L - home made vegetable soup (celeriac, onion, leek and cauliflower) with grated cheese and a couple of Ryvita
D - baked cod fillet, dauphinoise potatoes, green beans, carrots. Small banana
Have had around 150g of carbs today, not sure if I should be aiming for less? Am still losing a pound or two a week, and my BMI is now within normal range

I make a lot of soup & know pretty much what effect it has on my BS depending on whether it is & to what degree it’s blended. With my veg soup I find it raises my BS more quickly the more blended it is. So, I compromise & blend it a little bit.
This is the first time I’ve ever put cream in this soup & fully blended it smooth. I read on these forums that the fat in cream helps to slow things down. Also, it’s only recently, 14/03/18, that I’ve injected before meals when I’ve medicated straight after eating for 17 years. I usually inject 15-20mins before but, it took longer to make the soup this morning so, it ended up being 45mins by the time I ate. Is that too long?
What has surprised me today is that although the peak is less than it would otherwise be, because of the cream, it stayed at that level afterwards. Which impacted on the rest of the day. In this instance, would it have been better to inject just before eating or, even after eating? The effects on BS was delayed but, lasted much longer.

Seeing that you had leftovers today took me back to the days when my Mother in law used to have 'resurrection days', when all the odds and ends left from previous meals had to be eaten up 🙂
