It does get really hard at times. When you've tested out your meals a few times and found what is ok for you do you write them down? That way you'll always have a record of what you can eat without thinking too much about it. If you can keep a store cupboard of ingredients that will make some of these foods quickly that can help too. If you like frittata they are quick and easy to make .... most of the ingredients I use are in the freezer (frozen veggies) eggs and cheese always in the fridge..... omelettes are quick and easy to make too - cheese and mushroom for example... If you bake try some of the low carb recipes out @Brunneria posted a lovely cake recipe and a VERY quick chia seed chocolate pudding...

Hope this helps somewhat and when you are feeling down you can chat away to us - we understand...

Take care and I hope your day gets better - and don't forget the morning bs is always the hardest to get any sort of control over

See that another think that I don't understand about this diabetic malarkey if I get a reading under 4 I have the shakes and can't concentrate , I've always been like this when hungry ...well since my teens and certainly not diabetic ..maybe I just have a panicky body no food for a few hrs and my hands shake lol :confused:

You feel shakey and can't concentrate because you are hypoing, you need to familiarise yourself with these feelings and nip them in the bud quick! You may need to eat more often, or - I can't remember if you are on meds - have your medication adjusted
 
10.3 this sunny morning. Started on 6 units of insulatard in a morning yesterday and go back to diabetic clinic in 6 weeks:rolleyes:. Off to doctors this morning to get chest checked now I am back on normal long term antibiotics. I will also get my full blood count test results.:)
 
6.0 a little high for me, but have had little sleep the last 2 days so hopefully things will get in line once I can get more than 2 hours sleep per night.

Have a beautiful day everyone.
