typically I have a sandwich and a piece of fruit.

oh whole wheat of course

I eat my big meal at lunch and in the evening I have soup or a Sammie. Seems to help me sleep better and my sugars are lower in the am.

I trying to learn how to eat. For lunch I sometimes have a cup of cottage cheese and a half cup of fruit. Other times a salad and fruit or sandwich on whole wheat.

But then, my B/S is out of control with my lowest reading (293)in 30 days was today. It's been running in the high 300's. They just raised my metformin to 1000 mg 2x's a day. Not sure how this is going to turn out. I exercise at least 30 min a day as well. Drink water, milk and occasionally a diet soda.

Sorry....I kind of got into my own concerns. Just scared right now.

A lot of fast food places are now doing salads, check those out (watch the salad dressings since they can be high in fats/carbs, use a light version)...Wendy's makes a good cranberry walnut salad

For work I usually have a greek yogurt and a nature valley peanut granola bar.

weekends I am bad since we usually are out running around, but if we eat out, I do salads, baked chicken etc

I found bringing my own lunch is much better than eating out. I typically bring those ham roll-ups with cream cheese and green onion people serve at parties rather than a sandwich, an apple with peanut butter,and a Greek yogurt cup. Sometimes I bring tuna salad with whole wheat crackers and carrot sticks with ranch dressing. If I do go out to eat, I try to eat a salad or a tuna/fish sandwich if they have them. Try to stay away from white bread if you can; anything whole wheat or multigrain is much better. Try to stay away from french fries if you can, they are the worst thing a diabetic could eat when eating out.

Ive been following Dr. Dukans type 2 diabetes meal plan for about 12 weeks now. My lunches usually include some kind of roast or grilled meat with stir-fried vegetables, maybe a whole wheat sandwich with low-fat fruit yoghurt. Sometimes Ill pack myself a salad and eat it along with a wrap or some hard-boiled eggs.
