I will stick to peanut butter and Vegemite (together!) on toasted Burgen bread...yummy :wink:

Thanks for all your input, I have now used mine 10 times and still it works fine so will keep going for a bit longer methinks :shifty:

Ditched the peanut bar today and just ate some Baked Almonds ( Apparently they help lower BG ) and ate everything else I had the day before and got a reading of 4.8 , So the Peanut bar was the villain methinks :problem:

Thx for your opinion, I think it was probably the peanut bar that racked it up, and then testing to soon after exercise....think i will pass on the peanut bar tho !!

After scoring a nice 6.3 after tea last night, today I had a corn beef sandwich with Burgen bread, a packet of Boots healthy shapers crisps with a carb count of 13, and then an Eat natural peanut bar with a carb count of 12, followed by a handful of blueberries. 2 hours later my BG was 7.0. I...

Thanks Mothman, the lower the Better now :thumbup:

Thanks Grazer, I was a tad anxious beforehand but I know im going to eat some " baddies" before I get a bigger picture, just glad to get that first one done and dusted :thumbup:

2hrs 5 minutes, it took 5 minutes to jab my finger 3 times changing the settings and trying to get blood...ouch...at least I know which setting to use :oops:

I just scored 6.3 for my first ever test, I ate Asda tinned madras, about 10 small oven chips, and a piece of Burgen bread...Is that a normal range ???

I bought that once when Sains had run out of their regular, I must admit I did like it and if its that low think I will change !! Only 30 minutes to go before first blood test ...Gulp

Thanks for the advice, I will probably re-use as-well , Im the only one in the family who will use it anyway so their isn't a safety issue !! Thanks :D

Peanut butter, well sainsburys crunchy is 2.5 per tablespoon !!

Finally bought my Aviva Accucheck monitor but want to know if I can use a lancet more than once or do I have to keep changing it after every test? First ever test 20.30pm after a meal of tinned curry ( low carbs) and oven chips, got a feeling the oven chips won't do very well !! :cry:

Thx for the advice, I have seen some at Boots that have a cassette and no strips ?( I will have to buy the strips) They are slightly more expensive so what is the difference please?

Suggestions for a testing meter please, Im off to buy one tomorrow and their are so many available...another minefield, also how difficult are they to use and what is the ongoing expense?? Thx :crazy:

Your right Grazer I did mention All Bran when I meant Bran flakes...must have bran on the brain :? Im going to stick with 1 slice of burgens bread with peanut butter on, never really had cereal in the morning anyway, it was always a night time snack for me !

Yes I did Grazer, I meant Bran Flakes...must have bran on the brain right now :?

Ive had 4 years of nearly ignoring it, and have only just started cutting down on carbs and eating low GI Food...it is bad, tonight I did my first food shop and never felt so down about food, but their is plenty you can eat and the Forums here really have cheered me up with great recipe...

I guess I will just have to wait till I obtain a meter to be fully sure what is best for me...Im opting at the moment for low GI as much as possible to redress the balance after all the poison I have eaten this last 4 years listening to a woeful NHS Dietician. Im not surprised I kept stuffing...

Ive just noticed the GI Index for them, Weetos are 74 (High) All Bran 30 (Low) Mini Wheats 58 (medium) So which is the better sacrifice, the higher GI or carbs ??? :?
