What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

5.7 for me. Sadly by the time I’ve posted this and gone downstairs I’ll be lucky if I’m still in the 6s

Edit- just as I thought, 6.9 when I got downstairs. Hopefully scrambled eggs and mushrooms and a bit of exercise from collecting a table and chairs might do the trick.

Happy New Year’s Eve everyone.

Yes...agree mince pies are truly evil...but...also delicious... especially my home made ones liberally laced with Port Wine & Brandy...thankfully they are now all removed from the house (ate quite a few).

Heh.. When I made them, they always seemed to.. evaporate. No idea where they all went. Other than the ones I tested to make sure the mince was ok, they were cooked, cooled. Home made ones are always the best. I used to prep the mince by soaking the dried fruit in brandy & dark rum and spices for a couple of weeks before baking

But such is temptation. Perhaps next year, I'll make some low* carb ones. Until then.. 6.4 yesterday, and 6.2 today. And my next food challenge is figuring out how to use the sardines I bought now that mashing them on toast isn't an option.

PS.. belated happy birthday! You have quite a challenge week

*it's relative. They'd be lower carb than candied fruit in a marzipan case..
