[QUOTE="Richard'63, post: 2035691, member: 496846"] [ATTACH=full]32501[/ATTACH] By pure coincidence I carried out an experiment yesterday, I'm sure the regulars on here will be horrified by the experiment. :) And it uses a lot of test strips. I had just had two days of carnivore, (ham, eggs, cheese, butter, pork shoulder steaks, high meat sausages, burgers), and a couple of portobello mushrooms, and I woke up hungry. By two o'clock I was starving and this is when the experiment starts, BS 5.7. I ate a whole white bread baton with butter, ham and cheese (total carb overload), then tested every half hour until I peaked 60 to 90 minutes later at 10.5 and 10.3. Next reading I was down to 6.2 I didn't think that was too bad, nearly back to where I had started after two hours. Then it all went a bit weird. I dozed off for an hour, next test I had gone up again, not wanting to believe this is tested twice more on two different fingers, the numbers were all high and completely different from each other. Shortly afterwards I started drinking red wine and continued drinking red wine, my numbers started coming down. Two and a half hours later, my numbers were respectable and I ate roast pork with steamed veg. My numbers stayed low. Woke up at half two this morning needing a pee (too much wine disturbs my sleep), raised quite a lot of foam peeing into the loo which I usually take as a sign I'm peeing out sugar (sorry if that last bit was too graphic). This morning my BS was slightly high. I think I might try a low carb no booze day today. Here's the chart. [/QUOTE]
