Ah! Vince, that made me laugh! The image of you stuffing your face from boredom with snickers! :D

The diabetes fairy can be very contrary & defies logic at times!

I think your pancreas panicked at all the snickers & pumped out all the insulin it could!

Love the sound of the Greek meal! Must give that a go! 🙂
 
B. 2 slices of wholemeal bread with the last of the Brussels pate and a large coffee .
L. Cheese , apple and sparkling water
D . Not hungry.
S. Cheese @nd onion sarnie and coffee.

Then later on to my utter shame, I gave in to an attack of the munchies and one pack of yummy salted and roasted Macadamia nuts annnnnd a chunky peanut butter kit Kat disappeared into my tum. Thankfully I managed to resist the cheese and onion quiche that was trilling to me from the fridge.

Well, Went to a very boring meeting at a Taiwanese company and the conference table was loaded with goodies. When I say boring I mean mind numbing, technical jargon and in mandarin. So, out of boredom Vince got carried away and had 11 mini Snickers bars and 3 mini dark Dove choc bars.
Tested about 1hour 15 mins after which was also my pre-lunch test and got a 10.7 on the Richter Scale lol. That doesn’t surprise me at all.
Tested 2 hours post lunch and blow me it was 5.0.
Tested again different hand and that gave me a 5.1.
Totally stunned me.
