Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who won't be attending the Reading pop festival.

Late dinner last night therefore a 7.4 for me this morning.

I am responsible for the grandchildren at the moment , chocolate seems to keep them quiet...not sure mummy or Mrs J will approve, but who cares hehehehe.
Another day of chaos and mayhem is on the cards.
Have a great day folks

Aw hope things get sorted for you soon @Ziggy2017 :) At least your smiling in your new avitar:happy:
 
5.7 this morning. Considering I had a high reading last night, my levels seem to have recovered. I'm still occasionally testing foods occasionally to confirm which ones spike me. (I eat low carb almost all the time.)

I tested a small amount of potato with the skin (less than 1/4 cup) at dinner - had 5.7 before dinner, 2 hours after, it was 7.4. Usually, I only have a small rise after dinner. I won't be having potatoes (even small amounts) again.

A rather surprising 3.6 this morning. I feel fine but after a week of being home from hospital and eating again I’ve put on 4 lb . Turns out eating puts weight on.. who knew ?

I eat lots but cannot put on weight. What am I doing wrong?

@ianpspurs just couldnt wait to tell you how much I liked the flaxseed rolls. The taste and texture is similar to brown soda bread which I was brought up on. They are going to be a staple in my life. Thanks so much for the info. You kindly stated the carbs per 100g but since I am hopeless at these things do you know how many carbs each one of six.
They made my day.

Hi @shelley262 this is rhe Helmsley and Helmsley recipe available on their website though Ian has their book. I gave up on low carb bread awhile ago but I do like something plain for breakfast and these fit the bill plus they are full of omega 3. I hopeyou have got out of the kitchen, when do the festivities begin? Have a great time.
