So after a weekend away where I didn’t eat all that well to be honest- not a regular thing!
Anyway my wife cooked me a nice low carb curry with bare naked rice for tea Sunday.
To complement my curry in brought a jar of lime pickle- always use this is low carb and never have any effects from it but……
Someone picked up the wrong jar and it was actually lime and chilli by a different brand!
After merrily chomping away through almost a whole jar to my horror I realised I’d roughly consumed 150 grams of carbs and had my highest ever reading of 12.4!!! This soon settled to 8.2.
My readings have been consistently high since though usually between 6-7.
How long will it take for my readings to settle down?
The only device I have strips for at the moment is the code free which I don’t have a lot of faith in as my last hbac1 was 32 and that seems to constantly read higher.
That’s a lesson learned about complacency
