Seriously confused

Yes, they are. Also, strangely, home made chips! Or at least they work for me, but only 6 or 7. However, only testing with a meter can confirm if they are OK or not. Mash and jackets are the baddies.

I had some sweet potato chips the other day in a restaurant and extremely tasty they were too.

@Jen74 - How many times a day are you testing, and are your bloods always high now?

If this is a sudden rise in your blood scores, does it correlate to a new tub of strips, say? It is possible to have the odd "off batch", that maybe hasn't been properly seal or something.

The bms have been getting higher for couple o months suddenly took a jump bout month ago n ye ive tried different tubs of test strips same results even scrubbed hands before

How often are you testing?

Also this might be helpful to explain why not eating will not help until you get a handle on a lower carb diet.

Have read new potatoes are the best way to eat potatoes if you have to have them

better not to have them at all though

So how does it help bg and more importantly does it taste ok lol and where do u get it?

Surprisingly while the tea drunk effect (hypo-like symptoms) is well known among tea drinkers, there has been little interest by the medical community to understand how exactly the glucose lowering of tea works.

Still I have documented some of my observations and experience here:

I order my tea directly from China. But you are in UK you may want to check out:-
