I did spike to 10.2 but I wasn't thinking straight. I'm more focused and will be making low carb ice cream lollies today for the nice weather.Hi ickihun, Sounds good what did the ice cream do to your BG readings? I adore ice cream but never had any since being diagnosed in Jan this year
Hey - summer's on it's way and you deserve to enjoy every moment of it. If you make your own icecream you don't HAVE to resist! There are some great recipes online:

or @Brunneria suggested an even quicker and easier way:
... 2/3 frozen fruit, 1/3 double cream, sweetener to taste and whiz it all up in a blender.
I love icecream, too, and I'm certainly going to be giving some of these a bashing!
Reading between the lines, it sounds as if you may have had a lovely bbq in the sunshine, which makes your menu look even more impressive! If you did, I hope you had a lovely time.
I'm not giving up my lovely Beurre d'Isigny salted Normany butter, though - that's non-negotiable!)
That's amazing that it's helping with your pain levels.Feeling fab today!
B: Coffee with lactose-free milk, Coyo yoghurt and raspberries
L: Celery with goat's cheese wrapped in iceberg lettuce, corned beef, tomato, cucumber, hard-boiled egg
D (will be): Chicken breast with spinach & red peppers, lacto-free cheesy courgettes, asparagus, cauliflower, broccoli
(It may be purely a coincidence as I've only been doing it for a few days, but choosing full fat lactose-free dairy alternatives for milk, yoghurt, cream and cheese SEEMS to be making a difference to my arthritis pain levels.

Oh, yes indeed!!
Well, it's early days yet and it might just be a coincidence, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed!That's amazing that it's helping with your pain levels.
Stress (and pain) related, do you think?
From my online research, it does appear that both whey (protein, casein) and lactose (sugars) can be responsible for inflammation. Apparently, they can also cause raised blood pressure, and although mine has been high for a while, I expected to see it start to drop once I embarked on the LCHF eating plan, which hasn't happened.

I'm still 100% committed to LCHF, because it's helping me to achieve good results with my BG levels, but I'm going to try lactose-free and non-dairy alternatives for a little longer, to see if they really do help.
Thanks very much for your input, @AndBreathe and @Brunneria!
), please take it in the spirit it is intended. 
, no recipe , just made it up as to what I had in the fridge, baked in lined dish at 180c for 25 mins (bacon onion, broccoli and peppers etc cooked first).
but I recall reading that in one of the scandiwegian countries, Finland I think ? , they in some parts have a sandwich of butter between two slices of lard :***:
God that's making me feel ill just thinking about itNo nor me
Or make your own?
