Hey everyone
Nothing exciting, but I made my first low carb meal earlier and achieved a good bg result.
On my own this evening, so I thought I'd use the cabbage laying around in the refrigerator. Chopped and boiled it, sliced the remaining courgettes, about 5, cooked 3 rashers of bacon and used garlic, red onion, paprika and lots of other herbs, any old herbs lol.
My bg before meal wax 7.2 (may not be low to some on here, though I have been lower a few times before), then 2 hours later after a glass of red wine and about 7 small mixed nuts and dried cranberries and my reading was 7.8.
That's AMAZING for me, truly amazing. If I could achieve these results for most of the week, I'd be chuffed. Simple ingredients that are not expensive. I have the other half for either work or tea tomorrow as I'm being deserted again tomorrow too, lol.
Thanks for reading
