An interesting 2 days but not Necessarily in a good way, still interesting nonetheless!
I decided to test something out using my new toy (libre) - I initially wanted to see how steeply / quickly my sugars currently spike in response to a higher carb meal ( around my current daily amount) , how quickly they drop back down, and how long such a spike would affect overall control. I ended up also finding out what impact having an extra dose of Gliclizide would have and how quickly
So yesterdays food
B - nothing
L- test meal comprised of 41g carbs made up of 1 plate salmon sashimi, 1 plate pepper squid, 1 plate seaweed salad and 1 plate vegetable tempura. That resulted in a rather spectacular 7 point rise with my sugars still over target at dinnertime so I didnt eat and took an extra Gliclizide to bring them back down.That did its job a little too well and I was then on a 4 heading downwards at 10pm so had to eat 2 slices Hilo toast and some peanut butter to get them up to a reasonable (6.5) pre bed level.
So an interestingish day with 760 cals and 56g carbs in total
According to Libre my body also decided that a 3.15am liver dump and a rise of over 2mmol was called for!, Since getting up my sugars have been ok and odays BS graph has been pretty flat (as normal),but at the high end of my target range, despite my carb intake being v low across the day, which Im taking as showing a hangover from yesterdays experiment.
Todays food
B - Unsweetened almond and Koko milk cocoa
L - peppered smoked mackeral fillet with rocket followed by this berry chia mousse ( although I cant see how she reckons 4 servings - I Divided the result into 6, still either way its very nice)

So far 525 cals and 9g carbs.
Not sure what dinneR will entail - not v hungry yet - I always find chia dishes v filling
