Not sure hankjam. It was a quick grab of one as I was going out front door to catch bus to work. I'll have to check tonight. I love porridge and BG is good after eating it. Feel idiot for not double checking before buying it. Give them to non diabetic sister :)

Don't worry mandigo it won't. Never felt like this before and had high readings, rarely, before. Feelings slowly subsiding

7.3 this morning after a scary 9.1 two hours after a late dinner last night, which was 5.8 before dinner. Went to bed half an hour after that 9.1 reading. Dinner wasn't at all carby but probably a fair amount of protein.

I've had to changed my working schedule, and as a result I'm eating sometimes very late.
I tend to fall asleep soon after, net result, higher fasting levels......I'm working to fix this.

@JTL
Thanks the trip was good, currently fighting a very stubborn ear infection as well as the flu even though I've had Jab...
Let's hope tomorrow's reading is back in range.
