So today I thought I would have a blowout (foodwise) since I found I was T2 over four weeks ago.
I've been doing so well and as a treat I had:
Greek yoghurt with mixed berrys for breakfast.
fresh cod fillet in sauce with mixed veg for dinner.
Tacos with breaded chicken , salsa and salad for tea, washed down with a large bottle of lager.
1 bar of bournville chocolate and 2 home made martinis.
This is the kicker, my BG was only 5.2 2 hours after my last meal .
I just don't get it !!!
 
Yup, the liver will put everything 'on hold' to deal with the booze. Don't beat yourself up for having a splurge, though, we have all done it at one time or another especially at the begining. Start again in the morning.

Due to fat and sugar in food you will digest later but spike with sugar. So if sugar has been stored instead but not effectively due to alcohol. Sweating is a sign of burning fat so if sweated after food you will store less fat.
So 5.1 doesnt include spike from sugar as fat stopping it being processed quickly.
Expect a delayed spike and a liver dump soon.
 
And I thought this was easy , I was so pleased with the BG but I'm glad you guys have put me straight as my reading was putting me in a false sense of security.
It made me think that I could eat whatever I want again so im so glad you've put me straight
