4.9 at 2 hrs now 3.5 ? hrs later 4.4 but did maybe 25 mins lawn mowing. Now 4.2 @ 4 hrs- I'm hoping that means body not working too badly. You are spot on about Libre showing what I would have missed by just stabbing and checking at 2 hrsWow! I think this is where the Libre really comes into its own - tracking the speed of rise and fall. I’ve sometimes found ( after a lot of protein usually) my 2 hr reading is ok but might be higher at 3hrs - Id have missed this with finger prick.
I’ll be interested to see how quickly it comes down again.
Oops. Just picked up and drank the wrong coffee! Julie's with normal milk and full sugar caramel. Just checked bg and suddenly shot up to 6.8 - wow! More steps needed asap. Climbed to 9.2 after 40 mins - impressive!
If craving pancakes I make perfectly acceptable low carb ones with just one egg and one tablespoon of full fat cream cheese. Whisk them together, and fry in melted butter. If wanting something sweet top with berries and full fat yogurt. Savoury, use cheese and chives.I clearly didn't get back on track - I had fish & chips for tea

I really miss all the lawn mowing at our last home. I'm thinking of asking our neighbours if I can mow theirs as well. All 3 might make about 1/3 of what I used to do. Grass doesn't grow very well here (except Newmarket) and I can't cope with that. What sort of place can't grow grass? No wonder there are thousands of pigs and trees round hereNot too badly at all! Great recovery there.
Note to self - must do more lawn mowing.
4.6 today. I read the article which enraged @Debandez. Took it to mean just because, at a certain level, carbs ain't good for diabetics doesn't mean none is obviously best. Some more fat than has been the norm might not be too bad for you but bacon, eggs and double cream 4 times a day ain't good either. Never mind carbs/macros, be nutrition led. It clearly mentions real food and supports veg and salad = winner. From my experience weight loss - which it harps on about - is key. Does anyone seriously think a banana now and again is the work of the devil or as bad a pile of sugar cubes? That article is very much the wrong hill to die on IMHO.
I did an experiment yesterday. Medium banana. Went up to 9.2. Quite quickly. Took 3 hours to come back down. I used to love them and often had 2 on a working lunch.6.1 again this morning. Nowt wrong with that.
2 hours after breakfast of Greek yogurt, (full fat) walnuts, small banana and coffee, it was 4.9.
I manage bananas well, but can’t do rice or potato, or pasta.
Just shows how we are all individuals, doesn’t it. Also, for me, I have noticed how my blood glucose reactions have changed over time. I have had T2 for over 15 years, now. It is almost 9 years since I managed to get control through using Newcastle diet method. Immediately after that I could literally eat any amount of carbs, with no spikes in BG or raised HbA1c. After about 2 years this changed. I found pasta, rice, and and potatoes most problematic, but to a lesser extent fruit. The experiment with bananas has only been recent, but I do wonder if they are ok because I have them with full fat Greek yogurt. So I tried banana on toast, with cinnamon. Again no discernable rise in BG.I did an experiment yesterday. Medium banana. Went up to 9.2. Quite quickly. Took 3 hours to come back down. I used to love them and often had 2 on a working lunch.
Great fbg, well done. Banana on toast? Pearl clutcher alertToday fasting was 5.5
