Meat and now sugar and carbs!!!
Maybe the 8.5 was a rogue reading .... dodgy strip, dirty hands etc... I guess if you are short of strips you wouldn't have retested
I did retest, using the other hand and it was 8. It is puzzling me. It could be something on the hand towel, I do wash my hands in the kitchen prior to testing and do cook 'normal' food for my son and friends. There is a Victoria Sandwich sitting in the fridge which I made this week. I haven't even been tempted. I am hoping it is just a blip and have to keep on track.

Can I ask where people buy Pork Scratchings from (the Posh ones specifically). I was hungry yesterday and looked for some in the supermarket for a snack but couldn't find any!

As with most of my stuff Amazon, but they are expensive, need to check daily for price reduction, just add to your wish list and check, hope that helps :)

Breakfast: Greek yoghurt with sunflower seeds and hazelnuts. Tea with cream. 3 homemade Ginger Almond biscuits - only 1 carb each:)

Lunch: unusually for me I didn't feel at all hungry so just ate some more yoghurt with a chopped kiwi fruit.

Dinner: lamb's liver with onions and mushrooms in gravy. Cauliflower Mash with butter. I was very hungry and only realised later when I did the maths that I ate 9 carbs of onion and 9 carbs of cauli Why do onions have to have so many carbs??? Darn root veg!

2 more ginger biscuits. Tea with cream.

A total of 45 grams of carb so under my 50 grams per day target.
:)

If you are anything like me, it is less about the number of carb grams, and more about how quickly they are dumped into the bloodstream.

So if you eat 10 g of carbs in fibrous veg, you'll see much less impact than 10g in white bread.

I use this a lot!

L: lemon and coriander bought hummus. 9 bar - the pumpkin one. Much sweeter than my usual peanut one. Had forgotten my meter, so couldn't test, but I wasn't impressed!
D: grilled lamb steak and orange pointy pepper filled with cream cheese. With green salad. Yum.

Diabetes and ulcerative colitis.... :) Rude people... Violence.... and the amount of time I spend away from my beautiful family in the UK...
Try ranch dressing when you get the chance, my American brother in law living in Bangkok has it, tasty alternative to Mayo, not sure on the ingredients/ good for LC though, will tell you in July :)
Thanks for the tip... I will look it up instead of dismissing it as full of chemicals because it's American... :rolleyes:
