Carb/sugar overload?.....these so called healthy bars are full of hidden sugars and carbs...I avoid them completely
 
5.8, get in. First time ever since being diagnosed! Fab, sugars habe been in the 5/6's during the day so low carb all the way for me and I've taken a shine to babybel cheeses!

Brilliant result - well done!
 
Well I just went in to shop where I bought bar...67.1!! For 100g! I couldn't believe my eyes.

Hope you've recovered from that now.

My hints - admittedly a bit late now - would be drink plenty of water and very gentle exercise ... i.e. a stroll / saunter rather than walk.
 
Thanks for advice nomistheman. I had a bottle full of water and worked my way through it. BS finally came down...slightly higher than normal but not much.
I'm still a little bit light headed and have now got a bad headache.
I did have a slow saunter to bus stop on way home. Really scary too

Not like you. Do you know what caused that? Hope you're back to normal tomorrow morning.

Not a clue!
Wasn't feeling well the day before though.
 
So I'm ashamed to say that I scoffed a whole packet of Oat Crunch biscuits last night beginning around 10pm. When I tested at 8am this morning (29/05/15) I was 6.0 :eek:. So I dread to think what my bloods were through the night :facepalm:.
I won't be doing that again :grumpy:

Funny though when I tested about 5 hours later (having consumed my diet shake 3 hours earlier) I tested 2.7 :***: Go figure!!!
 
I love bread too Gezzabelle.. I'm working my way through Morrison's speciality store baked bread. Loads different varieties.

I don't get an email from DUK. I'll have to remedy that. Can't have people talking about me behind my back! It's a good job I have friends on here who look out for me. :)
