[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2624177, member: 196898"] OK my n=1 experiment tonite. I had a high carb meal (battered cod with tomato ketchup) and this follows a bowl of Bombay Mix with added sultanas) so a petite OGTT in its own right. My bgl went up to 10.7mmol/l at the 2 hr PP mark, at which point I took the countermeasure of a finger or two of whisky neat. The reading at 4 hrs PP was 4.6 mmol/l repeated at 4.3mmol/l to ensure a valid reading. So yes, a spirit chaser after a carbfest can reduce the bgl levels. My normal 4hr PP is around 6 to 7 mmol/l which is my current fasting level when not imbibing. Its Saturday after all! so not feeling guilty. [/QUOTE]
