It's a good strategy, Sue and one i'll employ. I'm usually not too bad at curbing carbs, lol, as you can see from my previous HbA1cs but now and then when i check bg levels, i'm taken aback.
Last week, for instance, i made cauliflower and stilton soup. Just one onion lightly sauteed in olive oil...a very little oil...and cauliflower, three very small potatoes and pure chicken stock. I then added the crumbled stilton and there wasnt a great deal of that, and a couple of fluid ounces of milk.
That was all i ate, yet later before bedtime i was staggered to see i was 6.4! I was completely fed up and went to bed minus a snack.
The following evening i had the same meal and didnt even bother to check bg later, just went to bed feeling a bit hungry. I woke from one of my 'low nightmares', soaked in sweat and shakey. I hurried downstairs and scoffed a wholemeal bread and pure fruit spread sandwich before returning to bed, cross as heck.
I cant win!
But so far today i have resisted the vast quantities of free grub that these offices boasts. In fact, i resist every single day i am here - most days i dont notice the platters of cakes, tins of sweeties, bowls of fruit, packets of nuts or biscuits...i dont see sign of my halo yet but it's surely coming!
