Hi @cdpm. I can't handle the carbs in potatoes, unfortunately.
Do you have the space to grow your own vegetables? Some are easy in pots or in the ground.

We have balcony space but are not permitted to as renters.

Mashed potatoes with boiled eggs and paprika and tiny bit of cheddar and an onion all mixed then pureed and heated. O and the mayo.

Hi cdpm. Is there anybody nearby with a small plot of land next to their home?

Hi @cdpm. I'm afraid mashed potatoes would send my BG readings through the roof.

If I were you, I'd give canned tuna in olive oil a go. Fresh tuna has a meaty texture, but tinned tuna is softer and doesn't need a lot of chewing. Make sure it's not canned in tomato sauce and your BG numbers should be fine. You may not take to the flavour straight away, If so, try adding some mayo.

I know mashed potatoes would send my BG readings through the roof.
