Biscuits etc.

I must admit, I’ve just learned how many units of insulin I need to bolus for a brew and a couple of familiar biscuits. Almost equates to the number of seconds a dunk takes before collapse.🙂
 
If I do have a biscuit it would be a ginger nut. Not had any for a while do like a dunk though lol
 
I have not found a low carb biscuit yet.
 
You’re right, Drummer, there aren’t any. None that go with a sit down, cup of tea and a fag (sorry, vape) anyway. :D
 
I actually find that the Belvita biscuits don't spike my levels. I was very sceptical when they claimed this, but in my case at least it does appear to be true 🙂
 
Aye, but those paricular ‘biscuits’ are touted as breakfast bars rather than a snack. That’s outside the remit of the thread.

I don’t know what they do to the cranberry and orange in that particular flavour, but they contain no Vitamin C. None. Not even a trace. Plenty of other vitamins, in suspiciously even amounts, so I guess they are all added in. There’s no real way of telling whether they are vegan, perhaps one of our vegans could tell us.
 
There are low carb crackers you can bake quite easily - maybe cracker and cheese would be an option?
 
Malted milk biscuits have a lower carb content than some other biscuits, about 5g if I'm not mistaken.

My personal preference is a Foxs Rocky which requires 1u of insulin.
 
i like the malted milk biscuits, Sainsbury’s own tea biscuits and their digestive, have tried them all this week so I am quite happy now that I have something to have with my coffee, just breaks the boredom a little. I had a rather nice dessert after tea last night. I buy a lot of berries as these are my favourite fruits, I love fruit, but have never been keen on bananas, grapes, apples and pears, so I never buy those. Last night into a bowl I put one kiwi sliced, blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and a few pomegranate seeds, then I crushed 2 digestive biscuits over, followed by some pouring organic double cream ———-it was relish!
 
Love biscuits, it's got to be a proper one though - choccy digestives are the best. Lotus biscuits? Nah, never been a biscuit. They're far too small. It's the sort of thing found on the drinks making tray in hotel rooms or the side of your coffee saucer in a restaurant. Just give me a proper biscuit. :D

And those Lotus biscuits if in the tea tray will be gone in a minute. They are lovely, but a plain choc digestive trumps all, and I can use one of those before a walk with glee.

Plain or milk chocolate, I don't care. Quite like a chocolate hobnob as well. :D
 
What are Lotus biscuits ?
 
Oh, now I know them, they’re delicious too. I can get them from Waitrose, unfortunately as the nearest Waitrose is 40 miles away, and they don’t deliver to my area. But now that I recognise them I’m sure I can get them.

Our local co-op sell them too.
 
Thanks Robin next time I am in town where there is one co-op only, I’ll have a wee look.
