Fasting p this morning to 6.7 - probably due to stress - sodding $%&* husband thinks I should oblige him and eat cornflour because it's more convenient for him if he wants to thicken food :eek::eek: - my refusal to accept this resulted in him more or less telling me I was clueless low carb wise. :banghead: :banghead::banghead:

I expect my blood pressure's through the roof now too.... And NO - I don't feel like being sensible and calming down just yet!

An analysis of sugar levels in cider, sherry and spirits found that some drinks contained as many as five teaspoons of sugar in a single serving. By contrast wines and beer contained significantly smaller quantities.

Jack, I think you need to delete the headings! The stuff underneath doesn't relate to them. ;)

Yes - but mainly when they're ignorant, bloody minded, instant expert, know-it-alls. However I do find some of them quite human particularly when I get a bit of understanding and sympathy from them... :p

5.2 but it was a very late test as I had meetings all morning so didn't test until mid day though it was a "fasting" test as I hadn't had anything to eat.
