[QUOTE="bakedalaska, post: 989324, member: 208147"] I also think there's a lot of hit and miss in it all - and we should certainly not obsess over the odd high one. For example having come off meds lost 13KG and been averaging out at around 6.1 with loads of 5s and never anything in the 7s I got a random reading of 9.4 the other day. Yikes - I nearly threw the meter down the bog and reached for the Glucophage!. Know what I had done? Simply enjoyed one small water size glass of so called "sugar free" grape juice. And liver. Yeah - the dear old liver is a law unto itself - but the poor chap has to do a multitude of complex functions and tends to stay healthy despite the **** we throw at it. I think of it like Gordon - the old locomotive in Thomas the Tank Engine.... My nephrologist told me that the lifelong abuse of Gordon with the wonderful wines and spirits of the world had appeared to make no difference to happy functioning. So, I hold by my theory that a wee dram last thing at night or a couple of glasses of dry red wine with supper or a couple of cans of Heineken does the trick. Since I started this regime my FBG has been as low as any in the day - whereas before it was always the highest. I think late night protein snacks can also help a bit but didn't always work for me - I couldn't rely on it - but alcohol seems very reliable. Never thought I'd be taking it medicinally - but I guess that's how it all began. By the way - try going out for a really normal nice dinner (but obviously without carbs) - seafood starter with a rich and creamy sauce, chicken and veg casserole in thick mushroom sause, and glutton's helpings of chocolate pud and then another helping of a strawberry gateau. BUT have a glass of wine with each course and you might be surprised by what happens when you get home. (E.g PPBG = 2 hours after that indulgence was 6.4 - Wahey!) Finally do avoid sex. Pre sex BG 5.2 Post sex BG 7.2. We also tested my g/f who is non diabetic and she had a similar rise from 3.4 to 4.9. Those naughty hormones love to see you BG cum up. (forgive the pun) [/QUOTE]
