No HS for me today, 5.8. Congratulations on yours @ColinUK @Gwynn and @Elenka_HM !
Sandwich experiment yesterday went well - approx 27/28g carbs total as the "Danish" bread is a bit less substantial than standard bread, and just under 3mmol rise in BG from 4.6 to 7.5 at the 2 hour mark. I definitely needed the veg (peppers and cucumber slices) to help make it take longer to eat the meal so my stomach registered that I had fed it, but with the water I drank with it and a coffee when I got back to the office it was enough to not make me crave a snack. I think I'll still stick to homemade soups and stews for work lunch most days (and salads when it warms up...)
