I'm a little worried about my lunch today. We are having a carry in pot luck/baby shower. Since it's a baby shower too, I feel obligated to go. I was going to take a veggie tray but a friend of mine wanted my baked beans and said she would bring a veggie tray for me if I brought her my baked beans.
I've been reading Dr. Berstein's Diabetes Solution. Very interesting. So I've made some guidelines for myself to follow. The dr. recommends carbs being 6 breakfast / 12 lunch / 12 dinner. He also says for some it's better to ease into it (for BG reasons) So this is what I'm going to start with. The goal is to keep BG at a steady range, no high / low swings.
Goal
Breakfast 6 - 10 carbs / 14 - 20 protein
Lunch 12-20 carbs / ? protein
Dinner 12-20 carbs / ? protein
I haven't totally worked out the protein portion of this yet. According to Dr. Berstein it's what ever keeps you satisfied while keeping it consistent. So far the last few days my BG have been better than (my) normal. So I will have to tweak as I go.

You need to live your life as well, so the lunch will just have to be how it is. If you think your friend that's making the veggies is likely to put something in it you don't want, maybe you could say you're a bit sensitive to ____ at the moment and could she please make sure she doesn't put it in. You can also fill up on food before you go so it isn't too much of a problem to only have a small serving.
Just do your best and you'll be fine :)
