I recently introduced some carrots to my veg pile but noted my blood sugar after meals was in 6. 6 range Not bad but unusual, it is normally 5ish. I didn't have the carrots tonight and tested and it was 4 7. Unfortunately each time I forgot to test vefor the meal. But I thought a small amount of carrots would be ok, clearly okish but that's about it The other difference is I did about 30 mins of exercise after supper. Diabetes is a fickle mistress
 
6.6 is fine. There’s nothing dangerous about a post meal bg of 6.6

More than fine.
Normal BG is anything up to 8 two hours after a meal.

(I'm in charge of diabetes, it certainly isn't in charge of me)

Yes, I am sure overthinking is far more dangerous than eating carrots.... I know this because I am particularly good at it myself! 🙄
 
Reduce my intake of crisps. Sad but whatever
Reduce my intake of bread. Meh
Reduce my sweets/fizz/sugar. Couldn't care less.
Reduce my cakes. Not happy but ok
Potatoes. not happy

Reduce my intake of carrots. You'll have to fight me for them.

No I didn't even think to make one but if I did I'd have to have a prize for the closest. Direct messages with guesses are welcome tho
