It's an exercise franchise .. I'm not sure what they do there but my mum goes and she is in her seventies so it can't be too high impact for everything.

Thanks for that :). Btw, sorry to hear you're feeling poorly but glad you managed to dance the night away on Sat before it got too bad

As are we all. Was it in "sweet" vinegar, normal vinegar or without? May be worth testing with one of others you didn't have?

I'm not worrying about this or my BG at all at the moment.:happy: I'm more concerned with fighting off several infections :eek: minus a spleen o_O which doesn't help :wideyed:
Which has all sent my fasting and post prandial readings sky high for the last few weeks :confused:
But I'm winning! :facepalm: I think! :dead::hilarious:

Oy! I'm only 64, but you're correct, it is fairly 'easy' as far as gyms go. It is a circuit with a mix of machines and mats. There are lots of different programmes so it can be as vigorous as you choose to make it. I like it because it's close to home, it only takes half an hour or a bit more, and I can go early and feel virtuous for the rest of the day. I'm usually there before seven and home by half past. If I could train the dogs to have my coffee on when I got home it would be perfect.

Sorry. I know they can up it but my mum likes it because she has osteoporosis and it doesn't make her unable to move the next day. Like you there's one just round the corner from her house so she can nip out and be back to make dad's tea in 45 minutes.

Tesco do beetroot in plain vinegar and pickled onions ditto ::))

Is there anything wrong with malt vinegar? It seems Malt Vinegar (or at least the Tesco ones) has barely any carbs. 100ml has 0.8g, a tablespoon has 0.1g

It's more likely the beetroot itself if you have a lot -

Theoretically, shouldn't be too bad. If I recall, Ally eats a fair amount of the stuff.

Not that I know of but noticed recently many are now in SWEET vinegar. It's that one I was wondering about mainly....

Sorry if I missed someone else asking, but did you wash your hands and retest?
