Your diet looks pretty good to me. FBG is excellent.
It would probably be to your benefit to take a few more BG readings to see the effect of things like a scone or a pear. It would either let you know which foods to avoid at the moment, or give you peace of mind.

You are doing very well.

FBG 10.2

Breakfast: Belvita soft bake biscuit thingy with a cup of coffee

Lunch: Was starving, so went to Tesco and got pasta salad with tomato and cheese, fridge raiders and latte. Ate all of that!

Dinner: Wanted to eat everything in sight again, even after a lamb chop and Mediterranean veg dinner. Went out for a walk and bought a box of teacakes. Ate them all. Not my proudest moment, but hey ho.

Had a terrible headache all day, drank lots of water and took painkillers but nothing helped. I'm thinking maybe it's 'cause of Metformin. Haven't had any other side-effects yet. Anyway, I'm glad today's another day. Not been a piggy as of yet...
