My experiment

I decided I would see how different foods affect me and thought I would start with breakfast. I had 2 slices of sprouted-grain toast and a small bowl of unsweetened Greek yoghurt. I had started the day with 6.0 mmol/L. Straight after eating it was 7.0mmol/L. I rushed out the door with my son to take him to music school and didn't remember that I had forgotten to take my metformin...
Anyway half an hour later the glucose level was 10.2! Another half hour on and it was 11.2...an hour after that it had dropped back down again to 7.2. I suppose if I had remembered to have had my medicine it wouldn't have spiked so high.
I suppose next time I ought to do it with the medicine!

I see this is going to be a difficult time of the year for me...being Orthodox Christian now it is Great Lent, so strictly speaking all animal products are out, but I am having dairy. Finding something suitable for breakfast that keeps me going is quite tricky!

Could give it a go.

Lol bulkbiker - I want to enjoy an egg at Pascha. Health is important that is why the fast is modified.

Thanks for the ideas. Yes, our fasting goes back to the earliest days of Christianity and beyond into pre-Christian Judaism (as the Orthodox Church is the 'early' Church) - trouble is of course the restrictions on animal products tend to make it carb-heavy.
