Yesterday spent more or less the whole day between 4.8 and 5.3 on libre eating a fatty beef bone broth for breakfast and lunch
last night - went out for a drink - 3 whiskies before a late night Indian . blood sugars stayed around 5 all the way up to 11.00 pm
Given how stable things had been I figured I would test out what happened with a " proper" Indian.
so - poppadoms and spices to start, house special rice with coconut - chicken korma , mutter paneer ( cheese and peas ) . I delibrately picked the fatty options for the rice and the main courses.
I couldn't eat it all ( a first for me ! ) but I did eat around 2/3 of everything - so it was my first proper portion of rice in 10 months.
with the libre its easy to see how things impact, so I though people might be interested in the results.
Ate about 11.30 pm by 1.30 - 2 hours later still no effect on blood sugars at all - readings around 4.9
It took 2 and a half hours before glucose started to increase,and very gradually peak at 8 around 7 hours later . before dropping back to under 6.7 by 10.00 am which is pretty much where I usually am after the dawn phenomena .
All in all it therefore seems that by eating my blow out meal after the alcohol, and keeping it fatty, I did manage to do it in a way that didn't cause me any particular harm.- will be interesting to see how high the bs stay all day , given I still feel utterly stuffed full of food.
I did notice though that the " joy" of eating "normally" wasn't really there - so it' s not something I crave doing again for a while.
Looking at the carb count from my fitness pal, I reckon I probably ate about 120g of carbs in one meal -compared to my usual daily amount of around 30g. and I'm still in ketosis - which surprises me .
Overall therefore it does look like my body is now starting to better regulate my glucose numbers and the fat adaption is still in place - encouraging!
