I also use flora light and 1% milk and sweetenersI've not been ill . one thing I know which I know was very wrong and bad and I'm really annoyed at myself for. was putting sugar in my tea over the past few months. so that's probably done the blood test from the doctors.
I put a complete stop to it last Thursday. And my morning blood sugars are good at 7.4 but after 2hrs from eating its 18.5 I'm eating healthy I don't understand what's wrong, I had 2 poached eggs with bacon medallions 2 slices brown bread and some beans.........
I'm having healthy sausages with mash cabbage and gravy for tea I will measure again after 2hrs , I'm drinking tea, water and diet coke

Thanks I will take these into account . low fat butchers sausage they use in slimming worldIt could have something to do with the brown bread, or the sauce in the beans.
Gravy is usually full of carbs as well, just how healthy are the sausage?
Mind you saying that your spike seems unusually high at two hours, if you get an unusual reading, retest to make sure, it could be a rogue reading.
Thank you I will cut down theseHi Tilly can I make a suggestion try without the bread and beans, I can have a half slice of bread but only if its been fried and beans send my numbers into orbit, just a case of eat and test .
Not having the benefit of seeing the make up of these type of sausage, but usually seeing low fat makes me fear for my blood glucose levels. As the manufacturers usually takes the fats out and replaces them with sugar or carbs. I eat a full fat diet, rather than a low fat. Full fat makes me digest slower and is kinder to my blood glucose levels. It also helps me feel fuller.Thanks I will take these into account . low fat butchers sausage they use in slimming world

Thank you. You've made me realise something else I was doing wrong. The full fat and low fat thing. I've always thought it was like dieting. After seven yrs of the medication working on the diabetes. Its time I got my head in to gear. Hope I've caught it in time. Scared I've done some damageYou could add mushrooms, toms, maybe some black pudding.
I have full fat yoghurt with a few berries for breakfast, that fills me up.
There are other low carb ideas on the low carb forum.
