Well, technically not the great british bake-off, but Heel Holland Bakt, the Dutch copy of the show. Not sure if type2 or LADA, but I guess it proves I still make some of my own insulin. Is it even possible to produce insulin in anticipation of food? Anyone else experienced this? The first couple of times it caught me by surprise, not a good experience, trying to fight a hypo with yucky dextro tablets while seeing the best hypo-stoppers imaginable on the screen. But I learned and watch prepared now, with something yummie I normally wouldn't eat. It's great! I guess I have to try watching it when my bs is high to see if it comes down quicker than it normally does :p

Maybe best to try and avoid the stroopwaffels too Antje!
We lived in Zwartsluis for 2 years and loved it.
Before diagnosis I enjoyed kibling but now may be better having a bowl of snert, which we had in Guithoorn.

To answer your question, I rather doubt you produce insulin by watching TV!
