[QUOTE="kewgirl, post: 149654, member: 20951"] Hi Dollyrocker To answer your almond quantity question. :) The general rule of thumb for the almonds is the higher your waking blood glucose the more almonds you would need to consume but you don’t need to eat the entire packet :lol: :lol:. I only take about 4 if my BG's are between say 4 and 6 (M&S do nice shelled ones, Waitrose which are slightly salted) and for me it works really well – especially as I do not always want to eat my breakfast immediately on jumping out of bed. :roll: If my BG's are a little higher on waking particularly premenstrual then I eat a few more. I then have stable BG's until such time as I want to eat breakfast. Also do you have one of the Novopen Junior injector pens? You could try just ½ a unit of Novorapid with the almonds on waking and see if it stops the BG’s hitting the ceiling prior to having Novorapid with your breakfast. Txx [/QUOTE]
