Fbg of 5.5 is good @LindsayJane.
The Tuna & courgette would be low carb. Did Alice's homemade veg soup have potato, carby veg, or flour (thickener) in it?

Alice (my daughter who is also a chef - very handy) is very sympathetic to LCHF. The soup was cauli leaves and florettes, one onion and some celery cooked in home made chicken stock from the carcass of a roast chicken. No thickeners. No secret engredients. My portion was calculated at no more than 5g net carbs so it can't be that.

I suppose it could be but there is no way of knowing now. I'm back to normal (for me) anyway, which is a much more comfortable place to be. I do rather tend to get worked up by anomalies!!

I do too but if I get a much higher/lower number than expected I just test again to be sure. All you can do now is have the meal again at a later date and make sure you test before and after and see if you get the same or similar result

Actually, I think now that it might have been coffee with sweeteners. I'll cut that out for a bit, see what happens.

Майонез на обед

Когда я добралась до дома, у меня была горсть арахиса.

На ужин я ел стейк, брокколи, жареный сыр и авокадо с хреном.

В моем кофе было 500 мл двойного крема в течение дня.

Я тоже готовлю завтрак.

Теперь все в моих шестерках. Не понимаю. [/ QUOTE]
