9.2 today, ate very small yesterday, like most days I skipped breakfast, lunch was a sausage, egg, and slice of bacon, dinner was 2 slices of Edam cheese with a slice of ham in between, my non bread sandwich, but..... I had half a cup of black Forrest fruits with some double cream, I was hungry mid evening and had half a cup of cashew nuts, otherwise, that was it. I bought the fruit frozen from Aldi, could the fruit cause the spike ?

Could do. Personally I can't do cashews either. Walnuts are much lower in carbs

7.8 today, am skipping breakfast as I'm struggling to keep my sugars down despite medication and diet

Thanks, I find nuts to be a good fill me up in the evening, that could be my mistake, most evenings I have either walnuts, cashew, almond or Brazil nuts if I am hungry. I will give nuts a rest for a while.

Thank you, I was newly diagnosed in Dec and have just received a couple of magazines, given a half hour diabetic health appointment was told it was too early to test blood glucose for me so went out and bought my own. It is not often my sugars are below 8. Waiting for my DESMOND which is in March.

I do almonds walnuts and Brazil's with no problems. As you say they are a great fill in but also contain some really good nutrients and great fibre!
