Thank you. I have been testing like mad recently lol. Running out of lancets though now. Lol. I'm really hoping for a normal hba1c next time as I will be pulling back from the every 6 months bloods if I manage it ☺
Thank you for the info. Would that work on the click pen style lancets ?
Yes . Thanks I just worried about bacteria and stuffI use an Accu Chek Fastclix. Is that the sort you mean? Yes, it works on that.
I find that smoothies make my blood glucose rise faster than eating the food as it was, so at 2 hours my BG is on the way down, as the spike was some time before that.
I don't know if that happened as it only had 1 date in it and no other fruit
You will have had a rise before you dropped, but the fact you dropped by the 2 hour mark is good. Perhaps next time you try it test at an hour as well as the 2 hour mark, just to see what happens.
The date, as a dried fruit is probably about 70 percent carbohydrate - so equivalent to my breakfast in carbs, but presented as a drink. Avocado is 9 percent carbs, there would have been carbs in the milk and the spinach - not a lot, but all in an easily absorbed state.I don't know if that happened as it only had 1 date in it and no other fruit
