So far today a bowl of porridge at 9 a.m with cinnamon coconut oil and honey.
It's now nearly 6 p.m and I'm about to have a bowel of ham bacon and mixed bean soup.

I felt dreadful dizzy head ache got warm. I was ok for a bit about an hour then it started again and I was sick I feel ok again and my sugar has gone down from 15.5 to 4. I will not be doing this again :( what's people's thoughts please :)

Share what you've eaten today with the rest of the DCUK community and maybe steal a few ideas for yourself!

Low carb contributions are of course welcomed, but please keep in mind that this is not the low carb diet section, and debates about diet should be kept out of this thread. Happy posting! ;)
I had oats for breakfast with nuts and blueberries. Lunch was half a bowl of brown rice with fenugreek leaves and dhals (which made sugar reading go to 10.9 post prandial) and for dinner mozzarella balls with cherry tomatoes. Went for a walk and checked, it's 3.9! (Still haven't taken after dinner medicine).
