First pint of Stella for 11 weeks

I'm assuming you didn't test any further?

You may be absolutely fine with it, but what actually happens when you take alcohol on board is that your body prioritises dealing with the alcohol before it gets around to dealing with carbs. As the Kievs you also ate would have had that lovely buttery centre, the fat also tends to flatten spikes, and in some people the impact of the flattening is to prolong any rise.

Soooooooo. What am I actually saying? I'm probably saying you should repeat the exercise, but a bit earlier in the day/evening, so that you can test beyond the 1 hour mark, and depending on your 2 hr findings, you may want to test beyond that.

What was your fasting level this morning?

I hope it works out well for you Gaz. I still don't eat massive amounts of carbs, but I do enjoy having a few more options when it comes to diet.

Fasting bloods 5.2 this morning after the pint of Stella last night. Got up late and faffed around packing cases for my holiday. Off to Tunisia tomorrow for a weeks all inclusive. Next weeks readings could be interesting!!

Quite possibly, but whatever they are, you are likely to learn loads from them. I know it's a pain on holiday, but it would be good if you could still keep a food and bloods diary.
