[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2103677, member: 506169"] Hi, you have been a diagnosed Type 2 and on LCHF much longer than me, so perhaps your knowledge on what is acceptable in 'eating to the meter' is greater than mine. If it were me, I would be seriously upset that I had toast with breakfast, since it is considered very important to keep the BG spikes down below 8.0 - or even 7.8 as I have read in some places that at around 7.6 to 7.8 is when the retinopathy and other damage is done. Surely you knew that having toast meant risking a spike above 8.0 ? How could you possibly expect toast to spike you by less than an additional 0.8? I admit that I've had 2 spikes of over 8.0 (an 8.6 and a 10.7) [B]but those were taken knowingly so as to prove to my wife that I really do need to cut all carbs, not just the high GI ones.[/B] [/QUOTE]
