The question is, "how do I get away with eating serious bacon butties?"
Often at lunch, I have 2 slices of burgen soya and linseed bread with a filling. 2 hours later, BG will be about 6.
If I do the same with nice big wholemeal slices, it will be about 7.
Yesterday, I had a fat bacon buttie in thick fresh brown bread at a golf club, then went out to play golf. My two hours was up by the time I got to the ninth tee. I surreptitiously washed my hands in water from my drinking bottle, and did a discreet blood test.Bearing in mind I'm not on any meds
3.8!
What better reason to play golf more often.
I guess it's because it's a long steady exercise. In 18 holes, I'll walk about 5 miles dragging a trolley full of heavy irons, and swinging a club about 100+ times (I'm not very good!), so feel pleasantly worn out by the end. Perhaps I should have tested again after the 18! Might have frightened me! Or might have gone up with a liver dump.
Anyone else got a favourite pastime that is also good for their Diabetes?
