[Baruney]

Morning all

6.7 fasting.

got on the scales - looks like I have some work to do then! Not too bad - But a bit more dicipline required.

Good morning all . This is more like a proper time to get up first time this week it's been after 02.30 hrs
This morning it was amazingly 4.5
But it seems I've put on 4 lbs this week

 

[JAY1JAY1]

6.7 this morning. A bit higher than the last few days, no idea why but will record it and carry on

Your still doing well loulou

[RobOwen]

Oh dear!
Fasting 7.8
2 hours after full fat Greek joghurt 7.0
Have got an appointment with my Endo beginning June. Perhaps she will increase the Trajenta.
My last HbA1c was 5.6 % and I will have another one then.

A disappointing 7.9 this morning after 5.1 last night

 

[hankjam]

4.7 am, pre 5.0 post 5.4

 

[WeeFergus]

Good morning all. My fasting reading was 6.7 after a 5.4 bedtime one. It seems my 100ml red wine didn't work last night!

The 5.4 bedtime reading was probably quite accurate as my previous reading had been a 6.1 and I hadn't eaten anything since my after dinner test at 7.8.

5.3 this morning (23/05/15)

Probably the aftermath of the chocolate digestives I ate yesterday

5.5 this morning

 

[catinahat]

Good morning everyone
7·8
Had a busy day yesterday, we took the grandkids to the Harry Potter exhibition at Warner brother's studios.
We stopped for fish & chips on the way home, which explains the high numbers this morning.
First time this year I've been to the chipy, they were delicious but I think it will be a while before I go again.

4.9

6.1 this morning. I did a lot of testing yesterday. Basically with a deliberately indulgent lunch including 85% cocoa solids chocolate and a nice lump of cheese plus peanuts on top of cold chicken and a salad (1100 calories and 19g carbs) I experienced a BG rise of almost 3 units. so a bit disappointing. In the morning for breakfast I had a low carb flax/linseed muffin made with egg and an additional egg; 450 calories and 5g carbs. I started off with a BG of 5.3 and 2 hours later it was 6.0. For supper I had salmon and a few prawns with vegetables and a cream sauce (730 calories and 10g carbs) and BG went from 5.3 to 6.3. It seems by BG stabilises at around 5.3 which is basically what I find it to be before meals.

Your blood glucose readings for breakfast and lunch are all great!

You've made some good observations about how your blood glucose levels seem to stabilise.

The rise at lunch may well be to do with too much protein? I recall briefly looking at our post on the what have you eaten thread. If I remember correctly you ate a large amount of protein as well as it being a high calorific lunch.

I think you know - but, I'll mention it any way - over 50% of protein can be converted to blood glucose. So that may have played a significant role in your 3+ mmol / L rise.

Still, you seem to be monitoring well and finding out what works for you - good stuff!
