[QUOTE="JenniferM55, post: 2294366, member: 527474"] Woke to a BG reading of 7.2 (tested twice, it's the highest for about 3 weeks), how was that possible when I went to bed with a 5.9 reading? Putting that down to the dawn phenomenon (even though I had a lie in) plus the high temperatures the day before and through the night. Breakfast was smoked mackerel. Dinner flash fried belly pork slices (previously baked till tender) with a small amount of sweet chilli dressing brushed on each slice for the 'lift'. Stir fried bean sprouts, sliced mushrooms and a spring onion in sesame oil. Seasoned with Chinese 5 spice. Would have used some soy sauce but I found I'd ran out. (Just added soy sauce to my Tesco order, chuffed to find my favourite, Kikkomans, is only 3g carbs per 100ml, massively lower in carbs than other brands, or so it appears). Felt a bit hungry around 3pm, so tried an experiment: 1 teaspoon of peanut butter (1.5g cars per 11g) raised my BG just 0.1 half an hour later. It did the trick, my 'protesting' tummy was tamed!
