[QUOTE="Annb, post: 2176013, member: 25851"] It doesn't make sense to me either - must be the effect of the throat infection plus maybe too many carbs in the soup or maybe I forgot to take insulin before I had the soup - that could do it. Later BG went down to 11.8, after insulin and more soup. Took extra Lantus at night and BG was down to 5.8 this morning. Much better. Still, I'll keep away from the throat pastilles. I was hungry by 1 o'clock today and I was preparing the chicken for my maquba so had chicken skin to put in the AF plus some bits I didn't want to use - wings and drumsticks. So I just AF'd them all and had that for lunch. The AF seems to me to make things a bit too dry but it was quite edible. Then I had a ham I had boiled and taken the skin off to bake. So I AF'd the skin to make crackling - passable, but not as good as the oven proper. I could do that because the "ham" was half a leg of pork I had brined for a couple of days with just salt and mustard, so the skin wasn't really like cured skin. I actually shouldn't have bothered baking the ham - it tasted more like ham when it was only boiled than it does now it has been baked. Still edible though. I just had a taste of the pork crackling; I figured I'd had enough food by then. Probably enough food for the day - I'll have to check and see what that does to my BG - I'm sure I took insulin this time. Lots more cooking to do today yet - must make the chaffle lasagne I am going to use as the casing for my beef wellingtons and do the rest of the maquba. I also thought I might try to make some of the veg stock paste mentioned in another post. Taking the chance because Em won't be here today - her Dad will be finished work early enough to look after her when Mum goes to work this evening. I've been trying to get a side of salmon to make Gravlax, but for some reason all I can get in Stornoway are little fillets, or sides of ready smoked, salmon. Pest! Also been trying to get hold of some game, but the butcher only had frozen venison. Also pest! I mean, this is an island that makes its living from hunting, shooting and fishing! [/QUOTE]
