[QUOTE="Robo42, post: 948649, member: 208584"] When I was first diagnosed(10 plus years ago) I tested my sugar levels pre meals & after 2 hours for some weeks making a note of things I ate to get an idea of what foods were OK and what gave a high sugar reading. I found Carbs were bad for me for breakfast, so it’s no bread and a good typical breakfast is a combination of mushrooms, eggs, smoked sausage, smoked salmon. Porridge oats and an oat flake cereal are not too bad on the sugars, no other cereals are low enough in sugar or high enough in oats. Lunch ideally is salad with fish but not always available, so pitta bread or a soy/linseed bread with tuna, ham or sausage. On a not so good day pork pie with coleslaw (today) or bacon, perhaps just soup some days. I have a light lunch with a bigger evening meal. One thing we look for on food ingredients is try to keep to food with 4% sugar or less also low carb and not too much wheat. I am allergic to dairy (cow’s milk) so use soy milk, sunflower spread and goat cheese is ok. Basics for evening meals are basmati rice, whole wheat pasta and sweet potatoes rather than normal potatoes, green veggies often as possible. I like fish, salmon, tuna, sea bass, pasta is often with tuna & a tomato based sauce. I could eat chicken all the time and love a steak usually have with baked sweet potato and coleslaw. There are a range of ready meals which are really good for me: The [I]Kirsty’s[/I] range of healthy and nutritious gluten-free, dairy-free and wheat-free chilled ready meals. [URL='http://www.kirstys.co.uk/'][U]http://www.kirstys.co.uk/[/U][/URL] The odd treats are some ice cream made with coconut milk & not often dark chocolate. Some fruit, not more than 1 per day, apples, pears, peaches, strawberries. I drink decaff tea and coffee. I am pretty good at keeping to all the best things for me, so hopefully when I stray or its not so easy when out or away from home it does not affect too much. Rob [/QUOTE]
