Well today was a better day even though I tried to ruin it.

Pre breakfast 5.8 no 2hrs after as we were out shopping
Pre lunch 5.9, 2hrs after 6.5
Pre evening meal 5.5, 2hrs after 7.2

Lunch time I had a large portion of quiche (shop bought) and some small ham and cheese corissants, I had to wash my van after lunch (think large Ford Transit sized van) so that helped pull the two hour reading down to 6.5. Evening meal was a large roast with roast potato's and fresh cherries after.

Hi Rose, your results look good to me... currently I seem to be running a lot higher... I think the change in medication is partly to do with it.. but I also think that I am eating more what with it being cold and grey...and of course all the fun of Christmas

What did you have for lunch? Were you naughty?

What did you have for lunch? Were you naughty?

No I had a tried and tested meal - I had home made crustless bacon & cheese quiche and salad with mayo - nothing I haven't eaten before. I didn't drink anything but water until my 2hr test.. The only thing I can thank of that was different was that about an hour and a half after lunch I had to walk down to our other office - it was a 15minute round journey - so I don't think that should have affected me. I washed my hands before testing also - but I couldn't test again as I didn't bring enough strips with me.. which reminds me that I must order some more

 

[cairnlady]

Well, fasting (before breakfast) 6.3
Forgot to test before lunch.
Went out with friend for lovely carvery lunch of Turkey, gammon, two small roast potatoes, peas, cauliflower, but was naughty and had lemon meringue (did not eat crust) and ice cream. Had diet coke to drink.
Two hours later 7.6. (Following a 30 minute walk with dog!)

Have only just started testing so now have someting to aim below!!

 

[Bluetit1802]

Fasting 5.6
after breakfast 6.5
Then Oh dear. Went out to lunch with daughter, only to local café bar and wasn't hungry. I had 2 poached eggs on a single piece of bloomer wholemeal toast with loads of butter, and 2 glasses of tap water. Nothing else.
Didn't test before but average pre-lunch is 5.6
1 hour 7.6
2 hours 9.0
2.5hrs 9.6
3hrs 6.3 after a walk in a howling gale.

I often have this meal at home (with my own Hovis Seed Sensations) with never above a 1mmol/l rise at any time. I just do not understand why it went so high. Clearly the type of bread caused it, and according to the internet it is high in carbs, but even at 20g that was a ridiculous rise.

EDIT back to the 5's at 3hrs 20 mins

 

[Patricia21]

What does it feel like (a liver dump) ?

What does it feel like (a liver dump) ?

I feel all shaky like I am about to hypo then I don't- if that makes sense- sort of feel warm.

Just wondered as I never get "feelings", high, low, liver dumping etc. But I've never been lower than 4 or higher than 12 (both only once)

 

[Patricia21]

I have never been lower than 4 or higher than 9,but always feel shaky before my evening meal about 6pm,and test about 5,so I dont understand.,Its the only time of day I feel strange.
