[QUOTE="ZoeinKent, post: 2450244, member: 542191"] Hi there, I just had a very odd thing happen at lunchtime. Usually I eat a LCHF diet. However, I'm currently recovering from a tummy bug, and the only thing I really fancied was a cheesy jacket potato. I haven't eaten potato in many months. So, I chose a small one (78g to be precise - Nutracheck tells me that's 18g of carbs) and gave it a shot. One hour after finishing eating, my BG was 3.9. I retested and got a 4.2 (my fasting level this morning). I'm never usually this low after lunch (which is usually 20-25g of carbs from Livlife bread, protein and salad) - normal levels would be late 5s to early 6s. I can only imagine I spiked and crashed with the potato. Has anyone else got any experience of this - maybe those with a CGM? I'd love to think I could tolerate potato, but doubt it! Many thanks.
