[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 994613, member: 41816"] I agree. In retrospect, I think my blood glucose must have been spiking really high for years before I turned T2. Once I got my meter and actually saw the numbers... it was a bit shocking. If a scone and a sandwich takes me to 15 mmol/l, then how high did my occasional carb binges go? :nailbiting: I used to (occasionally) fall off the low carb wagon and have a carb fest of stuff like icecream, whole packets of biscuits, starter, main, bread on the side AND pud, when we went out for a meal. The thought that I would swing high, then low, like that (however rarely), and carry on driving the car, and expecting to have a working brain... well, no wonder I used to get brain fog sometimes, and 'food hangovers' the morning after. I have NEVER needed alcohol to enjoy the hangover experience - just give me a bowl of pasta followed by a slice of cheesecake, and I would look like death warmed up the next morning. [/QUOTE]
