[QUOTE="kkkk, post: 476432, member: 92533"] Oooo very nice…probably some of the orange juice in the bucks fizz too :) I found that breakfast was one of my worst spiky meals (though jacket potatoes - which in fairness I did know were not ideal - weren't great last night either - must remember to eat lots of veg and the meat before I tuck into mashed type potatoes :)) back to breakfast - special k…weetabix….all of them I was spiking quickly after, but I have discovered that porridge with just a teaspoon of brown sugar is perfect - I didn't realise that it was ok to have sugar on porridge as I hated the taste with sweetener, and without cgm I wouldn't have worked that out! Also seeing sugar rises in the real has made me more vigilant about eating whole grain and lower GI stuff with meals to get less peaks. For me a hideous hypo day….had a couple of ones where you treat, still feel rough, treat again 10 mins later…and then treat again, and say "stuff it I'll have a biscuit now, I am fed up of being low" and even that hasn't elevated my sugar that much which was what I was expecting once I hit the biscuits (I thought I had it all sorted and it had been playing really nicely this week :) - keeps me on my toes!)
