Do you check your blood glucose?I drink plenty of water through out the day but I still feel dehydrated all the time should I be be worried about it ?
Can you tell us what levels you are seeing and when you take them in relation to eating please?Check glucose about 6 times a day .
Are you eating enough? This sounds like very little food to me.Typical days food it varies every day I try to keep it interesting as I can
9.00 am Breakfast small bowl of oats with low fat milk.
10.00-11.00 cycle indoor bike
Lunch 12.00 salad
3.00 pm small hand full of mixed berries
4.00-5-00 exercise brisk walking
6.00pm dinner 1 piece of chicken small handful of cabbage, 1carrot, two small tomatoes.

Cut the carbs (like the oats), and up the fats. There's only 3 macro nutrients and you're eliminating the wrong one, fats are fine! You have to have something to run on, after all. No need to go hungry. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/blog-entry/the-nutritional-thingy.2330/ might help you some. And do test around your meals. Before you start and 2 hours after the first bite. You're aiming for a rise of no more than 2.0 mmol/l or less. It'll let you know what agrees with you, and what doesn't. Right now, I'd say, add in some eggs, full fat greek yoghurt, full fat cheeses , more meat/poultry/fish etc, to bulk up your meals. You're starving yourself of vital nutrients, you must be feeling exhausted...I was thinking that I need to eat more too .
Bacon and eggs, omelette with left over vegetables from the night before and some cheese.Re thinking my diet making a lot of changes to it . I need different ideas for lunch and breakfast if any one can help much appricated.
But your breakfast is a bit of a disaster, you know - solid starch with a sugary liquid poured on top - it would be far better to start the day with a proper meal (excuse my being straight with you, but it really could make a difference to the rest of your life)Re thinking my diet making a lot of changes to it .
