1/8 - Morning.

6.1

6.0 today - hardly surprising its up - got this blasted cold that's doing the rounds of the office - bah bumbug. Still could have been worse.. One good thing is the scales are finally showing that have lost weight. Its official - I've hit the 10 stone mark! I seem to have been stuck on 10 stone 4 for ages! Only another 1½ stone to go.

Morning chaps and chapetts, 7.1 today

Sent from my SM-G935F using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

Snap 7.1, a bit high but a bit stressed. Enjoy your day folks

6.6 this morning. The full Pizza Express experience last night is to blame! Still just 1 more day of holidays and then back to my regular diet; hopefully all will return to the normal fives in a few days.

Enjoy yourself. You work hard for your numbers so you should be able to relax a bit on holiday.

Congratulations on your weight loss. It's weird, they're just numbers, but it's so satisfying breaking these barriers.

So very true - once you are over the hump its fine - but sometimes it seems like a huge slog to get there!

Welcome.

5.9 this morning. Although most folks would be happy for the last few weeks I've been getting 4's or very low 5's. I haven't changed my diet. ( I've been low carbing for a year now).

 

[James13]

Thanks for the messages of support folks.

9.0 this morning at 10am (yes I get up late and start work late).

At 11:30 with no food/drink (apart from water) it had gone up to 11.4. Hmmm.

5.2 this morning.

Good Morning! 6.7 at 0720.
I've often been in the high 6s recently, and my weight has been creeping upwards which is probably related, so I'm starting a fast today to try to bring both down again before my annual HbA1c which is due in September.

As your diet changed lately Prem?

 

[Keesha]

8.1 this morning. Must be doing something odd. Perhaps it's the cherries I have been enjoying so much! 7.45am 31st July 2017

Yes, too many cherries will push up blood sugar, just have a few will do.

I've been eating ice cream after evening meal most nights.
I was going to buy 4 tubs of Haagan Das today as it's on offer for £2.50 at Waitrose, but have now abandoned that plan.
