Rye bread

As I have been under orders by my consultant endocrinologist to try rye bread with my evening meals to increase my carbs at my evening meal, so whilst out shopping, I found a loaf with approximately 25g per slice, so half a slice I had with my meal of roast pork and salad.
My pre meal reading was 4.2, and I had not ate since just before three o'clock.
So I will do the hour and two hours and maybe three, just before I have my supper.

Not to keen on the taste, but I will persevere, might have half a slice toasted in morning instead of my usual Burgen.

One hour update.

6.2, not bad! But not flatlining!

Two hour update, 5.7!

So not bad! Still can't get taste of it out of my pallet!

I find rye rather bitter, but it is supposed to be very nutritious.

Don't envy you! Do you have to eat it daily?

Because of my food diary, my endo noticed I hardly had any carbs at all with my evening meal, because usually it's just meat with a little salad.
So he suggested that I up my carbs daily by spreading the carb load into my evening meal. Hence hovering around ketosis, just to see how it affects me.

It doesn't and didn't! I don't feel any worse or better!

So I'm going to finish the loaf, another nine half slices to go and I'm going to try them at different times and instead of my Burgen!

Gonna have my yoghurt now!

While I'm here, did you further your testing with that sensor monitor?

Also, I asked 4ratbags to have a look at the forum, wether she did or not, she didn't get back. But she is still have hypos on lowish carbs. The only meds she is on is metformin. I don't want to pm her in case she thinks I'm stalking or following her! (You know what I mean!) So if possible, and I'll understand if you don't want, can you be diplomatic and subtle and see what she believes is going on.

Ta very much!

Back to my supper!

Had my slice of rye bread, toasted with a sliver of strawberry jam.
Still not really liking the taste but better than yesterday!

Did not really trouble my bloods tho. Just a slight rise on the first hour!
