After today’s lunch out I have to admit to not being hungry but more peckish.
An omelette seemed the best bet. Usually have a cheese omelette but decided to try something different...... a corn beef omelette wasn’t as bad as I was expecting.
Bolused for the protein, not exactly a carby meal. May have to give myself a warning for not posting on topic.

Hello again, I lied, I had alpro plain yogurt mixed with vegan protein powder and organic prebiotic powder with a large banana, 25g.
Came home after work, I had a cheese roll, I guessed 30g, a lot of crisps 50g, egg mayo 2g and a banana 20g. Curry is still on the plan though

It's been a while so hi to those who remember me, but if you look in the food posts somewhere there's a good few photos of the food I eat as a T1d for the last 35 years, porridge, 3 eggs 2 whole meal bread daily breakfast, 4.5u Humalog, tin of tuna 2 bread 2 or 3u lunch, chicken curry and brown basmati rice for tea with plenty of veg, 6.5u Humalog and another couple of u for 2 Weetabix for bed, every, single, day, my HBa1c is47, bmi 24.6, BP 116/16 and 79.6kg aged 53 so the proof of the pudding is in the eating so to speak*

But not all carbs are equal, complex ones can digest to match your insulin and simple ones digest before the insulin.

*I don't eat puddings.

In the absence of buses home whilst an accident was being cleared and the absence of any enthusiasm to cook anything when i got home, the Supermarket Cafe provided cheese and mushroom omelette and chips. 50g carbs was the conservative estimate in case I really ended up walking the 3 miles home. With the shopping and the half a repeat prescription.

I think I over estimated. Or my insulin sensitivity is good right now. Just about to have a few more carbs before bed.

Was this your secret stash or was it a kind hearted gift from one of the kids.?
Whichever I’m liking your style.

Just back from an hours walk which bypasses a local chippy. A tray of chips with plenty of salt and vinegar was not to be missed.

Back in the UK now and the suitcases unpacked. On the outward journey the missus had filled 1 case with British foodstuff (fairly typical filipina behaviour it seems) and used the case to bring Pinoy brands back.

So had cake for breakfast today (well it needs to be eaten before it goes stale, right?). Have missed spicy food so we have a home made curry (with rice) for supper so let's see if I get the bolus correct.

Blood sugars a little high at the moment but back to work tomorrow with the boring diet.

Evening lovely people.
A work day albeit a quiet one.
Granola & yogurt.
1 tuna & tomato chutney sandwich on brown bread.
Banana ( post gym )
At this point I arrived home and asked my wonderful OH what dinner was ?
“ It’s a surprise “ she replied.
“Carbs ? “ I enquired
“Yes “ came the reply.
At this point I just pre bolused 8 units.
Dinner was......yesterday’s left over pork, rice, condensed chicken soup, peas, carrots and onions all baked in the oven. I was surprised to say the least. Nonetheless is was delicious but did require a further 6 units.
Finished off with a pudding.....an apple.
