To our way of thinking STARTING at 8 is not a good thing. You should have a think about what you ate earlier on and why this hasn't been dealt with by your body. Going up to 8.5, after a meal, which started at 8, shows that that meal was fine.
Yes I know but I'm obese and trying to lose weight and numbers are lower but when I start at 8 as long as it doesn't ho over 2 mmol that's what I'm sticking with as well as trying to get it lower It is morning usually when on 8 and haven't had anything somebody said whole meal nimble bread is good
You can eat what you like and go to whatever level you feel comfortable. There are recommended guidelines which you have been given so the decisions and choices are yours from this point on.
Nothing wrong with salad and eggs. Nutritional and you would lose weight unless you ate lots and you would find you would stay in the guidelines even starting at an 8. Remember you can have then scrambled, poached, boiled, fried, as an omelette (with or without bacon), as pancakes made with almond flour... Off you go and I bet in a week you have a starting value of less than 7. Give it a try and come back and report.
Hi Terrier, there's an index of low carb vegetarian recipes here:
"Somebody" was wrong. As a general rule, bread is not good, though there are some which are described as low-carb.
You don't, you just assume that they are broadly accurate most of the time.
Fried mushrooms, bacon and a tomato, plain full fat Greek yoghurt and a few berries, cheese and salami.
Yes you can, provided the other ingredients are ok (almond milk or cream instead of cow's milk, for instance) Gram flour (chickpea) is also good for pancakey things and wraps I think.
Hi @terrier not ness a cracker but if you like crackerbread Ryvita make a crackerbread which has 3.5g carbs each. I often have them as a snack spread with peanut butter or Philadelphia cheese. They do plain or cheesy ones.
Now, come on @terrier what do you think? We are all looking for lower numbers and a lower number is what you got.
Off hand, no, but if you go to your favourite grocer's web site, all the crackers will be listed there, along with their nutrition content. As with all things, ultimately it's about how much of it you eat and what your meter says.
