Blood Level Before Meals

[Pinkorchid]

Good morning

Well, I had my Tony carvery last night and I gave to confess, I could almost see the roast potatoes looking at me from further up the servingvtzbke as if they were going to fly to my plate lol
Unfortunately, I couldn't resist...........
I had 3 large half ones, (1.5 if that sounds better haha), though believe me I don't think it's funny, but I had them and the crackling, little ball of stuffing and lots of veg.
I also had a chocolate pudding with a scoop of icecream. Needless to say I thoroughly enjoyed it, but felt soo soo full afterward and the stitch in my left side and up to my arm wasn't nice. It eased and virtually went by the time we arrived home.

I didn't test my bg, too scared.

I'm aware that I shouldn't have had this last night and don't eat like that ever, we probably won't go again for another year, so with all that's going on in my life at the moment, believe me, this was a real treat.

I've tested before breakfast today and it was 11.6

I don't know what an average reading should be first thing before food, or does it depend on what you've had several hours previously?

I've had 2 weetabix for cereal as I still don't know what to have to substitute cereal that's sweet and low carb.
My reading on waking yesterday, my first day of testing, was 9.2.

I also had a roast dinner out yesterday it was turkey, cranberry sauce, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and some broccoli carrots and green beans. I ate it all and when I got home 3 hours later and tested my BG was 5.0

Spot on there Pinkorchid

My sugars are not in good control at the mo. But from today, I'm making the slow transition to do LCHF and hope I will see changes as I go along.

Thank you for link Pipp.

Bloods before breakfast 11.1
Why are they 9 to 11 most mornings, I don't understand?

No more weetabix, I've had 4 tablespoons (is that too much?) of full fat Greek Nat yog with 5 small strawberries and little handful blueberries with a sprinkling of sweetner. Soon see what they're like in a couple of hours.

Much more like the thing.
Good luck.

Thank you, haha.
Still feel guilty having the full fat, feel like I'm going to put a pound on lol. Can't get my head around it yet.

Does the high fat men I can have any amount of butter as an example, or is there a limit in weight/quantity of how much fat per meal is allowed?
Ignore if I'm digressing from thread, don't want to be told off again, lol

Nothing wrong with butter but where you can use what are considered the healthy oils. With breakfast I take a small piece of toasted Focaccia with olive oil. Italian breads are made so as to work best with Olive oil rather than butter.

You can also oodles of double cream with berries and not feel breakfast.
