Well said horn player ! I couldn't have put it better. We should all know the correlation between being overweight, lack of exercise, poor diet and the effects this can have on our health.

Hi Kaya659 Just a point about your bg levels reducing slightly after eating egg & bacon. As bacon & egg contain virtually No carbs this is likely to happen, as your bg level would gradually decrease without food (carbs) anyway. This is why many people like myself follow a low carb regime, as it...
