Type 2s: What have you eaten today?

Not very good with regular meals but trying to change diet bit by bit.
Forgot to do readings as rushing around
Breakfast cappuccino (not good but down to a couple a day compared to what I was drinking)
Lunch - didn't eat till 3pm - chicken sandwich in wholemeal bread - yogurt - checked blood sugars but not until I go home from work at 7pm and they were 7.9 thought they would have been lower
Dinner Spag Bolognese and a cappuccino (BS 2 hr post meal 9.2).
Snack - two digestive biscuits and another cappuccino (oops) will see what the damage is in a bit

Probably not eating enough - recording food is defiantly making me realise I don't drink enough

Hi, all, at 12:30 AM on Tuesday 4th July,

Haven't eaten anything today, yet, but yesterday in the morning when I got my friend Gary's computer back online round his mum's house and fixed the pump in the aquarium, ate a nice meal his mum gave me of 3 rashers of fried, unsmoked back bacon, 2 fried eggs and 2 slices of Tesco Everyday Value white bread with margarine. I also. round there, ate 1 bag of ready salted Walker's potato crisps and had a can of Tesco's own brand Cola, non-Diet.

Yesterday, late afternoon, early evening, I ate a meat feast deep pan cheesy pizza. It had melted cheese, tomato puree, sweet peppers, minced beef, ham, pepperoni and chopped onion.

2 mugs black coffee, water throughout the day.

Dinner Bloods 5.1 pre - 6.5 post. I guess the Strawberries (went for 170g in the end) have caused the rise to 6.5 as I worked the soup out to be between 8-12g of carbohydrate per portion when I made it yesterday.
 
Omelette for breakfast, a few crackers and some cheese for lunch (and a sneaky bag of crisps), a mug of tea, two mugs of coffee in between. Meds - 500mg Metformin, 80mg Gliclazide and 25mg Alogliptin for breakfast. 500mg Metformin for lunch and my BG is.............11.9 - OK, I've not done much in the way of exercise, today being Sunday (grasping at straws for an excuse, here), but the bike will be hitting the road tomorrow, as long as I can motivate myself and the weather isn't awful.

I'm still 6' 1", still weigh within a pound or two of 11st 4lbs (morning weigh in), still don't have a sweet tooth and still as miserable about it all as my avatar suggests. Why me? I frequently ask myself. Why not me? I reply.
