Is that seeds or milk and if seeds how much milk?
Not a lot. Mixed with milk they swell. Say 3/4 of a cupful.
Seeds. Then add about a cup full and a half of milk, you can add more as required. Sorry it’s a bit vague but I just do it by eye.Is that seeds or milk and if seeds how much milk?

I am in a comparable situation to you. Living on state pension
Keep it simple, and good luck.
Seeking a dietician is what led me to this forum.Hi, a lot of what you say there is what I’m doing and it does make sense as my readings are not wildly high.
Like you I got my meter through a friendly practice nurse after the doctor refused but the on going problem is that the doctor prescribes not the nurse.
I’ve been to the doctors today to make an appointment and the earliest I can get is just over three weeks away so I’ve had to go with that. At the end of the day I need a prescription for test strips and a visit to a dietician.
Thanks for your input.
I bought some Chia seeds today but they weren’t cheap, question though how much do you need for a breakfast.
Okay I like pastries especially cheese and onion pasties. I’m good with vegetables but have to eat very small quantities of some like cabbage and sprouts due to the iron content.
Salad I can eat but it’s a once a month thing, that said I like onion of all kinds cut up and mixed with tinned tuna.
Beef I like but again iron content is a problem, corned beef I’m unsure about, pork is fine but not chicken, I cannot stand it.
Cheese I love as I do deli meats, cannot stand anything with garlic though.
Chinese and Indian food I like but stopped those a while ago.
Sausage I can take or leave, I prefer beef but again iron content. Going to try some for breakfast perhaps with tinned tomato.
Eggs are okay but not all the time. Fruit I cannot have which is fortunate as I don’t like it.
Pasta not a great lover of it. Fish is not a favourite, tinned tuna or salmon being the best. Sardines on toast are okay but I know the bread has to go. Fish from the chippy I like.
My breakfast cereal was my favourite meal of the day and now that’s gone as has cheese on toast as a snack.
Basically I could go into a supermarket to find a dinner and come out with nothing.
