5.8
Going easy on test strips for a while and only testing new meals until I get a few more tubs so will probably knock the morning one off for a bit.

Hello Friday people, an FBG 5.4 today. I’ve been for a swim and am now contemplating lunch before embarking on some domestic chores.
The GP didn’t do a HbA1c test last week, said I didn’t need one, just dished out more prescriptions. Slightly annoyed with myself for not insisting, if only to demonstrate to myself that all this stuff I’m doing is working. Trouble is in 10 mins there’s barely enough time to get through the essentials like taking the blood pressure, so by the time I’ve registered what he’s saying and ask, I’m on the other side of the door.

I have been putting off recording these readings, much like some of you here. My wee avatar was staring at me, urging me to keep going and not give up and chuck in the towel like last time.
So…

Evening @mojo37. Your FBG numbers seem to be creeping higher at the mo.11 this morning at 5.30
One approach is to have your last meal of the day earlier in the evening and avoid snacking afterwards.
Have you seen this challenge?
‘Stop Eating After 7pm’ Challenge
Who will join me? I intend to do this for the rest of January- 10 days and hopefully I’ll have broken the habit by then and carry on. I‘m not hungry, I suspect I’m bored and it’s becoming a habit. So I thought if there were a few of us that struggle with this it would be good to record our...

I appreciate it's not for everyone but, if practical, an earlier evening meal makes sense (combined with low carbing, obviously) for those type 2s striving to lower BG readings. It works wonders for those who can stick with it for a week or two and some of us sleep better too, as a result.
Good morning
Libre 4.6
Going to circuits & burnout spin at 7.30, back to doing burpees but not shuttle runs
Hugs to all in need

Thank you for your advise I know my numbers have been very poor over the last month or so and I also know the main reasons . Eating late is not one of them but thank you .Evening @mojo37. Your FBG numbers seem to be creeping higher at the mo.

Am I alive in the hive or stuck in the stickies? Either way, the numbers are going in the right direction after a week or more of unexpected bumps in the road.

Thank you @PenguinMum I will get back on the wagon . It is tempting not to test and record reading on here because I know they are going to be appalling.

@mojo37 Yay! So glad you have decided to continue logging your results here.
I was also at the point of not doing so, but my little avatar (coloured ball on the left of this post) reminded me of why I started. I need the support of the community here to get me through the tough times.

What’s your inspiration?
Apart from all the amazing people here who inspire me daily, my main inspiration (other than wanting to live long, with all my limbs and both eyes intact) is my avatar. If you look closely at the round rainbow ball by my name on the left of this post, you will see little lines at the top, both...
