What I ate today...

by Nicky Moxey

I only tested after supper today, but my meals were pretty good, blood glucose wise, today;

Breakfast: linseed porridge, green tea
Mid-morning snack; green tea, piece of Wensleydale and cranberry cheese, approx. 1oz
Lunch; 4 small pieces of spare-rib in homemade BBQ sauce, plus homemade coleslaw (leftovers from yesterday's supper), coffee
mid-afternoon snack, Ryvita and butter, more tea
Supper; cauli cheese, sauce made with a bit of cornflour, lots of bacon involved too. Had rhubarb sweetened with Splenda and a bit of custard for pudding; glass red wine. Coffee. I hour reading, 4.7 :-)

Too much home-made stuff for me to be bothered to work out nutrient count - I use a planner called Kathleen's Diet which I paid for, but there's a good freebie online at www.fitday.com
I expect I'm somewhere near the 1800-2000 calories and 50-70g carbohydrate that I aim for.

Now I need to go and do some weightlifting - and maybe put in some time on the air-walker. I'm getting a cold, and I haven't felt like taking my ears outside today.

Are you type 2? Because as a type 1, I couldn't ever just check once a day.

Olivia, yes, I am a T2. But the reason I'm only testing occasionally now is that when I was diagnosed, I did the full FBG, pre, and post x2+ routine until I knew the profile of every food and meal I regularly ate. Nowadays, I check the known occasionally to make sure I'm still in the same place progression wise, and only test in full with new meals or exercise patterns.

Yeah, too much home-made stuff for me to be bothered to work out nutrient count!
