First some background:
On the 11th September my weight was 117.8kg
My daily average BG for that week was 9.2mmol/l
Now, three weeks later my weight is 114.4kg
My daily average BG for last week was 6.6mmol/l
I'm testing (probably excessively) using an Aviva Accu Chek mobile, and logging on my phone using the MySugr app.
The app reports an estimated HbA1c of 44.4 mol/mol, so that's good (but could be better)
Diet currently consists of about 100g of Roasted Smoked Almonds and Cashews which I graze on throughout the day, combined with maybe half a dozen BabyBel cheeses and three or four skinny Cabannosi sausages.
In the evening I will have a chunk of meat (usually pork or chicken) with Broccoli/cauliflower/Red Cabbage.
All washed down with copious amounts of coffee made with LactoFree milk (full fat, less than 1g carb per mug)
I'd be the first to admit it's not the most exciting diet, and right now I'd sell my daughters kitten for a bowl of Tortellini or a decent Ham and Cheese sandwich, but strangely I'm not finding it too hard to stick to.
My biggest concern is the amount of Fibre I'm eating - or not. I need to find to find a way of increasing it without sending the carbs up.
Time for some more internet scouring methinks.
