One hell of a lot of carbs in one go! 8 after 2 hours is fantastic, I don't think a non diabetic would be lower than that.

FBG 9.8 today + repeat blood test at 9:00am

Yesterday was the 2nd day in the series of work Christmas Do's.
I was good for Breakfast: just a mug of green tea with sweetener
It started going down South with Lunch: Full English (fried egg, 2 sausages, 2 bits of bacon, beans, slice of black pudding, fried mushrooms, a piece of buttered toast) and a mug of latte
Dinner: Chicken tikka masala curry with pilau rice
After dinner: WKD Blue's and a box of Toffifee...
 
On Sunday, I tested a world favorite: chocolate chip cookies.

Normal for me is 20g carbs daily & about 1 teaspoon of added sugar per month.

How did my “sabbath dessert cookie treat” work out?

Made w Einkorn flour
72% chocolate (which I tolerate)
1/4th the normal sugar

They were fantastic.

Warm on the inside...well, you know.

My taste buds have increased sensitivity in 6 months of no processed foods.

My fasting BG that Sunday morning was in the high 70’s.

Cookies response:

BG went from 83 to 180 and only receded slowly even post 2 hours.

Next morning fasting BG 119.



I did not see morning BG level return to <80 until Friday morning.
 
Just think, to match yesterdays 370g carbs at tea time you could have eaten about 80 of those liqueur chocolates. I guess that shows how easy it is to load up on carbs eating bread (which was always my weakness, especially when still warm from the oven}.
