Looking for some inspiration

I make egg muffins which are similar to frittata but more "portable".
Basically, beat up some eggs in a jug. Add veggies, ham, cheese, etc. Pour into muffin cases. Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
You can eat them straight out of the oven, cold or reheat them for 30 seconds in a microwave over the next few days.

@kaylz91, as I said to someone else earlier in the week. Choose one thing that you fancy and give it a go. Baby steps. It may work it might not. Put it down to experience and move on and choose something else.

I’m sorry, I have no idea what those other issues are and I hope you are having medical help and support to overcome them.
Your obvious problems to me, are with worrying over the levels going haywire. (I am lucky, I don’t worry about this and take each day as it comes and start afresh) This is also a mental health issue, that me and others suggesting eating this that and the other is not going to help with. Until these are addressed it is unlikely that you will feel happy increasing variety in your diet. I wish you all the best.

Whats bothering you about adjusting how much insulin you take? Dont be limited to certain foods ...eat what u want ...in moderation of course ...youll soon get used to working out how much to inject. ..dont let it control you ,

Right, I was fine with eating up until about the end of January 2017, in December 2016 I was diagnosed with DMO a month after the diabetes diagnosis, this was absolutely shattering and I've gone through my fair share of injections to have it treated, I mentioned it somewhere and got replies saying it was all my own fault cause I'd been eating carbs, cue fear of food! I waited over a year for a psychologist appointment but have unfortunately had to turn them down on continued sessions as I cant commit to the 6 hour round trip every fortnight, that was not an easy decision to make but it had to be done, I WILL get there on my own, its just going to take time, so please in the meantime be gentle with me xx

Showing my ignorance here, what is DMO?
Re criticism of eating carbs. Those people have their own issues. Ignore them. (Easier said than done but try). As I said earlier, baby steps. One soldier with a boiled egg etc.

As I mentioned I eat bread, porridge, potatoes etc its just increasing the amount of food that I eat that worries me, DMO is diabetic macular oedema xx
