Hi
This mornings fast BG was 6.1 and two hours after my usual homemade muesli, it was 5.7 so I can only assume yesterday's bizarre reading was a blip.
My daughters have friends coming over for dinner tonight and I've made cupcakes for them to decorate. I'm thinking to have one and see what that does to my BG! Thing is, I'm a bit scared it may kill me which I know is nonsense but I can't help but see a skull and cross bones on all sweet food :-(

This book has lots of good reviews, so I've just sent off for it. Thanks for letting me know about it xxI've gone totally low carb. I'm not strictly counting but following Patrick holford's low GL diet. It's really good and makes complete sense.
The 'Low-GL' Diet Cookbook: Easy, recipes for weight loss, health and energy by Patrick Holford BSc DipION FBANT NTCRP et al. http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0749926422/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_7eNDtb0RXF0H6
I thought I was eating healthily before all this as I was losing weight but I have been shocked at how many carbs are in EVERYTHING!! You've really got to read the labels and pick foods that are less than 10% carbs. I've created a meal plan so I don't get caught on the backfoot which has definitely helped.
I guess you've just got to keep trying.

Looking forward to trying it out. First time I've felt more positive re diet in a while, the confusion was really getting to me. At least I'll have a starting point to build on , while I can work out what foods are more suited to me, not just sticking with the same boring stuff.It really is good! The cheesecake is brilliant and you can change the flavours with a bit of imagination.
