Has I have no carbs except small amounts in some below ground veg. On majority of days I wouldn't have thought this gravy granules between 3 people once per week would cause a spike? I have a Sunday dinner with gravy meat and veg and it's not spiked before. But although I say a spike it's still not high but I just wondered why ? K
 
Unsettled night. BS when I went to bed 7.8 but at 6.15am they were 8.0
Fasting til lunch

Well @granny-grump I'm not sure!! it was just a suggestion i thought i would make to try and shed some light :)
 
Hi gunner10 just checked the bistro granules carton it's 2 g carbs for a 50 ml serving made up has on carton,so I cannot see it being the bisto granules? K

Not a criticism it was great you tried to help me,I just needed to confirm this info, checked it out on line various carb counts from 2 g to 14g per 50 ml serving so I still wouldn't have thought it was this we wouldn't have had more than 100 ml each has my hubby is type 2 same has myself. Thanks I'm not a aggressive person quite the opposite! K
