What did you top your pizza with? It might be the toppings rather than the base that elevated your numbers. Last time I made it I tried to replicate a pizza I used to love at Pizza Express, topping consisted of sour cream, chicken, mushrooms and a little red onion, all virtually carb free.

Tomato sauce, mozzarella and cheddar cheese, and chilli pepper. Probably the tomato sauce. Do you leave that out of yours?

I have used a tomato based pizza topping before but this last time I just had the sour cream with the chicken and veggies. I saw less of a blood sugar rise with that.

Morning all 4.6 today.

@Petaluk thanks for the comment. Doctor did recommend Metformin but I asked for a few months to try without. It was mentioned once more at my next review - things had improved and she didn’t push when I asked to continue without. Never mentioned since.

@ianpspurs don’t beat yourself up!

4.8 which reflects another very low carb day yesterday. Picnic on the green on a stunner of a day weather wise and it was salad and iced water for me. The exact opposite to.my.last picnic! Trying to be really good as I have my next appointment with the DN very soon.
