Hi All,
I've been Type 2 for around 3 years now. Generally things have been under control but my level's recently have risen (my own fault) but I'm getting into a rut I think with depression over not having anything nice to eat very often. I'm usually around 5.9-6.1 when waking up.
I found this board by googling about weetabix and read the thread and was OMG!!!. I have 3 weetabix in the morning with warm water, a splash of semi skimmed milk + a bit of canderel.
On a treat day would have beans on toast - my previous breakfast choice till I found out how many g's of sugar are in baked beans
(my fav food).
Now here is the kicker. I don't like eggs/cheese/bacon. I dislike intently brown/wholemeal breads - tbh I prefer cardboard off a box. I'm a very finiky (sp) eater so have some big problems. I thought I was being good on cereal guess not.
So what do people generally have for breakfast. I can't get through till lunch without a decent amount of food tbh.
The other one is evening meal - I'm not a rice person - never have been. I've been for a long time eating veg (cauliflower,brocolli,carrots,peas,sprouts) + boiled pots and then baked fish/chicken etc. Now I read the pots are bad for me but I can't honestly say I would substitute it for me cauliflower.
So what are the alternatives or is it just rice (I see pasta is not recommended either).
I just get the feeling I'm one of these diabetics whose gonna end up living like a rabbit or something. I'm not vegetarian but whilst I'll eat a burger or pie I won't sit down to sunday roast etc (like I say finiky as my mum says).
Cheers All.
