[QUOTE="Gargoyletaz, post: 2670150, member: 552053"] It was a teacake I grabbed whilst we were out, so between 30 & 39 grammes of carbs plus the dried fruit. I was naive in thinking that small innocent looking item would only spike my BG about 4 mmol [emoji38] It's a massive learning curve getting your head around how your body reacts to everything. Even if you are sat just watching telly, you BG levels don't just stay still. I have found if I eliminate all obvious carbs my body can cope with the amount of carbs in meat and most veg. I am looking at the carb content when I go shopping & nothing I usually buy/eat has a high amount of carbs, so I'm hoping I just need to steer clear of the breaded/grab as you go food. I am dairy intolerant, so I'm having nuts and pork crackling as snacks. What I have found since being diagnosed is that my sweet craving after lunch and dinner has disappeared! I was keeping to 1 or 2 squares of dark chocolate a day, but I have no willpower with sweet things being dairy free! I have lost nearly 4kg so although I'm only slightly overweight, it all helps. I have a load of test strips ready for when the Libre 2 runs out so I can continue learning. It's a hard week this week. It's my mum's funeral on Thurs and I live 250 miles away. My 9 year old has decided to stay with our next door neighbours as she is adamant she doesn't want to go to the funeral. It'll be our 1st night away without her & she is obviously scared but also excited. Then it's my dad's 1st anniversary the next day on Fri. No comfort food though [emoji4] I'm hoping my blood pressure comes down as the doctors are also concerned about that. I have been on high blood pressure tablets for years so they may increase the dose when I speak to them tomorrow [emoji51] I will keep you updated. Thank you [/QUOTE]
