pre meal level and post meal level

Barley is pretty high in carbs and they are probably rapidly absorbed ones.
If yyou are hungry, try adding a bit more fat and greens.

Well done on cutting down on the carbs.
You will feel hungry initially but after a few days when your body has got used to the lower carb level that will start to pass. I now don't get hungry very often, it is usually a surprise to hear my tummy rumbling nowadays!!

When I do mince I fry a few sliced mushrooms and chopped courgette chunks in a bit of butter or margarine, sometimes with a bit of onion or peppers too. This gives you something to eat as an alternative to rice / pasta / potatoes etc. Celariac chunks work well like this too. Failing that try a few chunks of cauliflower.

Your pre-meal level of 11 is good, you are getting there. :clap:

Did you have a Doctor's appointment this morning? If so how did that go?

Best wishes
