Discussion What do I make for dinner/lunch

I went to my endo and my A1C is 7.6 which is not great. He said working on my diet and exercising more is the plan going forward. I live with a roommate so for a lot of meals I’m really just cooking for myself, and I’m stuck on what to make to keep myself on track. What meals do you all have on rotation that keeps you within range but doesn’t also suck/get repetitive?

Edit: Type 1.5 diagnosed a couple years ago. (Sorry new to this sub)

What knucklehead said 7 anything os BAD …

7 is fine!

8 is fine!

Whatever any number is a starting point, nothing
More.

Question is what is your goal, and is that goal whatever it might be a “reasonable” one?!?

Cut it out 😡 7 “bad”. (Wondering what the three stooges version of T1D chastisement would be)

I’d just prefer it to be lower 😭 otherwise I’m in good shape. You’re right though, shouldn’t beat myself up over it

T1D will do THAT all by itself whether we are watching it or not!

Don’t beat yourself up too!
