It is my first apt. with my Diabeties Nurse today. I do hope she is in sympathy with the thinking I find on here rather than the 'healthy plate' which got me into this trouble in the first place. If I'd have known then what I know know and all that! Fingers crossed! I am finding all of you guys...

Before eating I am in the low 5's and have had a couple of 4's! I am really just eating meat, fish, vegetables and dairy! I'm using cauliflower rice and courgette pasta, or just lots of veg with meals. Salads for lunch with cheese, cold meat. An occasional half one of the low carb lidl rolls...

Yummy sounds delicious! Unfortunately I couldn't manage that now I am taking my blood sugars, I would be flying, but before I would have enjoyed it all!
