Brunch: sausage, bacon and egg
S: slice of marzipanned and iced christmas cake. GB 10.8. Oh. Dear.
D: sprouts and bacon fried in butter, cabbage, leeks and green beans in a cheese sauce.
I'm a bit baffled as to what happened physiologically today. After the cake my BG went up to 10.8 and I couldn't get it to come down. However, 30 mins after eating dinner it had come back down to 6.2. I would expect it to go up after eating - not down.

One 'trick' I had as a T2 was when I was high I would have a very small fat only snack. Eating anything would prompt an insuln secretion so a few nuts or a piece of celery would prompt insulin without raising BG an start me heading down. I am a T1 now so that doesn't work but it worked beautifully when I was a T2
