Very quick question

[Newtothis]

Are clementines a no-no; had one today and tested myself an hour later and reading was 9.3 😱 Going to walk it off...

Apart from cherries and strawberries are there any other low GI fruits.

All berries are low GI to greater or lesser extent.

Any juicy fruit may apparently raise blood glucose, but actually just leave juice on fingers.

Better to test after 2 hours, as you'd probably be within limits by then. Was the clementine part of a meal?

Enjoy your walk!

Thank you for feedback - it was a snack this afternoon; been to training all day and I don't usually have so much bread; had a ham sandwich with rocket/watercress/spinach (no spread) and a couple of spring onions. About an hour later I had the clementine during the afternoon break. (had toast for breakfast...)

For a snack during the morning break I had a couple of gluten free oatcakes and a handful of walnuts.

I don't normally snack but I thought it better than my stomach gurgling....

Walk was good now going on the treadmill for 30mins - evening class has been cancelled.....😡

I'm sure you will have done, but did you wash your hands before testing after the clementine? I've made that mistake before after citrus fruit and got a very scary reading before realising what the problem might have been 😱
