I recently cut out carbs e.g, bread, potato, cereals and adopted LCHF and have already started dropping some weight and seeing better results with my BG tests

Breakfast - bacon, mushrooms (fried in coconut oil), 2x small egg muffin

Lunch - mixed salad leaves, grated cheddar, omelette, mayonnaise

Tested my blood sugar before lunch and it was 5.5...happy with that

Yummy sounds delicious! Unfortunately I couldn't manage that now I am taking my blood sugars, I would be flying, but before I would have enjoyed it all!

I had a big lunch (largest lunch box in the office kitchen today :happy:) with half a cauliflower, two eggs, mustard sauce (home-made with a lot of butter, and white flour :angelic:), a handful of pumpkin seeds and then some roasted beetroot, two hours later I was at 4.7 :D, but then quite hungry before dinner.

I was so hungry after cycling 90 minutes today, so I had a large portion of courgette and aubergine fried with fresh marjoram, then I put the veggies on my plate and fried a fresh mackerel in the same pan. After that I stirred a small portion of brown rice through the fishy olive oil to heat it up. I ate it all with some tahini. My two-hours-post-meal reading is showing 6.2. I am so full and am happy with that :happy:!!

I went to Lidl yesterday and got some of their protein rolls. I had two of them with butter, cheese and cucumber slices this morning. Oh, it felt like sitting in a German bakery :hungry: I had quite a high post-breakfast reading (6.8), probably due to the large portion size, but therefore I am still full to the brink :)

Today two revita crackers with plain fresh tom on at 9 am and nothing since. My reading is 7.5 and I'm very confused as to why.. Does the menopause effect blood sugars as I'm not cheating at all I've increased my walking and I'm eating less weight not going up or down.. Aghhhhhhh driving me mad.. Was about to eat lunch and then see my readings

Hi, sometimes my blood sugars are all over the place, too. When they are higher than expected, I tend to cut down on carbs at the next meal.

Thank you. For lunch I have green salad and ham. My sugars seem to be playing up since menopause was hoping some women type 2 might tell me it's normal :)

Okay, I don't know much about menopause :sorry:

I had leftover mackerel with courgette and aubergine, plus a few tablespoons of brown rice :)
