The mango breakfast is actually less carb laden than my more usual rolled oats, but that's more around the GI and fructose, I reckon. The baked spud same day was all about running out of time to shop, and needing to eat, simply. Whilst we get some Waitrose products here, there are very few "low sugar" variants on the shelves. Next time (and there will be one), I'll moderate the size of my spud. It was somewhat generous.
Anyway, the 6.9? I was more shocked by the number than where it necessarily sits on the normal/diabetic scales, as I haven't had another 6.9, or higher since November. I was only diagnosed in October.
Perfectionism is both a curse and a blessing, but in terms of the bigger picture, life could be so, so much worse. I know I am very fortunate in so many ways.
