good to see you
@Susikav ! Hope you are well?
I ate quite a lot more carbs than usual last week (including that scone!) and my blood glucose went higher than usual nearly every day (I even hit 12mmol/l) one day, but was at 8 or 9 most days, for an hour or two. But the saving grace was that we were on our feet nearly all the time and walked so much that we actually wore the dogs out! haha!
So whenever the bg went too high, it would drop again due to the exercise. That same amount of carbs on a sedentary work day would have been a disaster. lol. Mind you, I don't think I ever went above around 120g carbs in a day (although that is a guess) so technically it was still Low Carb.
I couldn't eat like that long term - I was really feeling the drag, the tiredness and the carb cravings, but combined with the exercise, I could keep it up for 5 days.
There are Low Carb scone recipes out there, if you do a google search. I have tried a couple and they seemed OK, but LC is never
quite the same as the real thing, is it?
