I don't understand how you were managing oats and flour if you say a drop of milk in a cuppa effects your levels, carbs in milk are negligible especially with the fat content as well
 
14-06-19
breakfast: two eggs scrambled with butter and an avocado, my own nut granola. two cups of tea.
lunch: we ate out, self service with a difference, choose your meal, packed in kilner jar, They heat it up and deliver to table. MrS had chicken risotto, mine was duck and orange. Came with a colourful collection of vegetables. Delicious and filling. Didnt really need any more food, but had a couple of chicken pieces and a glass or two of wine, just to be sociable and keep up the protein. nibbled on walnuts as well

yes but you were and what seemed liked for quite some time, your saying that in your experience milk has effected you but you cant actually say that for certain due to the things you used to eat which were most probably the cause rather than a splash of milk in a cuppa

That lunch sounds interesting where did you go out of interest? :D
 
New place for us, restauraunt/deli/florist/wedding venue/boucherie/bar/boulangerie all in one building on an industrial estate in St Hilaire du Harcourt.
its a great concept, they do burgers and chips, cook to order, but all the more complicated mains and all the starters and desserts are pre made self service selection.
Can have either starter and main, or main and dessert with a glass of house wine for 12.80 Euros.

do you keep yourself well hydrated and do exercise? eat fibre as well

I don't see what your problem with a 5.6 fasting is though

Of course I did follow all advises but still the problem
I thought might be the reason for that is Gluten free toast !!!!
And fasting BG should be less than 5.5

I’ve always been advised and researched that fasting blood sugars should be between 4-7 and 8.5 or less two hours after eating so 5.6 is absolutely fine.
