Yes, good idea to only have a quarter - just enough for a dip in an egg :) Make them last longer too. Love 'em so would be sad to give them up. They don't seem to affect my BS either.

OMG - the taste of real bread, I was in heaven BUT unfortunately, afterwards I felt very bloated and uncomfortable after having only half. I've tried 3 more halves with various toppings but always feel "not right" after :( Maybe I'm just intolerant to something in them - be just my luck...

oh yes, ty x Think i clicked on everything except that - duh! :)

They really are a mystery aren't they. If certain situations or food always brought them on then you'd know what to avoid but it seems to be a combination of various factors. I suppose that's why they've never found a cure. No common denominator.

@Enclave I've never found a trigger in all those years apart from, as @Robbity reminded me cheese and wine is a definite no no. I don't drink any alcohol in fact because they used to trigger them and gave up cheese for years but gradually tried things with cooked cheese in like quiche and...

Strange because I always thought it was low BS that did it for me. Before I was diagnosed I got my O/H to test me when I had one but it wasn't particularly low though.

Oh no (hug). Awful things and had them on and off since age 11. Always seemed to happen when I was looking forward to something too :(

Thanks x There's no pattern at all to mine apart from being more frequent if I haven't eaten anything sweet. Heat, stress, sunlight flickering through trees, stripes (can't iron stripes .. lol) but then sometimes these things won't have any effect. Tried to pin it down to certain foods but...

Thanks x Not giving up with so much at stake. In it for the long haul now. If I keep getting them I'll just have to go with it. Just wondered how common it was.

Usually, in the past, when I've tried to cut out all the sweet stuff to try and lose weight I've ended up with frequent Migraines which I suppose I've used as an excuse to come off the diet and fail again. Ten days into the LCHF diet and I've had 2 so far. I'm "lucky" that I don't get the...

Punched the air this morning with a 6.3. My lowest morning test since being diagnosed and only a week and a half into the LC/HF diet. :D

I read about these and couldn't wait to go to Lidl's so off I went on Sunday. Looked everywhere but couldn't find them but at the time I hadn't seen a picture so didn't know what I was looking for. Annoyingly I remember seeing the funny dark triangular rolls but passed them by as they just...

I don't think we could afford the premiums ,, lol

Mine's the same as yours. He doesn't worry about it as much as I do. Or at least he doesn't seem to. What really goes on in his mind is anyone's guess. With his brother having lost a leg through it he must worry inwardly but he just shrugs it off and says he gives himself an extra boost of...

One thing's just come home to me with a wallop - as you say, the stress it causes. My husband has just informed me that his BS this morning was 30.00. He "forgot" to do his injection last night :rolleyes: He's got it "down" to 22 now but I get so scared when he goes that high.

Good idea. I'll give that a try, thanks

Thank you all so much for all your helpful replies xx So many useful hints and tips. Would never have known about the KFC but that chart is very useful. I know I have to expand my meal repetoire but I read great ideas but never seem to have all the ingredients or I go shopping and can't find...
