Maybe the 8.5 was a rogue reading .... dodgy strip, dirty hands etc... I guess if you are short of strips you wouldn't have retested

I did retest, using the other hand and it was 8. It is puzzling me. It could be something on the hand towel, I do wash my hands in the kitchen prior to testing and do cook 'normal' food for my son and friends. There is a Victoria Sandwich sitting in the fridge which I made this week. I haven't even been tempted. I am hoping it is just a blip and have to keep on track.
 
Can I ask where people buy Pork Scratchings from (the Posh ones specifically). I was hungry yesterday and looked for some in the supermarket for a snack but couldn't find any!

If you are anything like me, it is less about the number of carb grams, and more about how quickly they are dumped into the bloodstream.

So if you eat 10 g of carbs in fibrous veg, you'll see much less impact than 10g in white bread.

I use this a lot!

Thanks for the tip... I will look it up instead of dismissing it as full of chemicals because it's American...
