Double cream has no carbs! I love my coffee too.

Good idea re kidney bloods -he has had probs in the past, might be back.

I think this is probly right, Adult son been giving us a lot of worry, but last night we spoke and hopefully that's sorted (for now anyway). So let's see how his numbers do now! Such a complicated and worrying diesease, isn't it Lainie :(

I will get a selection and try them all then see what we like best. And stop the fresh milk now.

I'll try it. We were on Oatly for a while and that tastes nice but is about half the carbs.The daft thing is the more stressed I get about the weight, the more cups of tea I tend to drink :D

I used to get this and forgot all about it!! We liked it -thank you! Think it was costing too much, but right now something desperate needs to be done :arghh:

Is Alpro lower carb? and does it taste like milk??

Yes,I think this is the way to go. With whatever kind of milk, just measure some into a wee jug and use that only.

The green milk, is it semi skimmed? But I love jersey milk so that's an idea!

I was drinking tea on and off all day though, with a fair amount of milk in it. Not just one or two tablespoons. I think I'll pour out a pint in a separate jug then include that in the carb total for the day.

He's always had this high reading in the morning but never this high Mark. We've had some stress lately over a son and that might not be helping. TY!

Will carry on low carb, and get him to test after meals. Thanks mods :)

Thanks for fast reply xx - No meds, diet only. On his meter, He washed hands etc and redid it and it was 9.5. Usually high 7s in the mornings. He's cracking up here :( He is very tired just now but he's 79. On other meds but nothing new. Might be a cold or bug cooking.

Husband recently went back to low carb after slipping a bit the last few months. Now his morning BG is in the 9s - unheard of! Any idea what might cause this?

I'm toing to try liquorice and I quite like mint, but I take milk in it! Will keep experimenting :p Thanks for help everybody!!
