The all you can it buffet - seems it can be done!

So - I had an interview today, and thought I'd treat myself to dindins at the chinese buffet.

I was certainly much more careful than I would have been before, but still had a good feed, and a few naughties...

Started with a few bits of the battered lemon chicken (mmmmmm), and a couple of barbecue ribs, moved onto the tepanyaki section - a good helping of rice noodles, mushrooms and peppers - with just one slice of beef and chicken, and a few prawns

finished off with 3 large thai style mussels, and a small scoop of beef curry, I didn't clean the plate of all the extra sauce like I used to...

I walked home (20mins) from the train station, and took a reading (about 1.5 1.5 hrs after) - 5.2 (hadn't had my meter foir a before reading), took my metformin, and an hour later it was 7.5

gonna do another test at 3.5hrs (about half an hour) but it looks ok...

now - the last time I went there - I had 2 plate fulls of starters, 2 (huuuuge) plate fulls of tepanyaki stuff, and a load of the other dishes (followed by iuce cream)...

Sounds like a splendid feast, with not too many repercussions! Diabetes Master has trained you well, grasshopper! 😉

Glad you enjoyed it without too many problems - was just thinking what a nightmare to carb count that though - has anyone who does carb count ever attempted such a thing? Interesting experiment
