[QUOTE="granny3boys, post: 296857, member: 46676"] Hi, I hope you can answer some questions before I go and get a telling off from the practice nurse tomorrow..... Typical day: Start work at 7am: breakfast at 6.15am: Porridge with 8 raspberries (very bad but I rarely have a drink with my breakfast). Teabreak 9.30am: some fruit (a few cherries, a nectarine or a peach) Glass of water. Lunch 11.30 am: Fruit again: some more cherries, a few strawberries, a few raspberries with a 15 ml of fromaige frais or cremfraiche (sp?) and 1/2 sq grated 90% plain chocolate on the top for a treat! Glass of water NO MEAL AS I GO HOME AT 2.30 AND HAVE AN EARLY TEA AT 5PM. (see 8am start) Start work 8am: Breakfast at 7.15am: Porridge & 8 rasps. Teabreak 9.45: Fruit (could be a mixture of above at teabreak or a banana and a nectarine) Glass of water Lunch 1.30pm: Salad: some kind of oily fish (small piece of hot smoked salmon or peppered mackeral) 3 small tomatoes, cucumber, mixed leaves (rocket and pea shoots if possible) and NO dressing. Then I will have some more fruit, as tea break. MAIN EVENING MEAL AROUND 6PM - could be anything from grilled veg (peppers, mushrooms, boiled green beans, asparagus, mange tout)with fish (either prawns, fresh tuna, grilled or boiled trout) with wholegrain rice or red rice. Or 2 small new tatties boiled (potatoes to posh folk, tatties in Scotland!). Or a grilled chop (very small lamb chop) venison from the freezer or chicken with tatties and lots of veg. Off work: Breakfast from 8.30 - 10am as above Lunch: Maybe a bowl of soup or a light meal . Evening meal. As above. My question is (finally!) [b]am I eating too much fruit[/b]? I know that I have been bad eating time this last while as I had a cancer scare (got the all clear eventually) and had been comfort eating( toast and jam(homemade greengage jam to die for!), cakes, fried egg and mushrooms (wonderful!) chicken korma (my son-in-law makes a fantastic one!), puddings in a cafe etc. But hopefully I'm back on track again. Also I'd stopped testing my sugar levels as the practice nurse advised..... so how the h*ll can I tell what I should or should not be eating???? Have started to test again as from today. I can't get to the local diabetic group as it always seems to meet on the night I'm on a late shift (forgot to put that in - I start at 2.30 and work to 10pm. So again have fruit at 5pm and on my teabreak around 7pm). A cooked meal at lunchtime around 1.30pm. If I shouldn't be eating all that fruit, what can I eat? [/QUOTE]
