This sounds like a thread i need to join
im afraid i dont really have any ideas, but feel ur pain
i am a student nurse working them 3 or 4 long day shifts, hardly ever knowing when im getting a break,
i am border line diabetic and really struggle with having both high and low blood sugars
At the moment i have soups with rivita, porridge in morning and a pasta in evening. with a musli based snack in the day .. but it does get boring

It's really hard trying to think of new things that are picky but tasty x

Does it necessarily have to be low fat? Given that you're effectively missing two meals and you need to have low sugar/carbohydrate for diabetes you might be better having some fats to help you feel fuller for longer. Even whole grains affect your blood sugar.

If you have access I a fridge could you have some mini cheese portions (you can get variety packs in the supermarket), or cold cooked chicken/beef/salmon/turkey/ham (cooked at home or bought in packets, but careful that there isn't a sugary coating) plus a little mayo and cucumber and celery sticks. Olives might be nice too?
