Type 2s: What have you eaten today?

I think being on holiday is quite tricky.
Pre breakfast 5.3
Mushroom and egg omelette with a spoon of psyllium whisked in.
Post breakfast of 5.4

Lunch - Nando's - chicken and baked sweet potato with some sort of dip

Pre dinner 6.1
Steak with pepper sauce and broccoli - 2 glasses of merlot and a scotch
Post dinner 6.2


Think I might start testing more frequently. Wonder if that sweet potato is just another veg to avoid?
 
I am trying to flatten my BG's.... I tend to eat three times and no snacks at all.. which means when I get to 19:00 I tend to be lowish..
06:15 5.0
B: 100g yog, pecans and 2 strawberries
08:45 6.1
10:50 5.4
11:00 100g yog and pecans.
13:00 5.5
L: Celery, olives, feta, cold chicken and sauerkraut followed by 30 mins active walk.
15:30 5.7
19:00 5.1
D: 19:30 pork wrapped in smoked ham fried, sauerkraut, spinach and garlic, 1 chocolate and water
20:30 6.3
21:30 6.2

Today was a sachet of plain porridge. 7.9 before and 7.3 2 hours later! Might try some fruit with it. Any suggestions?

Berries seem to be considered the best but watch quantities and fresh or frozen not dried fruit...
 
Today so far.....
Breakfast....scrambled eggs and coffee
Lunch......so fed up of salad type meals so today I had a Lidl High Protein roll with cheese and onion...waiting to see the numbers after it. I know that having a sandwich for lunch is far more ''normal'' and less fussing about so hope they come in okay for me .........UPDATE....BG went from 5.2 to 6.2 after 2 hours.....happy with that
Dinner...Will be....3 high meat sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes...all cooked in butter and 1/2 Lidl roll
raspberries and low sugar jelly
