Type 2s: What have you eaten today?

[LivingLightly]

I prefer this thread so I will try hard to just list my food eaten.

Righto @cdpm.

It doesn't have to be one or the other of course. You can contribute to both threads if you wish.

Today will be homemade slow cooker meatballs. Containing ground Italian sausage I rolled into a meatball shape then put a can of pasta sauce in after I dumped the grease a few times.

Sounds tasty @cdpm. Fingers crossed it settles.

Looking forward to trying to make my first home-made jerky today.
I'm generally trying to broaden my meat-cooking and eating horizons; did my first brisket and pulled pork recently, so Jerky is next..

I tend to rotate the same tried and tested, diabetic-friendly meals quite a bit @Chris24Main.

Although my pool of recipes changes through the year as and when new ingredients come into season, there is quite a lot of repetition with just the occasional experiment every now and then.

Keeping our blood glucose levels in check is a daily challenge @Chris24Main.

I'm always on the lookout for new, mouthwatering recipes and this forum provides lots of inspiration. It's important to enjoy our low-carb lifestyle, otherwise we'd never stick to it, would we?

I'm so sorry @cdpm. Do make sure you take plenty of fluids on board. You can't beat water out of the tap, but almost any sugar-free beverage will do.

I'm sorry @cdpm. Might be an idea to play safe and keep to cottage cheese, if available, until your gums heal.
It's diabetic-friendly, very nutritious and doesn't cause you gastric distress.
