I was going to ask is it just cheddar or maybe even a specific brand? Have you tried other hard cheeses.. to see if they have a similar effect.
Very good point actually, I have not. I'd be surprised if a brand actually lied on their number. It was always from the same pouch of cheddar (300g pouch so it took me a while to take that bad boy down).
I have done the test I mentioned earlier, and ate a full broccoli with my 60g of cheddar remaining, which is 15g proteins (25%). So I put 1.5 unit insulin for the proteins as usual, and 1.5 unit correction because I was still at 7.7 from the previous hyper. 2h30 later I was at 6.7, which is fine, although a bit higher than I should expect. Maybe that bloody cheddar wasn't doing much in the first place? I am a bit surprised because I got high sugar specifically from that cheddar at least 2 or 3 other times... I may want to check up again that specific brand before testing another brand, although it's a very interesting question

I have done a bit more work out than usual today (a tiiiny more), maybe my muscle just needed more proteins and didn't convert as much as usual to glucose.
Diabetes management is really a nerd thing... It's almost fun.
Lesson learnt
@Eldra
Was it a natural yogurt or the flavoured type, I like the Greek Style Yogurts found in most supermarkets, the food chain Lidl do a nice one and is good value for money.
Lesson learnt, definitely hahaha.
I never eat flavour yogurt, you probably know why
a whooping 25% fast acting (not even slow) sugar, yay.
To be honest, even two weeks of LC diet are sufficient to make any human fall off their chair from eating such a sweet food. It tastes awful, it's like drinking regular coke after drinking diet sodas for a decade. My girlfriend and I love natural yogurt, as you mentioned, and I love that we can take the full-fat one (the low fat is so dry anyway). I didn't know Lidl does a yogurt, we always buy the tesco 500g blue pots, they are cheap, taste great and only have 5.5% sugar. I have done 4 BS tests over 2:30 after eating a full pot, and it doesn't peak at all due to the load of fat and proteins also.
