Yep the libre is very useful to get a through picture.Yes, several times with a Libre sensor & phone app so theres little need to test at varying times because its logged (bit like Data Logging in a race car, lots of meaningful results) with Sainsbury Greek yoghurt it bumps my FBG from an average of 5.5/6 to 8.5ish 2hrs later, rarely 9, with Lidl it always above 10, back Sainsbury tonight.
the coners dont have any real effect however most fruit does so I havent tried a fruit coner, whats the point.
I manage 68% of my life in target 5.2 -8.0, 26%% above target, 1% in the 13.3 range which is far too high but I'm still learning about foods since I had the Libre on the 9th Jan & 5% under target
i cam off my bike big style on the 7th Jan so havent ridden since except for 15mins on exercise bike which was enough.
I'm very lucky I have an active job, 55 / 60 hrs a week most weeks which is better than the 80 hrs a week 3 years ago and the 100 to 110 hrs a week (sometimes 135) when I was diagnosed in 2005.
I have no intention of ever carb or calorie counting, we would need to retire to carb count homemade food as it just takes hrs which I / we don't have.
If I put on weight I just eat less then ride further & harder, nurse & doctor know this.
I was just trying to assess whether the bump included the muesli and plums or not. I’d have a significant bump including them. I wonder what the difference is between the two makes carb and sugar wise. I’ll take a look next time I’m in said supermarkets.Lidl Greek full fat yoghurt bumps my BG for me, Sainsbury Greek full fat yoghurt didn't but will try some tomorrow, not going to cut the Muesli or the plums as there is little else left to try now.
non starchy veg is basically any veg that grows above ground.
not sure about long fasts, I would consult your Diabetes team before doing any, it would make me very ill but I'm very active.
my wife like all the things that I used to have but she more or less has the same as me now, she plans & does all of the cooking, making most things from scratch, we try lots of things and some things work, some dont but the only way to find out what affects you is try it, Good Luck with it.
HSSS

I’m still confused. If you don’t like museli (which is high in carbs and almost certainly causing the rise you’ve now identified) why eat it at all? Have something else for breakfast - instead of museli only made palatable by adding more carbs (plums).cant be sure that its the plums or the muesli, need to test further, only like it with the plums,
Then they need to learn about carbs v fats for people with diabetes. Low carb high fat helps diabetes and weight loss and is NHS approved even if your nurse and. GP aren’t up to date enough to know it! See this thread to be convinced https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/category/success-stories-and-testimonials.43/like what ?, I've tried most things that I like, if I have a cooked / fried breakfast everyday I put in weight & get grief off the GP, Nurse & Wife
You’ve confused me. Are you now saying there is a rise/spike after this breakfast? How can you be sure it’s the plum not the museli? Have you thought about switching it out for something like this https://www.ditchthecarbs.com/grain-free-granola/.
Museli has always tasted like cardboard to me. Why eat it if you don’t like it though?
An interesting focal point for debate where there are plusses and minuses on both sides of the viewpoint. As you say, probably best covered in a different thread.Consuming carbs and fat together is suboptimal. Yes it may smooth out any blood glucose excursions, but there is a lot more to optimal metabolic health than obsessing over glucose in the blood. I would be at risk of derailing by expanding too far on that, so I won’t do that here.
Suffice to say that if you consume carbs with fat then the majority of the fat will go straight into adipocytes while insulin is simultaneously busy mopping up the glucose and making some more. Nice way to reduce your spare fat storage capacity whilst insidiously blunting insulin sensitivity.
Generally, carbs and fat don’t go together in nature. This combo might appear to be helping diabetics, but it’s the perfect storm of metabolic dysfunction. Think doughnuts and pizza. Or more saliently in the context of this conversation, desserts full of sugar and fat. And cereal is also a dessert. Bad Juju.
Same here. Sometimes I cannot wait and start tucking in prematurely.Chia pudding is my 'go to' dessert. https://www.dietdoctor.com/recipes/low-carb-chia-pudding.
I add a tablespoon of cooking chocolate to it for a bit of indulgence, and serve with blueberries and single cream. Delicious!! It's very easy and quick to make, but the waiting time in the fridge (ideally overnight) can be a bit frustrating!!

This was part of an experiment by Dr Simon Tobin who is a non diabetic. The whole thing forms part of a series of tests he did on himself relatively recently.
