Question Author
hi lucca,
yeah the book looks great, thank you for suggesting it, i think it will be well used when i get it!
its difficult isnt it. i was surprised yesterday when the nurse said just a bananna is the equivalent to a meal when it comes to carbs... also a full glass of fresh orange juice is almost criminal isnt it?! lol
and yes, like you say just a handful of grapes, or a cup of berries, even a large apple, all carry a fair ol wack of carbs dont they?
i dont know about you, but when ive had grapes, i can eat a whole punnet, no problem! lol .. not any more though!
ive not long had a cheese sandwich on 2 slices of white bread with a handful of crisps ok. now, obviously i expected my sugar readings to go up, but on checking them 2 hours later, theyre actually lower than before i ate! lol ... before 7.5, after 5.6!
and then theres other times when you think youve been good, and you check your reading, and its a whopping high! ...
sometimes if ive left eating for a little longer than i should have, i can find my readings go up then too..
it can be very confusing cant it lucca, and sometimes you dont know what to do for the best! grrrrrr .... lol
hopefully the book will help! :o)
