Only me! So I know it will take time to get my blood sugar working the way I want it to, but I'm really frustrated with this afternoons reading. I read about lidls protein rolls so iff I went to buy some. Took reading before lunch and got 5.6 (it's been in the 8s and 9s this last week) made myself a protein roll with a slice of wafer thin ham, a scraping of cheese spread, a tickle of mustard and 2 three thin slices of tomato. No crisps, no pudding (not even a cheeky advent choccy) took my reading 1.5 hours later and I got a reading of 9.8 ugh I just don't get it. Tell me it gets easier, please!
Next time, ditch the roll and processed, sugar filled ham and instead, in a cold, crispy lettuce leaf put a good lathering of cream cheese, proper ham, cucumber, Mexican spice and sour cream (many other low carb fillings available).
It’s no wonder you spiked, your lunch was basically a grain roll! No fat to slow down the effect of the grains and I bet it didn’t do much for your hunger, not all that nutritionally sound either. Try half a roll toasted, lashings of butter and melted cheese.
It may have been the tomatoes, mustard and roll altogether, tomatoes make me crave and spike.
