@Lanny 100ml Tesco double cream is only 1.6g carb not 3.6g but I'd go easy on it as with the fat content it could really mess with your levels, the cream alone has 50g fat in before you've even thought about adding anything else so maybe reduce the amount of cream next time xx
 
Thanks, Kaylz. I’m writing down the carbs but, I don’t really know what they mean yet. Just got my letter from the dietian yesterday about booking an appointment for the next 4-8 weeks. Rang yesterday morning but, was still closed for Easter. Will wait til 09:00 to ring again.

I’d noticed the effect on my BS the whole day. So, will stick with the tried & tested soup recipe I know!
