If you fancy something sweet I find a couple of pieces of fresh coconut workThank you for your suggestions
Marmite! You either love it or hate it!It’s in the afternoons I struggle and if I have to nip to the shop I find things jumping into my basket! If I stay off the sweet stuff for 2-3 days I get out of the habit. That’s why I love supermarket deliveries as I buy what I should and don’t have the temptation.
Yay! Getting there!7.7 this morning .
Agree. I usually eat nuts and treat of pork scratchings. I still make cakes & puddings for for OH but I am absolutely fine about not eating them and go for yogurt berries a date and the dark chocolate. Eating out here is a nightmare!I find substitution is the best trick for me - if I get the munchies, I've a range of substitute snacks at home which take the edge off and stop me having worse. I bake little cookies with almond/coconut flour to snack on at coffee/tea time (plenty recipes online), or have a handful of nuts, or pork scratchings, a chunk of cheese or a plain yoghurt, all of which are low carb and barely register on my BG levels, but they do take the edge off the appetite. I try and keep temptation out of the fridge and food cupboard, so I've got rid of all the sweetened biscuits, cakes etc, although a square of 85% dark chocolate after a meal is my treat of the day. And if all else fails, sugar free chewing gum is another quick fix.
My struggle at the moment is with eating out - what to order that isn't going to send BG up into the stratosphere for hours. Sometimes its difficult to tell from a description what's in a dish, and there is just so much added sugar and carbs in a lot of dishes, plus a lack of awareness from restaurant staff about the problem.
Sorry to hear about your rough night and glad your son is doing ok.No bed for me as my son was poorly and I was at Royal Stoke Hospital all night.
Best news is, my son is fine.
Called in at Macdonald's on way home this morning driving my son back and all I can say is ouch.
Only just back home and tested @ 19.6 mmol.
Thank you sausage & egg muffin....
Lovely spike that!
Thx for advice and yes bread is a killer for spikes. Blood Glucose on the way down now and is currently 12.2 mmol and heading further downwards......Sorry to hear about your rough night and glad your son is doing ok.
Bear in mind stress and fatigue play a large part in high readings.
Oh and maybe ditch the muffin next time and just eat the egg and sausage.
