Thanks Barbara. It is a lot to take in isn't it and some days find it overwhelming.

I'm learning all the time you will get there it's just finding out what spikes you that's why testing is invaluable . Tonight I had 6 Maltesers for my treat lol normally I'd eat the whole bag but in all honestly I'm not hungry and would of eaten then for the sake of it normally.

I know what you mean. I haven't had any chocs since February. Funnily haven't craved it partly cos of fear of not knowing if I can stop myself and if my sugars will spike. I will eventually invest in a glucose meter. I also suffer from anxiety which in turn affects my gastric problems causing me discomfort. Sometimes when I read about diabetes I get paranoid about everything. Will get there in the end.

Is the choc every day you have or once a week?

It really depends on my moods but not daily

I have made banana loaf with walnuts, replacing the flour with ground almonds and Erythritol ( fairly expensive sugar substitute) and it's very edible. I eat it cold with a wee drop butter or it's lovely warmed through in the microwave with fresh cream and a few strawberries or raspberries. This is BG friendly for me but might spike another person.

Thank you. That sounds quite delicious

Trouble is banana's either work well for you or don't that's why the key is testing, bananas can spike levels quite badly x

Don't I know it 😱

So the best thing is to test and see.
