No, I had three pancakes only and a mere scraping of sauce... loads of duck, cucumber and onions - it was a large portion .. I eat chicken or duck, no other meat, only around twice a year, and when I look back it does spike me, the same for fish, which I eat more often... I can eat chicken soup...

Good morning Bluetit1802... you are always so full of common sense. I was celebrating last week and decided to eat duck pancakes in a very upmarket Chinese restaurant. I knew I would get readings later of higher than 8.5, but before bed I tested again and it had dropped to the much more normal...

Berries are still the best... or a little white melon....

Hi tsalman .... fruit is very high in fructose, which is not good for you.... berries, in reasonable quantities are much better... blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries for instance... I have them with full fat Greek or goat's yoghurt, kefir or in a smoothie.... sometimes with...

Life certainly does have its ups and down... :) Carbs tend to be carbs unfortunately - processed or otherwise... Sweet potato is fresh, but it's full of carbs... Being active tends to keep your numbers down and it certainly sounds as though you have had a busy time! I admire you for what you've...

I control it as tightly as...

Oh dear, indeed! Too many carbs... rice, bread, banana, tomato and potato... :) Your Christmas sounds wonderful... Happy New Year... Susi

I am concerned that people might take this seriously? I eat at least two eggs every day and control my D2 with a regime that uses a large number of eggs... they are the perfect nutritional package... Perhaps you could so some more research?
