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
 
It all started so well ...

Bed at 10.30 pm 7.6
Woke at 1am 7.1
Awake again 2.20 am 7.5
Downstairs and ate a piece of cold corned beef quiche
Took meds and tested blood at 3.55 am 7.2
So far so good ...

Hour and a half later at 5.20: up to 8.0
Had coffee with cream and 5 olives
At 6:40 back down to 7.6

Washed and brushed up - dressed and ready for the day by 8.40 am
9.5!!!
Golly, you must feel like you've had a full day already. Hugs to you

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
