What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

For lunch I had a sourdough bacon sarnie, but my CGM didn't like it. My blood glucose shot up to 10.1, and didn't return to baseline until almost three hours later. I maybe had too much bread (two large slices). Anyway, hopefully my CGM will be happier with dinner: sirloin steak, mushrooms and cauliflower. I'm sure it will be.

My aunt also made sure I'd have lots of good food on the ferry. :joyful:

Had tuna for a very late breakfast after boarding: tuna.

I'll arrive in Harwich at around 7:45 pm so I haven't eaten it all yet.

Looks as though you were well prepared food-wise @Antje77, which is just as well. There's seldom any suitable diabetic-friendly food available whilst in transit.
