Type 2 - a few questions, for starters...

Don't be tempted by Sainsburys sugar free marshmallows! They're lovely but still contain calories
 
Ooooh, Gappy, I didn't know they did them ........ off back to Sainsbury's now :lol:

My daily food plan it usually something I can just grab and make quickly, I'm not a cook and I don't like spending time in my kitchen so anything made fast and can be eaten with a spoon is good for me lol. I don't eat veg as I really really don't like it but I do eat a lot of fruit.

So breakfast is usually an Oats so Simple Original and a cup of tea or infusion (blackberry and nettle is nice)

Lunch, a piece of meat left over from last night's evening meal, plus a lot of fruit chopped up on the side. If I'm feeling particularly hungry I might add a jacket potato (well nuked in microwave), or a couple of ryvita with low fat cheese triangles mushed on. Followed by a low fat yogurt (mullerlight usually).

Evening meal is generally some meat which has been cooked in the oven (wrapped in foil) and some fruit and potato or boiled rice. Followed by homemade sorbet ice-cream which is just fruit and yogurt put in the ice-cream maker for the time it takes to eat my food. I might have a few nuts if I feel like an extra little corner needs filling up. My other staple for evening meal is a jar of passata in the slow cooker with some spices and mince or chopped meat with the potatoes or rice added in and left all day to cook.

My blood test showed for the last three months my result was 5.3 so I'm happy with that. My own testing shows that the second I eat any processed sugar, a hi-fi bar or chocolate or sweets, cake or even healthy seeming grab and go foods my BG spikes up.
