Dairy does mess with me too.I think my issue may be the dairy. I was at 6.5, ate an apple and my bg went down to 5.1 I'll figure this out eventually.

I did the ice cream today. Bg before dinner and ice cream 5.1 2 hours later, 10.7. Not good!
No I do not think so 6.9 it is not even very high . BG levels do go up for non diabetics sometimes as high as double figures when they have eaten a lot of carbs but it very quickly goes down again.Oops should have posted that too.
Husband was 6.9.
High chance he is pre-diabetic isn't he? ):
Just wish we could get it in our area we have all the supermarkets here but I have never found it in any of them apparently not all supermarket branches stock the same things it depends on demand. When I asked about it and along with H&B they said they had never heard of itHi @Troubled1 have you heard of Oppo ice cream? Low carb (about 7g carb per 100ml) and very delicious. I can safely eat it as part of a meal without a spike in blood sugar levels - as can many others on the forum. Check it out here:

There's also a couple of threads on it if you do a search.
An update on Mr. Noodlez. The blood test came back, and he is pre-diabetic.
Before the blood test results, Mr. Noodlez was admitted to hospital for atrial fibrillation and water retention . He is now home with 6 different meds. The cardiologist was far more concerned about the heart conditions, and did not prescribe any diabetes medication for him.
I am putting him on the same low carb diet I am on now. He still refsuses to test his blood sugars at home, saying he got needles more than enough in the hospital. At least he is taking all his meds and going to cardio rehab...
Tried to get him to loose weight for 2 years now. Hopefully he will finally commit now before it is truly too late.
I try to sneak more fat in, but husband is sold on the 'fat = heart attack' that his nutritionist is still feeding him. He is eating more olive oils now.Low carb, or LCHF?
