Ruth B · Sep 4, 2014

I'm afraid some of my answers will fall outside the box so to speak.

Female
36 -45
Over 4 years
Type 2

Breakfast, Yes,
Fruit and grain bars, or 1 slice cheese on toast on white bread (I prefer the taste and it effects me the same as wholemeal, the quantity is what matters)
Lunch, Ham or Cheese Salad, clementine
Dinner, Meat, veg and new potatoes, salmon, rice and stir fry veg.

I know what to eat as a diabetic, meat, fish, veg, dairy products, and eggs. Potatoes, pasta, rice, and bread in small amounts

I consider my diet nutritional and healthy and meets the requirements of a diabetic diet

I do not consider that any food should be avoided totally, but quantities must be regulated to prevent BS spikes. Any thing high in carbs should be considered carefully and viewed as part of the whole meal. A battered potato wedge in a burger bun would not be a suitable meal for a diabetic.

I like both sweet and savoury food.

I like fresh meat, fruit and veg (fruit and veg straight out of the garden when possible)

I do snack, both healthy and unhealthy, a few berries, a piece or two of dark chocolate or a bag of hula hoops (at 15g carbs, surprisingly low) again it is the quantity that matters.

I like some spicy food, It depends on the spices involved.

Since getting my meter, my control over my diabetes is growing rapidly it is rare for my BS to be over 8 after a meal now.

3 suggested dishes
Chinese style stir fry, plenty of meat and veg, Chinese spices, no pre made sauce (high in sugar), Small amount of rice optional.

Venison steak, Pork or lamb chop, or Salmon steak, mixed veg, new potatoes tossed in butter and herbs

All day breakfast, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, egg, maybe a slice of toast or a hash brown.

As you can see, I do have some carbs in my diet. My meter dictates what I can eat far more than just cutting out carbs. Hopefully I have managed to cover everything for you.
