Do you have a source for the elderberry essence? Have some orange flower water around and would like to make your drink
Hi Contralto, yes I just discovered a French brand of sugar free elderflower cordial made by Teisseire which is available in Waitrose. I also saw some other flavours on Amazon. Sorry for the delay in replying to this

How is BG reading at the end of each day? It could help to know how your meals help or don’t.

Just had a really bad reaction.

BG before lunch 5.9

Had raspberries, blueberries and Total 0% fat yoghurt at 4pm. I've had it before with no problems, but this time my BG jumped to 6.8 after an hour and then to 7.2 after two hours.

Don't really know why it didn't affect me like this the first time, but it has sure messed up my figures today.
