Your meal contained about 60g of carbs.
I would say that for you at the moment that is way too much (because of your sugar spike not because I am an ultra low carb advocate although I am) .
The spike was probably lowered by the fat content but also extended by the fat content .
If you can find 97% meat sausages they would be better and have them with bacon and eggs.
Mushrooms are way better than beans as well as tasting nicer and if you need tomato flavour then try a grilled or fried one.
It looks very much as if going even lower carb would help you more at the moment.
Hi bulkbiker
Thank you for your comments,i honestly though i could squeeze in a few extra carbs here and there un-noticed! Anyway i followed the advice of another member (There Is No Spoon) here who said to try that meal again without the beans and the bap. So yesterday i rattled out: 2 fried eggs, 2 bacon rashers,3 small 70% meat sausages (can't find find 97% around here) 1 tomato grilled and 4 medium mushrooms. And had to try 1 slice of toast (Gallaghers hi protein hi fibre which has 7.4g carbs)
Before i sat down to eat my BG was 5.7, two hours later my BG was 6.6 and two hours after that i was 4.8. I was positively dancing around the place. I have been having highish (for me) numbers lately and that depresses me hugely.
I have gotten hold of a lifestyle libre which lasts two weeks. I bought it without the reader, just the Sensor and the applicator. And i have the app on my phone now so hopefully that will work when i get set up. I am on warfarin so i want to make sure my INR level is low-ish before installing the sensor,in case of bleeding. I hope to try out lots of different food that i would normally have, good and bad. My intention will be to remove the really bad stuff and identify the good and the so-so.
Are there any tutorials on here for a mission like this? I have a link that Indy51very kindly put up for me, and it is very good and well appreciated. I would like to check out others if possible. So i should be on the freestyle band wagon in a day or two.
