[QUOTE="Ronancastled, post: 2385597, member: 517232"] Having problems lately with carb creep, things I would have never considered early doors. Chocolate chip cookies, fish suppers, deserts . . . you know the like. I was getting away with them on the meter, that's both a blessing & a curse. Busy night tonight, our local Cardiac First Responder Group has started back so we were doing PPE training. Great to get out again & spend time in adult company. Anyway, I downloaded the new King Kong movie & settled in with a few cans of Coors Light. Had a huge carb urge rush over me, had crackers with cheese, about 30g of carbs. Wasn't enough, wanted more & went for a crisp sandwich on white bread, probably another 40g carbs on top of the rest. Next thing I knew I'm falling asleep, just like the old days after a carb fest. I know the scales wont tell me off until the morning but I want to give myself a warning, so I take out the meter. This is about 60 mins after the sandwich so I know I should be hitting peak, low & behold 5.3mmol/L. That's not going to teach me my lesson, carb creep is real & I need to up my mindset to address this fast. I found a guy on another forum who like me had complete remission, even passed an OGTT. Today he's on 3 different diabetes meds & insulin in increasing doses as he gained all the weight back plus extra. This was an internal rant I had to put down in writing or I'll end up like that guy.
