Were you hypo at bedtime? 35gcarb sounds a lot to me if you weren't.

No I wasn't however I know my body and how it reacts so the 27g carbs were needed for me overnight I'm afraid xx
 
Fair enough, but 27g carb increases my BG by 8.0 and biscuits get there pretty quick, so that much would be way OTT.

but as we know we're all different and my Libre graph shows it doesn't have that effect on me, so... and I wasn't higher when I woke or else I wouldn't do it xx

Hey - look at that day of yours!! Brilliant.

Yesterday.

Brunch: Lamb steak, broccoli and my new discovery - celeriac crisps!!!
Use a peeler or somesuch to get very thin slivers of celeriac.
Shallow fry in extra virgin olive oil until they turn golden and shrivel up a bit.
Sprinkle with salt - exactly like crisps but nicer.

Evening:
Yorkshire ham - 4 slices with more celeriac crisps and a dip made of the green part of a spring onion and some dill and cream cheese and mayonnaise and a three inch chunk of cucumber.

Made a pudding with almond flour and erythritol and cream cheese mixed with double cream and a no sugar orange jelly.

During the day drank water, decaff coffee and ate 10 no sugar Werthers originals.

Did 70 minutes exercise - I've got a new exercise app to learn table tennis so I did lots of that and a bit of Beat Saber and Boxing.
 
I had a horrible but tasty relapse yesterday with poor portion control:

Pre breakfast: 7.8
brekkie: handful berries and greek style yoghurt
Pre-lunch: 6.5
lunch: 300g belly pork, 1/2 tin mashed butter beans (cooked with onion and garlic), green beans, leeks and peas coated in honey/mustard dressing.
Post lunch: 10.2
wasn't hungry. so skipped tea.
Drinks - 4 milky teas/water.
Bed: 7.2

Gotta say lunch tasted divine but probably won't be buying belly pork again soon!

How would the belly pork have increased your BG ? More likely to have been the butter beans as far as I know. And of course the honey.

I'm blaming the honey even though I can't have had more than 1/2 teaspoon on those leeks. Either that or I'm very sensitive to peas. The butter beans should still have been only about 26g carbs. Still learning all of this. What wigged me out was checking the fat content of the pork and realising the portion should have been about 1/4 of the size! I've lost about 20lbs so far since early January - not keen to undo that work.
