Well my BG this morning was 7.4, highest it's been for ages, no sign of cold/cough etc. It's either the Diet Doctors Low Carb Green Pesto Chicken Casserole or the fact that we didn't eat till nearly 9 pm. Has anyone else experienced the late eating thing??

So the boss and I are out shopping yesterday, and decided to go for lunch. Wetherspoons is ok and had seating, I decided on the Tandoori Chicken skewers and side salad I'm on the LCHF diet. Didn't touch the raita dip as they couldn't confirm if there was any sugar in it, the menu's there are...

Hi all, Just moved over from the Introductions Forum, I've got BG monitor ordered as advised on the site. So far my GP/PN haven't really given any info/help. Apparently when my Cholesterol check returns they will asses the risk, not sure what all that is about? I've started a low carb diet...
