Another confession... just had a Creme Egg. Hopefully I bolused correctly this time.

It gets worse... they were 50p each, or 3 for £1.
I'll save another for Sunday.

Well Noblehead has said 24, so I might, just might treat myself over the weekend with one of these, but that is going to one almighty sugar hit. So I would take 2 1/ 2 or 3 for that, as I know how my body reacts to sweet things. Are you tempted as well, they do look yummy, in the fridge first though ?

 

[noblehead]

Eggcellent !!!!!

I find them far too sweet and sickly, but I'm sure not so many years ago they were around 40g of carbs per egg, like all confectionery and food they are getting smaller but the price is going up.

I'm definitely tempted, Tesco's are doing 3for a £1 near me sickly and sweet mmmm I always found a hot cuppa tea would get rid of sweet taste after a while of enjoying egg has to be a room temperature though yumm yumm

Well, I should have bolused much earlier for the creme egg.

BG took off like a rocket and it was around 90 minutes before the Novorapid stopped the ascent

Not sure it was worth it... the Mars bar was tastier and had a flatter trajectory

 

[noblehead]

That's quite a spike Rob

 

[robert72]

That's quite a spike Rob

Yes - I think I'll give the other two away.

 

[noblehead]

Yes - I think I'll give the other two away.

I'd imagine the best time to eat them would be after your main meal, the spike would be less profound.

That's what I mean by a sugar hit with me, my body seems to get an almighty shock and then goes into orbit, so I have to watch it or I might just have a 9 bar

That was after my main meal - I was surprised to see such a rapid and high spike.
