[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 1863132, member: 401801"] You really need to start looking after yourself. As you're on insulin your boss has to accomodate you, so speak up! It's not an ingrown toenail, it's a life-or-death condition. Passing out regularly should've dricen that point home for them. And honestly, your food really is a problem... Cereal, really? Eggs, bacon and such keep you going for longer without spiking your blood. I just had a look at the KFC UK menu and there's almost nothing there that doesn't cause a spike. (Meals with over 300 grams of carbs?! It seems weird to me that a business that is so well-equipped to cater to the keto-eaters, coats absolutely everything in carbs!) Plain salad, maaaybe. Though the corn and dressing aren't quite wonderful either. Any chance you can throw something together yourself, in the kitchen? Does all the chicken come in breaded, or is a "nude" fries breast an option? Salad, tomatoes, couple of wings, coleslaw? Best thing to do is pack your own lunch from home, though. Maybe get a different job to avoid temptation? If it has to be fast food, go to a BK or McD's... All those beefburgers are instantly low carb/keto, if you ditch the bread, and maybe the ketchup. ;) Far from ideal, as not exactly nutricious, but hey, whatever works. Diabetes doesn't have to rule your life. I didn't know that either, starting out, but turns out, it's a managable condition. But that's the catch; it needs to be actively managed. You can do it. If you can take insulin, you can reduce carbs. Maybe get rid of the jabs entirely. Worth a shot, to lose the shots , no? ;) [/QUOTE]
