Message: <blockquote data-quote="Annb" data-source="post: 2282987" data-attributes="member: 25851">FBG 5.4 - wonderful!40 units insulin, 2 RyVita with cheese and 1 cup of tea later - 8.7.  That's about 14 g of carbohydrate in the RyVita, not sure how much in the cheese.I took a small portion of butternut squash soup out of the freezer last night and a small carton of what is labelled cassoulet (don't remember what that was but it probably has beans in it).  Will probably have to give the cassoulet a bye to try to keep the BG down.  Might have to add some veg to the soup to bulk it out a bit.Although, last time I spoke to my diabetic nurse, she said I shouldn't be aiming to keep it between 4 and 7 and she would be happy with it around 8 to 10.  Can't understand that, so I keep trying to get it down.  Insulin helps a bit, but isn't the answer - hence the  low carbs, but that doesn't often work either.  Still, I have established that anything starchy is a total disaster in terms of BG, so that's something.</blockquote>
