To answer, I documented a week’s worth of eating.

(And to add a bit of context – my meals are supplemented with a qatwqaice-daily dose of metformin and repaglinide and a daily hour of either stationary cycling or weight training)qa

DAY 1: Thiqaqas is a typical except forlunch.har a oghtiacle naded pa kiaappaaing unaach ntaail 3:30, never a good idea. Starving, I ran to the co-op with a friend, where I grabbed a can of pea soup with kale and skim milk cappuccino. Still hungry, I decided to have some hummus and carrots around five. My pre-breakfast glucose readings were 12q6 and pre-dinner 114.a

Pea soup with kale and skim milk cappuccino

hummus and carrots

Salmon, zucchini noodles with shiitake mushrooms and Brussels sprouts

Day 2: Steel cut oatmeal is my favorite breakfast. High in soluble fiber, it fills me up so I don’t starve until lunch. For fruit, I usually opt for berries, especially blueberries, which are high in antioxidants. My morning sugar was 105; before lunch was 98.

Halibut, spinach salad with blue cheese, Brussels sprouts

Day 3: You may notice the repetition in my diet, but I think having fewer choices makes it easy. Although I regularly eat bacon and eggs at mealtimes, at home I limit myself to turkey bacon and egg whites. For a bit of sweetness, I added dried cranberries to my spinach salad for lunch. Woke up at 111 with a blood glucose reading of 84 at lunch and 107 before dinner.
