[QUOTE="Honeyend, post: 1896692, member: 430576"] When I am at work I live out of my car. I use superstore loos, less to tempt you than Costa and if you need a coffee most now have coffee machines. I never know when I will have time to eat, so what I do not eat I have for supper when I get home. Not perfect but that's shift work. I have a small cool bag stuffed with nibbles on the front seat, like cheese and 85% dark chocolate, boiled eggs and pot of chopped salad, onions cucumber,peppers and a few tomatoes, plain yoghurt with a few blueberries. A pull ring tin of tuna or some ham or chicken to add to the salad. If you buy large tubs of yoghurt like Liberte you get a free plastic tub to reuse A treat is biltong but you have to check what its flavoured with, it takes ages to chew. I think if you know you are not going to run out of food you eat less and you are never really hungry. I would ditch the bread completely, if your BS goes up you will feel tired. What you have to remember is you are just at the start, you will become the expert on you. People can give you advice but its up to you to find what works for you, there is no one size fits all. Unfortunately there seems to be no readily available source of carb content of foods apart from apps like Myfitnesspal but they are useful for tracking what you eat and I would suggest downloading one onto your phone to help you monitor how you are doing and it keeps a log so you could look back on what makes you feel not so good on certain days. You pee more when you have a high BS, your body is trying to get rid of it. You need fluid you to get it out so actually drinking is a way of clearing the excess sugar so unless you eat anything to raise your BS again you should feel better and eventually pee less. I know you work long hours but a relatively small amount of time now getting your BS lower will mean you are less likely to have the complications associated with diabetes, which is the long game.
