Hi all, I was thinking recently that it might be good if we had a sub-forum here similar to the fitness logs, where we could post details of meals and the effect on blood sugars. It'd contain entries somewhere along these lines: 28.02.2008 Breakfast 8am B/S: 5.0 (;)) Flahavans Quick Oats Carbs: 26 Fats: 3 Cals: 128…

Hi all,

I was thinking recently that it might be good if we had a sub-forum here similar to the fitness logs, where we could post details of meals and the effect on blood sugars. It'd contain entries somewhere along these lines:

28.02.2008 Breakfast 8am
B/S: 5.0 (;))

Flahavans Quick Oats
Carbs: 26
Fats: 3
Cals: 128

Insulin: for carbs: 2, for correction: 0

b/s @ 10am 6.5

effect: +1.5

Would people be interested in that kind of info (both reading and posting?)

I don't want to do it for the sake of it, or ask for it and then not use it. Really I want to build up a store of information on nutrition in various foods, and compare the way it affects others bloods. Any thoughts?

I think that it would be a great idea, the only thing is that you would be shocked how little I eat (normally only eat one small meal a day).
