[QUOTE="vicky_l, post: 371140, member: 64186"] Hi unhappy completely understand the tiredness and shift battle with the no energy or desire to cook so dont cook I have limited ability to cook to so a few tips for meals that dont need to be cooked and wont make you ill (my Blood glucose testing have drops from 16s to 6s and 7s in 3 months and my HbA1c has gone from 62 to 55 in the same time) so yogurt seeds and berries (be careful not to overdo each tho this one can affect blood glucose in some people) buy bags of salad ready made or salad bowls add some tinned fish, cheese, ham or cooked meats even pepperami lots of fruit and vegetable perfect and can eat most of them raw (even ones think are cooked veg only such as cauliflower, mushrooms, beetroot, peas) try to eat three times a day I know shifts are hard to make it work so I use to set an alarm (different times at night to day of course but three times a day an alarm would go off telling me to eat something) it doesnt have to be large half a dozen brazil nuts and a piece of fruit will do that will help regulate your blood sugars are you drinking enough water ?? check it out A typical day for me is (and am losing weight then I need to) breakfast (the meal I cook most days) 2 -3 rashers of bacon 2 eggs 4-6 mushrooms or small pot natural yogurt full fat 2-3 tbs seeds like sunflower or pumpkin and some berries Lunch tinned fish and dressing or mayo full fat again mixed salad usually spinach, celery and carrot or beetroot but I vary the leaves Dinner cooked meat packet of 100 - 200g raw veggies such as cauliflower and peas (or cooked if feel like cooking) Snacks if you can celery and pate cheese and apple nuts pepperami try it for a month help your body fight back without medication My gp wanted me on metformin too but as I have seen the damage to my sister I wont take it fortunately my gp listened and every three months after my HbA1c test we revisit results and because she is seeing the change in diet is affecting results I have been allowed to continue without medication bottom line is it is your body your health and your life it is easy to do a one fits all treatment plan but as with diets not everyone takes or responds well to the same diet else the diet industry wouldnt be multi billion industry Hope that helps a little for me bread potatoes rice etc cause my blood glucose to rise (thats what was causing my ones over 9) I only get readings between 5 and 8.7 now) xoxox [/QUOTE]
