant. However, we do sometimes eat later in the evening instead - when in the evenings those meals tend to be a Indian or Chinese restaurants. However, although it might sound as though we do, we don't live in pubs and restaurants, we do sometimes eat a light evening meal at home too. 🙂.

Lunchtime pub eating is almost always connected with a short walk to and from the pub of around two miles.

Usually, we have bacon and tomatoes for breakfast sometimes with a fried egg or omlette and/or mushrooms. If not that then berry fruits with yoghurt and a sprinkling of a couple of teaspoons of Lizi's granola.

There isn't any science, reason or great thought goes into what I do about my pattern of eating. It is all done fairly spontaneously arising out of how I feel at the time.

In general, I am doing less of sitting down to a meal and much more grazing of small amounts of food - in particular various fruits, meat, cheese, pickles etc with the odd oatcake with pate, cheese or a small amount of peanut butter.

When I think about it, I am tending to move increasingly to eating small amounts of food spread out over the day. I'm rarely sitting down to eat a large meal - today's pub meal was a large meal for me - I'd usually choose a smaller 5oz piece of gammon steak which is also on the Lite Bites menu.

Hope that answers your questions.

Best wishes - John

A tuna salad with a slice of burgen bread followed by a medium sized banana. The trouble is I'll be hungry by 4-5pm, salads as much as I enjoy them never seem to keep me full longer than 3 hours after. Toby.
 
I am also quite hungry by 4-5pm, but its ok coz din dins is not far off......:D
 
Today we were picking up afriend from Leeds/Bradford airport so the wife and I had lunch at a fish & chip restaurant called Murgatroyd's near to the airport. What did I choose? Fried haddock and chips with mushy peas and tea to drink - bread and butter also came with the meal but I didn't touch any of that.

Not a wise choice I thought and I'm sure that many will agree!

My results? A quite amazing as far as I am concerned:

- 5.3 before eating
- 6.0 one hour after finishing eating
- 5.4 two hours after finishing eating

I really do seem to be getting some truly unexpected and remarkable results these days.

John

There really good numbers John for such a high carb meal, I find with fish and chips that my bg is great 1 & 2 hours after, but starts to rise 3-4 hours later, so I split my insulin dose accordingly to balance things out. I see your type 2 so this isn't applicable regarding insulin, but do you not find that your bg spikes some time later in the day after a high carb, high fat meal? Toby.

Hi Toby,

I've carried out lots and lots of very intensive testing at all sorts of times from every 15 minutes after a meal to every hour in the day. However, I've never found that any of my readings start to go up again after they've come down. In fact, I have very rarely ever tested and found that any reading to be higher than my one hour after finishing eating reading - maybe the odd 75 or 90 minutes after reading.

The only thing that I ever see is when I get a rare higher than usual 'on rising' fasting level I sometimes think that it might have been because of something that I ate the night before - e.g. a late restaurant meal.

I'm absolutely certain that Type 1s are very different to Type 2s. What's more I seem to be quite a lot different to many other Type 2s that I communicate with.

I was very surprised to get the readings that I did today. My numbers just seem to get better and better - I can't even imagine how much better my blood glucose readings might become.

Best wishes - John
 
John (wallycorker) good news that your control is getting better and long may it continue!🙂 Toby.
 
Today I had a wholemeal roll with a fried egg and quorn sausage & a bit of tomato sauce. Running out of food! haha.
