What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

Seesh…. A Cauliflower Waffle?! Was it served with Soft Serve Ice Cream and…. HONEY?
 
Swipey pulled out a 5.2 from the bran tub of life (boderline break even for all the negatives of LC eating in my mind);. @DEBBIESCOTT I eventually tried this with my normal salad and some halloumi "chips" as my meal yesterday. Once the vinaigrette had worked on the pastry - not a perfect "swap" but ok- all was very good IMHO. The ingredients aren't Frankensteinish - no palm oil or obvious chemicals except almost certainly on the crops and in the beef; the fat spooks me somewhat but the carbs are good. Bg rose from 4.5 to 4.8 over two hours but graph fairly flat.

5.6 this morning, phew! thought I’d scuppered it with a late evening snack.
@Estragon I didn’t know that about Mike Post, but now you mention it, yes they are all great, iconic themes.
@tabbytwo have a look round the foodie threads on the forum, there are lots of good ideas on lower carb alternatives. Bread and potatoes will spike most of us.
 
Morning All. A completely disastrous 7.5 at 0800. It might be the sparkling rose imbibed rather too freely during the Strictly final. Need to stick to my prescription for gin me thinks. @ianpspurs thanks for posting the pie and your review. @karen8967 I do like cauliflower but that might be a push too far for me too!
Have a great Sunday

Where’s the pie? I missed it
 
7.6 yesterday and 7.9 this morning . I know the numbers reflect my carb +++++ intake but I will get back on the horse / wagon or any other mode of transport lol in the new year .

As usual I agree with @PenguinMum. You take care John. I believe the phrase is "it is a marathon not a sprint." Yes. yes my advice only ever applies to everyone else so not a word y'all.
