There you go the sauce is full of sugary stickiness , chips full of potato and curry sauce well thats just urgh full stop lol, how about trying sweet potato its really nice mashed or I do wedges sometimes .

 

[Carlton Costello]

Will try those thanks ile have to cook them before i get the delivery in future lol how come my sugars went so low at night though

 

[Steff]

Thats something I dont know the answer to im afraid.

Funny, but before I was diagnosed, I was having terrible bowl problems & it always tended to be worse after eating sauces.

I don't touch sauces at all now as they are normally full of sugar / carbs.

What medications are you using & how long was it after the meal when you went to bed ?

 

[Carlton Costello]

Metformin 3 day went bed 5 hours after

Watch out for sweet potato, it is higher in carbs than normal potatoes and so can cause massive spikes if you are susceptible to it - some people seem to be able to eat it without spikes, but like porridge it is always wise to test yourself to see how you react.

 

[Derek Stubbs]

I've found out that porridge gives me a big spike & then followed by lows, but eggs & mushrooms don't, so that's one food I can now eliminate

 

[Carlton Costello]

Fantastic well done
