Hi to everyone. 5.2 this cold Sunday morning.

The pepsi max would. Try using a sugar free mixer.

I thought pepsi max was sugar free? It says no sugar on the bottle. Would I be better with diet coke.

Woke at 4am, couldn't get back to sleep, mooched around the house and discovered half a box of chocolate brandy liqueurs left over from Christmas. Experienced a total loss of control and scoffed the lot.
Went back to bed. Tested at 7am. 9.2.
I am deeply ashamed...

Oh @debrasue weve all been there ... Had moments of going through my food cupboards recently thinking there MUST be chocolate in this house like a deranged animal! It happens, please don't be ashamed. You are a good, in control diabetic (ok usually ) so deserve a break once in a while x

Sugar free @mick180 . Unsure whether it stimulated glucogen release thou. Brain thinks its sugar (sweetners). If in doubt just drink none sweetened drinks. Although I have occasional sugar free fizzy drink.

Thanks @PenfoldAPD . I filled up on veg and cheese sauce with caramelised cheese on top, yum! (Double cream and cheddar cheese)

Good morning all. FBG 6.5 @ 0545

 

[Prem51]

Good Morning! Back to my usual figures with 6.4 at 0800 today.
But I shouldn't have had the two very sweet liqueurs they gave me in the bar last night, will decline next time (if I'm sober).

5.1

 

[Angelofthemarches]

Also 5.1, @Kimble73!

 

[PenfoldAPD]

Completely unexpected 6.9 today. Max 40g carbs yesterday (closer to 30 I think), but no time to swim or exercise Saturday/Sunday. Maybe that's the key? Sometimes wonder if I'll ever get this right

5.7 this morning at the start of a fasting day.
