I like my air fryer, a teaspoon of oil and the chips are dry and fluffy. I don't eat a lot of chips but they are still in my diet.Hello @eddie1968 I've never been a fan of them. I'd rather fry chips myself. I've not been eating potatoes and chips at all which was why I thought the celeriac ones would make a change.
Lol...over-testing is a pain. I am currently having to test 4 times daily as I am titrating my insulin up. My wee pinkie finger looks like a teabag and wish I could test less. I remember when I first went on insulin years ago and the anxiety of hypos made me test constantly through fear of fainting in a hypo. Now I can get lazy with testing.Woke at 4.30am so tested out of curiosity 3.3 but no hypo symptoms. I tested again at 6.30am and I was showing 4.2. Wont test now til after b/fast about 10ish. Feel I'm testing too much and fingers need a break. Ha ha
I've tried the reheated potato theory. Spiked to 8.3 one hour later...so far. Fried sunday roast mash with cheese.
@liam1955 I've stopped my diuretic diabetic med as since I've stopped my leg has totally transformed from a cripple to walking without pain. I cannot believe that tablet caused so much anguish for me. Any change to your body other than thrush?
@eddie1968 I reheated mash potato today and added cheese. It was lovely and after 2 hours my bg was 6.6.@mo53 I find any frozen chips out of a bag are worse for my BGs than pure potatoes peeled and chipped and done in my Actifry. No grease and better BGs.
I love making cheesy potatoes, I grate a lot of cheese into the mash and top it of with a layer of mixed cheeses and stick it under the grill for a few minutes. Thanks for tonight's supper suggestion lol.@eddie1968 I reheated mash potato today and added cheese. It was lovely and after 2 hours my bg was 6.6.
Have you heard of that reheating theory? I cannot remember who posted it but I thought I'd give it a go for lunch.
Apparently only rice is dangerous to reheat but chips/homemade or frozen should work - for me. Give it a try with a small handful?
Good news, My lowest was 0.8 mmol/l done by a Paramedic. I have self tested and my lowest was 1.5 mmol/l and was very sweaty and shaky and knew something was obviously wrong.Hi @eddie1968 I don't know if it was a hypo or just a really low reading. The lowest reading I've had previously was 3.7 and that was after an hour's walk. I feel o.k thanks
Eek! I've never gone that low, when I was first diagnosed I used to get false hypos at about 4.5. Mind you, I haven't had an fbg below 4 yet so I don't know what effect it will have when it does go down that lowGood news, My lowest was 0.8 mmol/l done by a Paramedic.

Yum! I like the sound of thatThank You @mo53 . I have got Leeks (grown on our Allotment) going to part steam them, place in oven dish - make a onion,celery,mushroom and cheese sauce to pour over and sprinkle grated cheese on and bake - that's my dinner today. Yes, do let me know about the Celeriac Chips.
