Type 2s: What have you eaten today?

B. Special k nourish
L. Nairn crackers with small tin red salmon.
D. Liver bacon cauliflower greens and purple sprouting
Snacks orange and apple.

Help. Why is my bgs going up
 
There are, I'll admit, some real positives to the LCHF diet - other than the diabetes control thingy - I love black pudding! Therefore;

Breakfast - black pudding and Camembert omelette, cup of tea (black, unsweetened)
Mid morning - mug of coffee with cream
Lunch - green salad (lots of leafy things, tomatoes, olive oil) and a pork and apple burger - diced and mixed in, mug of coffee with more cream

Aren't I a good boy!? I hope so, as today's BG reading first thing was 12.9.

Evening meal tonight is in the lap of the Gods - more correctly, my wife's desire to cook something. Probably a curry of some description. I'll continue to be a good boy, however, and not eat any rice, potatoes or anything else vaguely high in carbs. (sigh - in fond memory of toast for breakfast)
 
@1954jessy are you testing before you eat and 2 hours afterwards as this should give you some clues as to what is raising your BS. If you are trying to lower your BS it would be best to try and drop the Special K Nourish altogether as it is quite high carb.
 
Today I had my first ever lidl protein roll.. With fresh tomato on.. Absolutely lovely but huge could only manage half.. And fresh fish and asparagus for tea..

i'm using my fitness pal to log all my food and exercise from tracker on my phone

ive found for me weighing out my food has helped me enormously as before i was not aware of portion size.

portion control is working for me, tho i do have odd days when i wake up from a nap and have binged. im looking into this to see if it mite be low blood sugar that causes this or it mite be im not eating enough so will increase my protein. or it cud be just got fed up of control but it was hunger related and i cudnt stop.

fasting blood this am was 7.2 which is good considering i was 14 four weeks ago. i cant wait till i get in the 5's but im seeing diabetic nurse on thursday and gonna speak to her about lowering medication if hba1c is low enough.

No breakfast, but had "Ovenight Oats" for brunch:

20g Oats, 200g Natural Yoghurt (Fat Free), 200g Fruit Mix (Blackberry, Strawberry, Blackcurrent, Raspberry).

I made it last night, which gives the yoghurt time to soak in to the oats/porridge and the fruit to defrost.

Not too high in carbs for me, but most recipes say 40g oats, which does give me a blood sugar spike.

Lovely! :)
