Have just come home from my first post-diagnosis weekend away. I was really worried about managing while camping, but it worked out fine. When I say camping, I mean I sleep in the back of my half converted transit and cook outside on a one ring camping stove. Just in case anyone's interested, the meals went as follows:
First evening: Barbecued burgers with cheese and salad (I did put it all in a pita bread, which is something I wouldn't usually eat).
Breakfast: Egg and bacon.
Lunch: Almond bread thickly spread with Boursin, and cucumber
Second evening: Chicken and spinach curry I'd cooked and frozen in advance - defrosted and ready to cook by the time we wanted it. (My friend had rice with it.)
Breakfast: Gorgeous omelette made with eggs, rest of Boursin, rest of bacon, rest of herby salad leaves and slices of emmental
Lunch: Almond bread, cheese, salad.
Many many cups of tea all the time.
That was it, came home then. I did have quite a bit of red wine - I don't usually drink at all so that was fun. I didn't test while I was away, so don't know really what happened to my BG, but I tested when I got home this evening and it was 5.3. I notice that if I go really wrong, my BG stays higher than usual for me for a couple of days so take this as a good sign.
Could do with working out some non-cheese based camping food but think I did OK for a beginner!
