Managed to have a lie in today for th e first time in months - reading 5.3 when I eventually got up
 
5.3
BBQ last night. had one sausage and a burger using my own low carb bread (big dollop of sour cream as the hosts only had low fat mayo) and a couple of large glasses of red wine.
 
Thanks for that AndBreathe

Sounds feasible - I'll get onto google now

Cheers
 
What do you eat in the the night to have such fantastic results

I had mushroom and egg last night for dinner and came at 5.3 this morning.
Er nothing as i'm asleep...angelic
, but i can tell you i only eat 40 grams of carbs, 120 grams of protein , and plenty of fat.at regular intervals last drink before bed after exercise and shower , organic hot chocolate with fresh cream
 
They defrost beautifully......just had half a one with lunch so waiting to see what happens BG wise.....watch this space
Results in....one good sized half made my numbers go up just one whole number so not bad at all Delicious and a proper chunk of bread Can't wait to have a proper sandwich now
 
Love it, they are very robust that's for sure and you feel like you have had a proper sandwich too. Great news, Lidl will be selling out rapidly at this rate of word of mouth.
 
Yes I brought 10 the last time I was there just over a wk ago, have only used 4 so still got plenty but I'll be back next week for sure.
 
I never said I was 'happy' with it I was just quoting a figure and comparing the BG rises

I think any BG rise above 8 is concerning so the magnitude is irrelevent.
 
Results in.....a good sized half of one roll made my numbers go up one whole number so not bad at all

Freezing and defrosting may have the effect of hardening the starch, which may explain the positive result. Would be interesting to see if a fresh piece results in a higher rise.
 
3.9 this morning (31/05/15)

Not much to say today except I walked 7 miles yesterday and feel good

Still on the ND

Snap - walked 7 miles too. Unfortunately this morning's result was an 8.0 This can be explained to an extent by another celebratory meal (only one birthday left this year!) and it was quite late in the evening. I have fasted since that meal and it's 5PM now, so no food since 9PM last night - 20 hours. Supper is goiung to be in another hour... Just tested (before supper) and 6.5. Not brilliant really, but safe. Will test again 2 hours supper. I recently returned from a brisk walk (only 2 miles this time) so that could have temporarily lifted my BG I suppose - grasping at straws really. The good news is that my weight has now dropped below 11st 10lbs for the first time in probably at least 30 years. It was 11st 10lb exactly briefly a couple of months ago and at the time I was getting low-mid 5s. Tonight's supper is roast chicken but no starchy veg or wine for me, nor pudding. Hoping for a better reading tomorrow morning. Am also going for my 6-monthly HbA1c at the blood clinic tomorrow.
