[QUOTE="Hareph, post: 1737784, member: 468099"] Here's my first day's result. My sleeping BG is pretty steady around 5.5mmol/L, I woke and registered a blood-stick reading which is a bit lower than the chart. The morning involves quite a bit of walking - 3km or so - and at noon I take my first carbohydrate hit in three months, an apple and half a wholemeal bun. The gradient up shows it has to work to get the carbs digested, it's all over in 2.5 hours, the rise is 4 mmol/L, 72mg/dl, not a bad result for 33g carbohydrate. My ketosis is definitely over for the next fortnight. 4pm I try a Costa sweetened pineapple smoothie, pure glucose onna stick. The upward gradient is practically vertical, 5 mmol/L for the same 33g carbohydrate dose but instantly assimilated, the same 2.5 hour recovery. The third peak is from 8pm, it's 170g of banana with close to the same carbohydrate load. Far less effect as it digests more slowly. I'll try root vegetables tomorrow.
