Sometimes I don't think I will ever understand Diabetes..it's a sneaky swine.

I have seen me eat good grub all day, eggy for brekkie, salad for lunch and minimal carbs for dinner. I did this last week after some seriously high Bg's, it did work and numbers dropped quite well into the 8's, 7's and a 6.something or other.

Got a reduced bacon joint in Morrisons yesterday, have some aged veggies in fridge so a nice pot of soup methinks. Used the dried veggie soup mix, some onions, carrots, leeks and a small turnip, plus one small grated spud. All went well until hubby presented me a with a slice of crusty white bread slathered with butter to mop up the dregs.

Haven't had crusty bread for months..and ****, did it taste good. Luckily it isn't something that I crave usually but as it was there in front of me..no willpower.

Sat here looking at my meter and thought only 3 strips left but I really wanted to see how the bread had affected me combined with the soup.

6.0!! I nearly fell off my chair. :shock:

Not something I plan to do again in the near future (the bread I mean) but it sure was nice while it lasted!! :lol:

Just 6 - that's good isnt it?

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Ladybird - oh for hot buttered white toast! Sigh.

It was the butter that kept you BGs down

6 is good, Riri - but if we ate white bread regularly, even with the butter, it would soon be pushing the readings up. It's "treat only" now.

The only time I have toast , and yes, it is white bread ,is in the hospital after one of the ghastly steroid injections in my eye or some other unpleasant procedure. Well ,to be honest , they are not that bad usually ,but I have to justify eating the proffered toast somehow..

They are starting to offer biscuits as an alternative. Withdrawing the toast would be one cut too far.
I should refuse to go again if that happened! :lol:

I'm jealous whenever I've eaten crusty white bread it has put my bg levels straight into double figures and I used to love crusty bread, scones -cream tea - does the same thing, happened twice last year
