Well done for a nearly "green" day. Can I just ask what you ate for lunch if you said you were carb free as you took insulin at this meal?

Instead of the rolls I replaced them with a salad, a lovely home made one at that......I still had some dairylea jumbo tubes...2units....a chocolate biscuit....1 unit.....mini pack of mcvites chocolate hobnobs...2 units....and 2 small apples....2 units......

So saying no carbs was really a lie but ommited the most starchy part eliminated the large spike three hours later.......

So far its been working well.....with a high of 10 most days at 3:00 instead of 18........

Its all about experimenting folks.......
