No the Novorapid amount is right it just takes hours to work.

Ok. Could you take your NovoSluggish a bit earlier. Can keep the porridge

I could try but on an empty stomach Novorapid seems to work pretty quick with me. Catch 22!

I just thought I was having a hypo but I’d put the central heating on by accident.

That’s the infuriating thing, isn’t it? You have a Libre, don’t you? If you inject and then watch for the bend in your trace, just when BG starts to dip, that’s the time to eat. Rather glad I hate porridge...

Same here. Porridge always tastes like sawdust to me. Maybe I am making it wrong???? lol

@mountaintom have you read “Sugar Surfing”? Gives great tips on how to use the Libre data to time your bolus and food - not a low carb thing either. It’s really helped me make the most of mine.

Yeah but in the 15 min delay I could be dead on the floor.

Maybe during the summer holidays I can experiment. At the moment I’m lucky if I’ve time for breakfast with school run etc

I’d switch to bacon Shame I’m allergic to it...

I get good bread from Pat the Baker. It’s 10g carb per slice.

I have seen a few people mention this book. Just ordered it for my Kindle

That’s not bad for bread! I sometimes have LivLife but can only get it from Waitrose, which I don’t have near me. It’s 3.6g carbs per quite small slice, but makes nice toast. I often make 90 second bread - 30g ground almonds mixed with a beaten egg and plenty of seasoning in a rectangular takeaway tub - nuked for 90 seconds. I sometimes try fry it after to get a nice toasty colour and crunch. Only 3g a slab and really filling. Makes a good pizza base too.

Avocado, king prawns and mayo for lunch... @5.6mmol

Allergic to BACON!!! Oh man i feel for you.

Big up to the porridge, Mornflakes is 56g carbs per 100g and Quakers/Scotts is 61g per 100g, for me 60g in a bowl with 300ml water & a small drop of milk to taste makes the mornings much more palatable, 3u units Humalog 20 minutes or so before hand and we're cooking on gas, well not really as I do it in the microwave, and provided everything's working properly lol I can eat another 25g carbs in wholemeal bread and three poached eggs.

Other days I need a correction jab but can live like this to enjoy the benefits of oats for my heart. and they're the only oats I'm getting right now so I carry on regardless .

Thanks lovely. It’s miserable. I became allergic to meat, poultry and cow dairy about two years ago - I get some quite alarming breathing difficulties. I’m the world’s most resentful vegetarian

Edit, and have reduced my bread carbs from 16g a slice to that one, I 'ride' my basal from now till teatime and would eat two bread with tuna to swim, just tuna if running high and hungry or 1 slice if that's how my bloods are running that day.
