what do you eat before bed?

I tend not to eat anything before bed, provided I am above 5. I am still in the honeymoon phase so I am stable overnight and my BG doesn't change too much over night. I'm sure that will change with time though.

I was told not to go to bed less than 8, but as my overnight BG is stable I choose to allow myself to be at 6.5 or over.

If I'm a bit low before sleep I have a small scotch pancake with butter

I often make them myself and freeze them, but you can buy the packets which have the nutritional info on them which is helpful of knowing how much carb is too much etc

0.5 lb flour
2 oz caster sugar
0.5 tsp baking powder
2 eggs
Half pint milk

Mix the flour sugar and baking powder

In a different bowl whisk eggs and milk together. Slowly add this to sugar/flour mixture and stir until smooth.

To cook them, a little oil on a frying pan and a low heat. Add a drop in at a time (I can fit 2/3 per pan, depends on size etc) turn when see the bubbles start to pop. This bit is a little trial and error!

Simple as that

I'm sorry it's not in g and kg..... I learnt it from my mother lol I can't remember carb value off the top of my head per pancake (it's back home in my recipe book) but I think it's around 9 - 12g
