.................. When I read of your carb-fests it concerns me, on that basis.
I take my hat off to those brave enough to push the envelope further than I have. Thus far, I have rarely been in a situation where could not eat, and I have spent most of my diagnosed life in third world countries, including on dive boats, and socialising with carb-loving Americans. That you find yourself "forced" to eat pot noodle or pasties when, by your own example, out diving is merely a lack of consideration for your own well-being. .....................
To re dress the balance somewhat.
Yes, I do eat pot noodles, and other types of food when I have to.
However, I've always posted what I've had on other days.
Today, apart from the ryvita at beakfast, lunch was two beef (no fillers) burgers, with mushrooms, shallots, tomato, fried in a small amount of rice bran oil.
I've been working, carpet laying and grouting the kitchen until 9pm, so dinner was (again stir fry, cabbage, leek, pepper, shallot, chorizo sausage, and a couple of spoonfuls of hot sauce, (2.4g carbs), and a can of Coors light.
The point I've always made, is if I don't eat carbs, I lose my ability to cope with them entirely.
So I'm fine eating them sensibly.
I wouldn't consider today a carb fest.
Possibly others fixate on the odd pot noodle, to the detriment and ignorance of my normal diet, and they may regard a structured approach to coming off my meds as a bad thing, but I don't.
I also fully intend to carry out a GTT, and see what happens.
edit - I will also confess I typed that while just thinking of a glass of red wine to follow.
