That looks much lower carb than yesterday. I hope your meter rewards you with a good reading :)
 
Breakfast scrambled egg
Lunch tuna salad
Dinner chicken, sliver of posh Wensleydale ( yummy)
Not hungry - sitting for 7 hrs looking at plastic slices of chicken and Cornish pasties has that effect on you. Perhaps that what DESMOND is about?
 
Breakfast: Courgette frittata (stirred a teaspoon of harissa into the eggs to inject some heat) with a grilled tomato and some buttered mushrooms.
Lunch: Big mixed salad with a couple of mackerel fillets dressed with olive oil and balsamic.
Dinner: Swordfish with puttanesca sauce, runner beans, a little boiled new potato and a glass of dry white wine.
 
Breakfast was my usual greek yoghurt and berries with sprinkle of nutty muesli. Then we went out as a family and my usual chicken salad was not to be ..bread roll and sausage. ..half a pizza and hot chocolate during the day. Tea was chicken pie and then an apple turn over. I don't understand how I am so disciplined most of the time then boooom carb fest
I wonder if its to do with my hormones.

LOL Was that your Desmond course? Nightmare.
 
Indeed it was. I now know that cheese and butter are the spawn of Satan and should be eaten less frequently than a Cornish pasty and a Bakewell tart.

It's because carbs are sooo addictive. Once you had the roll and sausage you were on the slippery slope. You'll be fine tomorrow :angelic:

@badkat, I've always wanted to go juicing for my current diet but scared of doing so :) the last time I did (I wasn't diagnosed yet) kale, cucumber, pineapple I felt so sleepy/ nearly blacked out after drinking...so I eat them whole instead...What was your blood sugar like?

While making this soup I kept thinking is was boring. At the end I added the dash of vinegar and it completely transformed it. Who knew? Very tasty soup. Served with a splash of cream for luck. Will freeze the rest in portions. This sudden cold weather has brought out my squirrelling instinct.

Your soup sounds perfect for the cold weather :) yum...
 
How much insulin do you low carbs take when your having just scrambled eggs or fried eggs for breakfast or makeral, as my blood sugars raise whrn I eat just protein and the nutritionist was telling me not to take insulin for protein. I just end up correcting an hour aft ive eaten.
thanks in advance, Lizzie x

I need insulin just because I got out of bed (about 3 units) but I don't eat eggs for breakfast so couldn't say.

If I have scrambled eggs for lunch, which I make with cream and butter, then I will need 2 units novorapid but delayed by a couple of hours. If I eat fried eggs and bacon for lunch then I don't need to bolus. I'm starting to wonder if it's a dairy issue for me.
