Hi Julie,

I’m pleased you enjoyed your Christmas.

Just to let you know your fasting blood glucose is one you take first thing in the morning before you have eaten or drunk anything.

 

[julieclarke]

9.4 sugar levels was

 

[Lakeslover]

Is that now?

 

[julieclarke]

Yes

 

[Lakeslover]

A bit high, but hopefully we can put Christmas behind us now and get back to normal food.

 

[julieclarke]

Yes I well

 

[Lakeslover]

I’m going to from tomorrow. Back to my usual diet.

 

[julieclarke]

Yes I will try

That sounds delicious.
How were your blood sugar levels 2 hours afterwards?

Unfortunately baked beans (even the no added sugar ones) send my blood sugar levels really high, so I can't eat them any more. Well, I suppose nobody's stopping me, but I choose not to eat them.

 

[julieclarke]

I check my sugar levels later

 

[saucequery]

I check my sugar levels later

2 hours after eating, right?

 

[julieclarke]

Yes and I am having a pear

 

[Lakeslover]

How was your blood sugar Julie?

Mine was 8.6 two hours after my meal. Better than Christmas, but still higher than I like.

 

[julieclarke]

I will check later

 

[julieclarke]

My sugar levels was 8.5

 

[julieclarke]

I had a sausage roll and coke zero for lunch

I had a sausage roll and coke zero for lunch

Was that a Greggs sausage roll? About 24g carb in one of those, not as high in carbs as a lot of other sausage rolls which is surprising

 

[julieclarke]

Yes it was greggs
