Hi everybody. I'm struggling with my diabetes at the mo and need some support and suggetions.
For the past few weeks I have been forgetting to take my night time Lantus and my readings have been high throughout the day, which is understandable. My problem is that part of my staple diet has always been bread. I have sandwhiches for either dinner or tea, cereal in the morning and since it has been hot I haven't wanted to eat tea, so again I either have a sandwich or toast. I need an alternative please.
Now I know that is a LOT of carbs and I still don't know how much Novorapid to take as it is hit and miss.
I went to see my diabetic specialist today and what a waste of time that was? All he did was ask me how I am coping and more or less said "there there. I'll refer you to the dietician and the diabetic nurse". It felt like he'd patted me on the head like a kid. And he wondered why I was a bit grumpy when I left.
Can anybody suggest recipes for one person because everything I have seen so far are for four portions and I don't like to freeze food.
Thanks for listening
