Took five hours to recover from that so I haven't eaten since

B: Lidl HP Carpet Tile with Bacon & Butter, Coffee with cream.

L: Mushroom Soup

D: Chicken & Chorizo Stew

Lemon Almond Cake with CC

The HP roll did strange things to my BG. After 1 hour it was unchanged, 2 hours plus 1.0, 3 hours plus 1.2, 4 hours plus 0.5 and it wasn't until 5 hours that it was lower than my FBG.

I'm still fazed by the unchanged after 1 hour result. Maybe I'll try some underlay with it next time to speed up digestion as it felt like it was in my stomach for ages.

S: 2 squares 85% dark chocolate (I blame the Bake Off!)
 
Ate out last night, had .... Starter. Razor thin smoked salmon with razor thin beetroot (4 or 5 slices) on bed of fancy lettuces.
Main. Chorizo & beef burger in bun (ate 1/4 of the bun) with "bucket" of shoe string fries (ate all of them, I should think they were from 1 medium potato)
Dessert. Brie, 3 grapes, 2.1/2 very dark looking crackers, size of a mustard jar lid!!
No idea how many carbs there.
 
And your blood sugar reading afterwards was .........?
 

French fries are about 40% carbs. At a guess I'd say that a portion of fries is between 100 - 150 g. So that's something like 40-60g of carbs just from them. Plus whatever was in the bun & crackers. I don't know what daily carb limit you're aiming for, but I reckon you may have had it all from that one single meal.
 
Oh dear! Someone said that they aim for 50 carbs a day (I'm retired female) .. Since I read that, that's my aim. This morning I had 1 fried egg, 1 fried tomato & 1.1/2 sausages + tea. Thanks for the carb info.
