[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 2348798, member: 196898"] Avoid the crackers! I did the same and I too am struggling to get the numbers back down. Not unexpected, I admit, but I certainly endorse the move to cauli rice. My HbA1c was 40, so I only peaked up to around 11 worst case after Xmas dinner and brandy butter pud, and I have today seen 5.9 on my meter so getting there. Not sure it was the booze. My experience of whisky is that it is hypoglycaemic and my bgl drops like a stone. I do not advocate it as a 'cure' because it may be a false low. I think in my case it is that I have recovered my Stage 1 Insulin response and a sugar hit triggers an insulin burst whereas it used to avoid it and go straight to the basal slow reacting bgl lowering mode I had when DX'ed. Normal LC eating does not trigger the stage 1 response nowadays, so my bgl is normally slow to drop without the booze. [/QUOTE]
