Type 2s: What have you eaten today?

[NewTD2]

Haha!
You are absolutely right. It isn’t the Low Carb thread.
Apologies for interjecting.

I think I’m lost.
I don’t know where I am?
Is this the Chinese Buffet Restaurant?

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 the tastiest low carb Lasagne. It was my own variation of a recipe in the 8 Week Blood Sugar Diet Recipe Book and seriously - it was SO tasty!

For those of you who know me _ I'm having a few days off from spinach

Coffee with double cream for breaky.

Lunch was a can of Sainsbury's carrot and coriander soup (well about 2 thirds of a can) and i tested after 1 hour (5.4) and 2 hours (5.3) so that's something else I'm going to start adding to my good food list. Tinned soup -) this one was 9 carbs per half can.

Dinner was a chicken salad with mayo. Boring but I'm focused on my looming hba1c test and showing my DN how diabetes CAN be put well and truly into remission.

2 Boiled Eggs, plus a Tomato sandwich toasted and a cup of coffee with sweetner.

That seems very little.

Hi Debandez, How are you doing today, looking forward to all it has on offer, I hope!. As for my breakfast, It was just enough as I had just finished work and was about too climbing into bed. So all was well as when I woke up, my BGL's were 6:4 at 18:50 hrs. Now I'm having Dinner and going back to work, again.

Blimey! Busy time for you. Im.netween projects at the moment and enjoying the freedom. I went to have my bloods done today. Asked for everything forum members suggested. I've never been so excited about a Drs appointment! Looking forward to the results. Fingers crossed they reflect all the hard work everyone on here has put in to me that includes you!!!

 

[Stemar]

Hi Debandez,, I only work part time these days, and I enjoy what I do very much. Well I wish you good luck for your results today, as I feel you don't need any luck really, as you've put in the hard yards, and as they say, "No Gain, Without Some Pain," so your on the right path to fulfil that task!!! But all the same Good Luck and Best Wishes, Ok!!!

I now have a question to ask, if you don't mind! Is your Forum Name "Deb and Ez' For Yourself and your Son?

My name believe it or not is an abbreviation of Debra and Eric! Eric being my hubby. Used it forever. I wish I had picked something else now on reflection as it confuses everyone! Is there a way of amending it do you know?

Yes I'm so looking forward to getting my results. Not long now. My appointment is 16rh with DN but I get my results over the phone tomorrow or Monday

Glad you love your job. Me too

Yesterday I reached a weight loss milestone. 40lbs. My final weight loss goal actually so i was very giddy. I always have a small treat when I reach a milestone. But I had a big one yesterday as it coincided with my hba1c etc blood test at the drs. Not got next one for 6 months. So my treat was a piece of (JAWS music would be very apt here!!!) CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE WITH CREAM AND A DOLLOP OF (MUSIC GETS LOUDER!!!) SALTED CARAMEL ICE CREAM. Naughty....but VERY nice. Last night after 2 hours 7.6. And this morning 6.7 which in the bigger scheme of things I think isn't too bad. I expected it to be much worse.

For breakfast I had a cheese omlette (2 eggs)

For lunch as another treat a small bread roll with cheese and onion.

For dinner prior to my naughty dessert I had a roast beef dinner (Just meat and veg).

Happy Friday folks.
