Type 2s: What have you eaten today?

Yesterday strayed marginally off the keto! Asterisks denote non-keto ingredients. Not intending to make a habit of it, but.....

Brunch: small Greek yoghurt and a piece of cheese.

Dinner: slow-roasted oxtail in Guinness* with Brussels sprouts and cauliflower, 2 roast sweet chestnuts* leeks for onion flavour, teaspoon of English mustard* while non-diabetic spouse added pearl barley and carrots to his portion. My but that was good! And a glass of red wine.

I've made lumpy soup with the leftovers (apart from carrots and all but a few grains of pearl barley) and that's today's brunch. Dinner will be pork chop with sprouts and cauliflower. No wine for the next few days as I like to take a break from it between bottles. And a bottle lasts me 5 days.
 
Bowl of porridge
Cup of decaf tea

Curry made with red pepper , one chilli pepper, onion and some curry powder , with 50g brown rice ,
Small natural yogurt with 4 small grapes

Will have chicken later with broccoli and turnip
 
Espresso, another espresso, a strong americano, 60g pot of cashews and a small banana mid morning.
bought a meal deal for lunch but options were limited so ended up with a chicken, bacon and lettuce sandwich, two hard boiled eggs and a bottle of water. Not ideal as I tend to avoid sandwiches these days unless I have low carb bread.
Tested before eating (2pm) and it was a bit low at 3.7.
After 60 mins, 4.4.
After 90 mins 4.9.
Got stuck in a meeting so next test was 180 mins and 5.8.
Then at 210 mins 5.6.
Do people have the occasional "weird day" or can someone's insulin sensitivity change after they'd lost a fair bit of weight (31kg in my case?)
 
Are you predibetic? If so, how can you eat all those things: pasta, toast, jam?
 
4 egg omelette with 5 small tomatoes and small onion , @ 5.9 before ,will update in 2 hours. , 5.4 two hours later
