My fasting blood sugar was 14.8 mmol/L, my triglycerides were 5.4, my cholesterol was 4.5.  So that means I have mild hypercholesterolaemia and mild hypertriglyceridaemia.

A trip to the dentist led to a trip to the doctor and that led to a blood test because I am 40yrs now ( OMG so Old) So Now I have to attend a newly diagnosed with diabetes class to find out what I can eat and how to deal with it.

Well onto my food intake of the day.

Breakfast; 2 slices of light rye bread toasted 2  1/2 points, heinz salt reduced baked beans 55g 1 point, peeled tinned tomatoes 1/2 point, onion, garlic, 2 button mushrooms. 1 mug of tea using no fat milk.

Lunch; pizza consisting of 1 wholemeal pita pocket 2 1/2 points, thin spread of tomato paste with garlic, 1 spring onion diced, diced red capsicum, 1/2 a large tomato sliced, 1 slice of kraft singles 97% fat free cheese 1/2 point. 1 mug of tea using a small amount of fat free milk.

Tea; I am going to have chicken chasseur using skinless chicken legs, reduced salt chicken stock, garlic, mushrooms, onion, tinned tomatoes, tomato paste and mashed sweet potato with chickpeas. and 1 mug of tea using fat free milk.

1 good thing about the diabetes is that I am trying harder to lose weight and get fit. though the get fit thing is harder than the eat the right foods thing lol as I am tired alot of the time.
