[QUOTE="svalentine60, post: 1857508, member: 487702"] Hi, My diet has been terrible up until a few days ago. I would usually have things like egg, bacon, fried bread etc for breakfast. Or scrambled egg on toast. I was constantly (and still am) hungry within 15 mins of eating no matter how much I'd eaten. I told my doctor i was constantly hungry and never felt full. They said sounded like an eating disorder and i should go to a self help group for it. I didn't think it was a disorder of that kind and literally feel that its my body doing it not my mind. But got no help with that. So the above for breakfast usually. Then i would eat on and off during the day. Nothing to me to have half a packet of digestive chocolate biscuits and a cup of tea. Cream cakes which i get an real urge for. Dinner at around 5pm ish if i can last that long and that will always consist of processed foods like, pies, birds eye prepackaged stuff. A lot of things like spaghetti bolognese or chicken tikka home made with poppadoms and nan bread etc. Often take aways. Chip shop or indian. A really poor diet. The more I ate the hungrier i was. I have often gone to the supermarket and bought a huge bar of chocolate or other sweet things. I've basically ignored being diabetic for years. With that has come such fatigue and depression. I guess a typicals days diet up until wednesday last week would be (And this is embarrassing) Sausage, egg, tomato, bread and butter for breakfast or scrambled egg on toast Mid morning would probably find something sweet like biscuits Lunch could be anything from a sandwich or if i'm out macdonalds, burger king etc Dinner at around 5pm which could be spaghetti bolognese, curry, processed pies, birds eye stuff etc Very hungry again by 9pm so would go down and have cheese on toast, sandwich, things like that I would then often wake in the middle of the night hungry and go down and get yet another snack. This week I've eaten differently and it has made a difference in my sugars but not by a huge amount. I actually have been taken my sugars for once and writing down what I've eaten but its hard to stick to and on a low income with a student son in the house its difficult for me to buy separate food for myself. Since posting the other day this is what I've eaten and my sugars. WED 8TH Weight 12st 7 3/4 Sugars 13.2 on waking. No food all day until 5pm. Before eating took sugars which were at 8.2. But then had pizza. THURS 9TH Weight 12st 7 Sugars 11.7 on waking Sugars 11.2 at 1.30pm with no food all day.
