Hi Sarnie,
I have had an extremely unusual time this Christmas, I am usually extremely strict but this year I threw caution to the wind. I have eaten a lot of food which ordinarily I wouldnt even look at!!.
I have observed that I get the expected high short term spike, but my post prandial readings have been comfortingly good. Come 3rd Jan I will be back to "normal" , but I do have an occasional 2 squares oh high cocoa dark chocolate which is only approx 30grams per 100 gram bar and has minimal effect on my blood glucose levels.
All the best - Steve
