No more Lidl low GI seeded cob bread for me. Had 2 slices for tea with pork and a thin layer of stuffing. 1.5 hrs later I’m a shocking 11.6. I can’t remember going as high as this for a very very long time! Never again! 😱

Just found the value listing for it;

@Amigo. I got excited when I first saw the low GI cob in Lidl, until I tried it. Sent my BG higher than any other bread! They do low GI rolls too & they have the same affect.

B: 2 poached eggs on 1 slice toasted Burgen
L: 4 slices prosciutto with garlic & herb cheese
S: Nature Valley protein bar
D: Cottage pie with cauli/turnip mash. Got a great mashing attachment for our stick blender. Works wonders.🙂
Pud: Heavenly chocolate cake (recipe from Ditch The Carbs)

Relieved it wasn’t just me Mark. I’ll throw it out for the birds, I don’t think hyperglycaemia is a concern for them! :D
 
Yesterday I had half a tin of John West Kippers on a thin slice of home made nutty bread toasted on a bed of spinach for breakfast. Lunch was my wif'e home made chicken cacciatore with veg. Tea was the rest of the kippers with spinach, and later had a glass of hot milk with two crispbread with light laughing cow cheese.

I forgot again! When I get my food in front of me I'm just thinking of scoffing it down rather than taking pics. I will try again this evening. Still got some cake left.🙂

It's not a big hospital, it's a small health centre they are based at, there is no direct bus from my town to there so I have to go 10 miles in the opposite direction first, this would mean for a 2:30 appointment I would have to leave my house at 11:30 and it would in fact be more than 6 hours as I wouldn't get back until just after 6, I did a lot of research into it and its just not manageable x

That’s a shame @Kaylz after you fought so hard to get the initial appointment. As it’s just once a fortnight can you not just see it as a day out, do a bit window shopping, have a coffee, you know pleasurable things, obviously I don’t know what’s in this town. Do they have a nice park you go could to when the weather gets warmer ( eventually). Read a mag or book/kindle on the bus. Could your mum or a friend go with you perhaps? I don’t like to think you’re not getting the help you need. Xx
