Keto

I have in the past cooked with both red wine and cider. Then batch cook and split into 5/6 portions.
Will this badly affect my sugars?
I am type 2 on Metformin 500mgs twice a day.
It only happens every two/three months.

What does your meter tell you? I'd try it and see

A bit of red wine should be fine, I use one of those little individual bottles for a 4 portion casserole, cider may be more difficult as it is very carby, I’ve never used it since diagnosis

Ok thanks very much. Shall try and see. The Cider is my brothers recipe, so might ask him as he is Diabetic. Saying that he isn't always very informative...lol

@filly I sometimes use a splash of Stowford Press Low Alcohol Apple Cider in my cooking, and don't have any issues with it.

I've just checked

Thanks. Made me chuckle with the splash!
I batch cook so use a full small bottle. Does about 5 portions.
