[QUOTE="windy2k14, post: 1083173, member: 147363"] Sound like me - beginner. had problems recently while had the bad cold going round that sent my BG levels crazy and asked for advice. Was told not to have cereal in the mornings as that sent sugar levels even higher. started having grilled bacon, omlette (sometimes with a little cheese), Mushrooms and tomato for breakfast - sometimes add sausage. If I have bread for lunch (which I now make my own) its always thin and never more than 2 small slices but careful what you put on. Dinner basically normal meal but if have potato then no bigger than an egg, plenty of veg (which I always steam). Careful what meat you have, sausages have carb so limit them if possible, obviously pies are high carb. I find if I want pie I will cook up some mince, veg and gravy type sauce which I add herbs and spices. I find this tends to keep my BG in limits and can always tell when I done wrong. If I snack its usually a small banana or fruit but careful of the carbs and sugar again. If I want a change I have raw sugar snap peas or mangetout (I enjoy most things like that raw as its good and crunchy and replaces the desire for crisps) hope that helps [/QUOTE]
