Type 2s: What have you eaten today?

Evening all

Yesterday:

B: Two poached eggs and scallops, asparagus spears smothered with butter, all seasoned with a good grinding of black pepper.
Water to swallow tablet.
Espresso.

L: Aperitif: dry white wine.
Tuna steaks rolled in finely chopped celery and oregano, baked with sweet red peppers and aubergines, moistened with double cream and topped with extra mature Cheddar cheese.
Steamed French beans and mangetout with a knob of butter..
Water to drink.
Skipped pud.
Four squares, Montezuma's Absolute Black 100% cocoa chocolate.

The rest of the cottage cheese

So on to the strict vegetarian diet now. Not vegan but at least no animal foods- mainly no cholesterol. If I accidentally ate animal broth put in soup I won't freak because I already have so many food issues.

Indeed you would @ChrisT2. A couple of eggs cooked any way you like them with bacon (assuming you eat meat) plus mushrooms and a tomato perhaps, makes a nourishing start to the day.

Oats and breakfast cereals OTOH are carbohydrate-heavy, so not a good choice for diabetics.

First time having white bread (garlic bread) and chicken soup since getting diagnosed just over 2 months ago..

Actually surprised I only spiked to around 9.5 and jumped into my evening cycling/weights for a workout to drop it down fast.

Breakfast was scrambled eggs, lunch a few mixed nuts.

Evening @_Steve_ I never tire of scrambled eggs and love nuts.

We're all different. Some of us get on fine with an occasional treat like garlic bread every once in a while. Unfortunately, bread sends my BG readings soaring, so I take the easy route and avoid bread altogether.
