Morning All so 6.8 just glad to still be in 6s Libre said 5.9 but that didn’t fool me! Happy Friday everyone.
I have tried a frozen mixed berry offering with strawberries, raspberries, red and blackcurrant mix, very sharp and low carb but similar spike so I suspect it may be the yoghurt and my reaction to it. I could try different yoghurts and possibly fruits but the easy option for me at the moment is to leave well alone as I am so low down on the BS effects curve. It is early days for me and I do know some of the good and some of the bad but still in the experimental phase as well as battling with reduced meds. I find my best option at present is just to avoid the bad, concentrate on the good and not drift too far into the unknown until I can get these frustrating readings under control. But please don't give up on the suggestions and ideas as they are always welcome and useful.As fruit goes, blueberries are not too ruinous @ChrisT2 but you can do better.
How do raspberries, blackberries or black currants or a mixture of these three berries with full-fat Greek yoghurt sound? All contain less sugar than blueberries. Strawberries too are more diabetic friendly than blueberries.
Perfectly understandable @ChrisT2. I particularly enjoy blackcurrants or wild blackberries with yoghurt; cultivated blackberries not so much.I have tried a frozen mixed berry offering with strawberries, raspberries, red and blackcurrant mix, very sharp and low carb but similar spike so I suspect it may be the yoghurt and my reaction to it.
