Defren said:I had breakfast around 8:30 which was bacon, sausages and one fried egg (meat grilled in G Forman) then naughtily I had one crumpet slathered with butter. My first ever reading was at 11:15 and was 6.5 mmol/L. As a newbie still coming to grips with all this, I think 6.5 is good, and feel quite pleased. Should I be pleased or are my results not as good as I thought?

You should really try and test at exactly 2 hours, but 6.5 is great.
My BG always goes way up after a bit of crumpet :crazy: !

Defren said:Thank you for making me laugh. Crumpets are my downfall, I love them. I don't have a sweet tooth and am finding a low carb diet quite easy. I couldn't test exactly 2 hours after as my meter was still traveling the countryside :lolno: Hopefully I will be able to enjoy my crumpets (with care) if my BG stays the same :shh:

Why not try ditching the mash and having half your normal amount of roasties and testing after! roast is the best way for us to eat spuds now.
I started testing myself almost a week ago and I found that I could get away with that last weekend!

bigfatpaulie said:"My blood glucose goes high after a bit of crumpet" Well that statement could be construed 2 ways,1 way could be taken literally or the other way could be seen as humerous which as far as I know is called a Double-Entendre.
I have Asperger Syndrome and I don't always get the meaning of words and phrases correct so my apologies for appearing to be dumb!

It's interesting that the man interviewed on Radio 4's children had an Autistic spectrum disorder as my 3 children have Autism,my youngest has a quite severe form of it and another 5 members of my extended family have a diagnosis too but most proffesionals fail to see it as a genetic condition. :think:

My youngest son has autism, and I am as certain as I can be that my youngest daughter has aspergers. I was told not to persue a diagnosis for her as she is functioning well in school. I think it`s genetic as well.

I think that's a great achievement :clap: :clap:
Keep up the good work.
chocoholicnomore said:Don't worry it will go up and down. Loads of things other than food affect bg levels e.g. worry, stress, illness.
Even once you are in a good routine it will still fluctuate.
As long as you can maintain a good average then you are on the right road.
I think the odd blip is OK.
You are doing really well so try not to worry.
