Good numbers philHappy New year everyone, 5.9 today.
Yes, you should test immediately on getting up. Taking a shower or any other activity will make your BG go up.

@Hi Troubled1 dry and light winds looking like rain for later here but never so blooming cold has where you are, hope you have some holidays due to relax a bit with family now Christmas is over. Your BG levels are well in range, wish mine where lower but after today it's back to watching what I eat and some fasting has my diabetic review is coming up in January need to get rid of the Christmas and New Year foods I've eaten some way.Again wishing you a fabulous 2018 and take care when your out and about in the weather conditions you drive in! If I sound like your mother that's because I'm old enough to be it!K
Posted a photo of me when I was 4stone heavier than I am now, will update me Has I am now at a later date no photos of me since losing the weight! K
I just cannot get my head around people T2 or T1 insulin or no insulin spend their entire day, testing re testing, testing....what can you do if your numbers are higher before lunch after lunch, are you going to run off to the doc?
I dont have the worry of an up down, testing daily, hourly, before bed, wake up, after shower oh my goodness, you dont have life surely giving oneself depression, worry anxiety stress because a number may not be what you expect or want, numbers go up or down diabetic or non diabetic for goodness sake.
@Granny_grump_ we just learned our daughter’s martial arts school is closing down. She now wants to join an MMA school and get into competitive fighting. I set up a heavy bag for her that I had from when my wife and I were in Tai Kwondo and she’s been going at it as part of her daily 90 minute workout. We truly think she gets high on her workouts.
@Troubled1 Hi again she sounds a great daughter and I'm sure your both very proud of her she seem to have got her head screwed on right,our youngest son got his son into sports at 4 years old rugby of all things he loved it. He went on to be a premier league rugby player and played for Widnes Vikings, but when he was acting captain they played a game against Warrington Wolves and he collided with another player and smashed his knee clean in half he had surgery to repair it and got himself match fit within 6 months and played again but the knee went again and he realised it was the end of his professional career with lots of upset. He was then offered a career Has coach for the Widnes Vikings under 19s training them,and now he is head coach for them so he is still connected to rugby but on a different pathway. That's life isn't it but my heart goes out to him for we all know he would go back to playing in a heartbeat if he had the choice. So encouraged your daughter and support her in her choices for we never know what is round the corner. And watch that junk! Says she who's done exactly the same But it's Christmas and New Year so I think we can forgive ourselves and move on? K5.8 this morning. I’m baffled!! Yesterday was my mother’s birthday. We went for a visit and there was junk food everywhere. So I ate it. Got home and my wife made chicken but I was too full of junk to eat.
Later in the evening we watched a couple movies and I got into some more junk. The only good things I had yesterday was coffee with cream and berries with cream.

@rayhigginson it's not everyone's cup of tea but fasting is my way of controlling BG,excepting this time of year I've done ok,I don't eat after evening meal until late morning or early lunchtime next day 16 to 18 hours sometimes longer if I need to. But if you drive for a living you would need to make sure your BG doesn't drop less than 5 or you could have a false hypo, just test throughout your fasting periods if that's the way you take. Is it due to your job you are not always able to eat what you know wouldn't raise your BG? Is this why you cannot get them always within range? K7.7 @ 13:36 but haven’t eaten in over 12 hours
Thank you Karen, wished I'd been able to lose the weight when I was younger, but better late than never eh ! Klovely photo kathleen xx
