Thanks Jules. I have upped the tea I am drinking a bit, as the squash is getting soooo boring. Can I come and live with you as you have all these flavours and I don't and I need variety :lol:

There is certainly nothing there that would have effected my BG at all. The only thing I can suggest is drinking loads of water and see if that helps. There again, there is rarely any rhyme or reason with diabetes.
 
Tre-Pe,

Did you do anything strenuous, exercise, heavy lifting or up and down stairs? That can sometimes raise levels. There may have been more carbs in your avocado if it was very ripe.

no.. I was just watching telly! Avocado was TEENY (Tesco do a bag of market value ones @ 4 for £1 and they're the size of a duck egg!

it was back down to 14 this morning, but it's got me totally foxed! As soon as I think I see a pattern it sticks it's tongue out at me!
 
Ooooo errrrr Mrses, I always knew you were brave TP but this is something else. I hope you have lashings of butter on to protect you.

Enjoy. We all need a treat now and then.
 
I ADORE Jersey Royal new potato's. The one blessing of being on the ND, I can't have them. I'm honestly not sure I would have ant self control at all. I think JR's smothered in butter is my all time favourite food item.
