Yesterday started OK. Raspberry yogurt smoothie for breakfast. {Full fat yogurt, frozen raspberries, cream and water all whizzed together. Lunch was half a Lidl protein roll toasted with cheese and a cold chipolata.
Afternoon BG reading 5.7
Then it all went wrong,
Teatime.. hubby fancied fish and chips. It was my birthday so I said OK . I'll have some fish and just a few of your chips. I'd done this before and taken all the batter off the fish with no problems.. well I probably had about 16 chips, ( double my usual ) and I was naughty and ate the batter from the top of the fish.. left the bottom bit.
I went out afterwards for my usual 30 minute walk and felt yuk.. low grade headache and no energy. Took my BG on return and it was 10.2 .. eek ! It hasn't been that since I was diagnosed over 2 years ago ! I drank lots of water and still at 10.2 an hour later.
Had a mug of cocoa with cream and 20 mins later it had come down to 8.6 . Ate a few nuts and it was down to 7.2 before I went to bed at 1am.
Feeling like I have a hangover today.. yuk ! Now I know why I avoid carbs !!
