I'm fed up of being hungry all the time!
Today I ate:
porridge with frozen raspberries
a large chunk of white cabbage
four squares of matzos with butter and cheese
a scone with raisins and butter
a small chunk of carrot and walnut cake
fish fingers, oven chips and peas
a fruit yogurt with two digestive biscuits
some white chocolate
Verdict - - - aaaaaaaaaargh I must STOP EATING SO MUCH! Infuriating Gliclazide tablets! Mind you, I did some gardening so I hope that worked a bit of it off.

Trying Not to Overeat
Bank Holiday Monday and I've done jobs, mostly, apart from going for a walk.
And I ate:
porridge with frozen raspberries
an apple
two slices of toast with butter and peanut butter
a brazil nut yogurt
an orange
pork casserole with onions and mushrooms, with peas and sweetcorn
a piece of melon
three digestive biscuits
another apple
Verdict: Fine on the fruit and veg - - is that NINE portions?! - - but still too much of the rest - - but these tablets make me HUNGRY!

Sunny - - and Hungry
A lovely sunny day today and I went for two walks, one in the park and one near home. But the Gliclazide made me really hungry all day.
And I ate:
Cheerios with milk
a banana
an apple
a large chunk of white cabbage with some salad cream (whilst I waited for the chicken to cook as my blood sugar was so low)
two glucose tablets (ditto)
a few brazil nuts (ditto)
roast chicken, roast potatoes, sprouts, peas, sweetcorn, gravy
two small Bakewell tarts
two scones with butter and jam
some Ritz biscuits with half-fat butter
a brazil nut yogurt
an orange
Verdict: Plenty of fruit and veg but too much of everything else. And I'm STILL HUNGRY. Sighh.

Strange Mixture
A trip to York, a trip to the supermarket there, Dungeons and Dragons in our house - - a bit of a strange day and I ate some strange food:
porridge with frozen raspberries
chicken tikka with half rice half chips
an apple
a few brazil nuts
three scones in total with butter and jam (low fat butter, no added sugar jam)
a large chunk of white cabbage, raw
an orange
a small Bakewell Tart
Verdict: Too high in fat and a bit too high in sugar. As usual! Sighhhhh.

Chinese and Films
Today I watched Fargo and Apollo 13 and I thought they were both superb.
And I ate:
porridge with frozen raspberries
an apple
a banana
two slices of toast with marmalade
three digestive biscuits
a few nuts and raisins
Chicken chop suey with boiled rice and a few chips
some prawn crackers
Verdict: Could be better. Wish Gliclazide didn't make me want to eat all the time.

Two Tiring Days
Yesterday I worked in the office and Gareth's mum Val came to visit.
And I ate:
porridge with raspberries
a banana
two slices of toast
four biscuits
Chinese takeaway - - assorted appetiser - - - lots of fatty things and some beansprouts!
an orange
piece of fruit cake
Verdict: Really not good but I was rushing around like a mad rushing thing.
Today I was over in Huddersfield at work this morning and it meant another early start.
And I ate:
porridge with frozen raspberries
tuna mayonnaise sandwich
shortbread biscuit
four digestive biscuits
banana
chilli con carne with tomatoes, onions, peas, wholegrain rice
piece of fruit cake
Verdict: Some good stuff in there but again I let my blood sugar get too low on the way back from Huddersfield. Must remember to eat before it does that!

Don't Do This Again Daphne
Today I left it too late to have lunch and by the time I did my blood sugar was really low.
It all started off well:
porridge with frozen raspberries
half a tuna and cucumber sandwich
half and egg and tomato sandwich
(thanks to David who brought me both of these)
but as I ate them I was aware that my blood sugar was still dropping - - -
a piece of lemon cake
four digestive biscuits
(oh dear oh dear)
an orange
and then a little bun in the afternoon, whatthehell
But things improved later:
stir-fry mixed vegetables with almonds and noodles
fresh raspberries and a banana
Verdict: Fine on the fruit and veg. Bad on the sugar! Must eat before my blood sugar gets too low.
