Not exactly the most nutritious meal. You do need to eat some vegetables!

Right now you might be wise to cut as many carbs out as you can to get your
numbers down. But you may find eventually you'll have to add *some* carbs
back in. For some of us, eating too few carbs has the opposite effect of
what we want. And we have higher BG. There is usually no need to take
things to extremes.

Just for fun, this is the printout for 1oz of combined as a
meal. The things you should be interested in are the ones
that are low - those are nutrients you are missing.

Add some non-starchy veges and those numbers change
dramatically.

The table probably won't post correctly, but I think the
trend will be clear.

Be very careful of jerky!
Most all i can find in store is packed with high fructose corn syrup and
other sugars.
Best tip as a new diabetic is read the labels and be choosey about what goes
in yer body.
I eat pork rinds as a snack but my main meals are from slads and chicken
breast and real meats and veggies.
Yse your meter to tell u what foods u can and cant eat and use good portion
control and your meals will be "yum" everyday.

I just discovered a new treat. Peanut butter and sauerkraut
sandwiches. MMMMMmmm good. No really. Honest. They go well
together. If you can't have bread try it on crackers.
