Totally agree, I miss pies the most ie. anything with pastry, apple pies, meat pies, pasties, beef wellington etc. Have to avoid them like the plague and even a single slice of toast takes my BS into outer earth orbit although I never have missed bread. Unfortunately bread or cakes are always the goto snack option for the non diabetic folks to fill any food gap.
7.3 today.Bad night.Pain in palm,pins and needles in some fimgers and pain in my forearm.This has happened a few times now ,but last night brought me to tears.
Unfortunately any bread is "devil food" for me sliced, toasted, rolls, croissants etc including so-called healthier wholemeal options so have always tried to avoid. Same goes for cakes and frequently offerred hot cross buns at this time of year. Very difficult to say "no" to well intended folk without appearing ungrateful or precious but sometimes has to be done. Additionally as I don't take insulin, just tablets, any rise in BS for whatever reason always takes forever to fall back again which obviously keeps the average high.i had some cake yesterday :O daughter made me it how could i say no? thats my excuse and i'm sticking to it
curious does bread have same effect or toasted worse for your sugars? I've changed to wholemeal medium sliced bread rather than the big nice n thick warbontons farmhouse used to get. finding a very sharp rise with that also, but an equally sharp fall within a shortish space of time (insulin around 20 mins prior to sandwhich). as toasting will take a fair bit of moisture out the bread i'd expect it to rise faster than regular non toasted bread
Happy Friday and first day of spring.
5.22 this morning at 6 am. I stopped eating cashews, my bg is in my expected range. Have a nice day everyone.
I turned the heating off a few days back
This could have been premature as today I remain multilayered
