Easiest breakfasts (cereal) & easy family tea like quiche, pies, pasta & Pizza are a disaster for my BGs. So I’m starting to have eggs for breakfast with salad (lettuce, tomatoes) Ham, cheese, deli sliced beef or chicken, tinned mackerel or sardines with more salad (carrots, celery, beetroot-by the way I heard on Radio4 science programme testerday that beetroot is SERIOUSLY good for the heart) plus fruit & plain low fat yoghurt. So far lots of variety but of course that’s an ideal day. It means I can be a bit more flexible in the evening when I tend to have more time anyway. So we have more meals like salmon, roasts, chops & veg & a few salad potatoes. Maybe a risk a crumble Carbs like toast, crumpets& everything in the cake shop are a treat. Berries and low fat cream make a really satisfying pudding. Well that’s my current plan of campaign. I’m a newbie T1 (15 months. I recently did the DAFNE course and their message is essentially you CAN eat anything but you MUST calculate your QA insulin. That’s the hard part for me So treating carbs as a treat is my way forward.</p></blockquote><p></p>
