As its almost Easter, i decided to treat myself today...

I had a cheese straw at 7.30am, at 9.30am my reading was 8.8!! Normally it's rarely above 6.

Then at 11.30am I had a small chocolate Brioche, at 1.30pm it was fine at 5.2!

I am struggling to work out why the cheese straw was worse, maybe it coincided with the morning liver dump?

I don't normally eat this food, and rarely go above 50g/carbs a day! Anyway, good or bad, lesson learnt! :)

Well there were more carbs in the cheese straw, I assume you mean what they usually call twists that come fresh at the bakery section? Ah just checked the link yes it is
Also depends on how active you were after eating each item, whether you had anything fatty with the brioche, also depends what your levels were right before you ate them as you haven't mentioned that xx
