What...and subject you to all that temptation?...okay...send the post code...always feel safe making a huge batch to take to our office...only here overnight...then gone the following day...however...best laid plans...looks like I'll be working today...won't be able to take them until tomorrow...ooh...will have to restrain myself this evening...that's what I get for being smug:angelic::angelic::angelic:.
 
Good morning all. Blood sugars were 5.3 today.

@karen8967 -- Great that your blood sugars have settled and that you back to your old self. Must have been scary.
@Ymdawd -- I can empathize. All the Xmas goodies in the supermarkets. My husband is into marzipan this year and I realized I really miss it.
@LittleGreyCat -- I have observed the same thing. If I don't exercise (usually when I am too lazy), I see my fbg increase by 0.5 to 1 mmol. I figure it is probably a combination of higher glucose stores in the liver and the muscles becoming less insulin sensitive.

mmmm pie. Day dreaming about them now. Odd how day dreams change over the years. a few years ago my day dreams most certainly not include pie!!
 
Good morning everyone
BG today 6.3
We had a lovely day out hubby and me yesterday included foods we love but shouldn't have hence higher readings.
We started out by taking a train to Manchester Christmas Market,but ended up on another train to York lunch in Cosmo's included bite sized pieces of delicious cake,tiny cake honestly!!
Afternoon snack in Betty's Tea Room we had 1/2 toasted tea cake and 1/2 scone each just butter with them,and believe me that's a very restrained snack in Betty's their cakes are to die for. Not. Literally!haha! Have a lovely day everyone. K

My dear boy, you are far too young. Lets just say they included a lot of baby oil and leave it at that.

I have just rang my GP and cancelled this Friday's appointment for ear syringing. As soon as I read your post my ears popped like champagne corks :)

morning all. I am 6.4 today. Don't really know what to do about this. I was in low 5s and sometimes 4s. Went away for a week a stopped testing and started eating. Now cant get the numbers down again.
I am glad it was only a week!!
Any advice???

Happened to me a couple of months back...got an infection from an insect bite...had antibiotics...felt unwell so had comfort food...levels went up...initially did the small protein snack before bed...worked okay...now doing a bit of intermittent fasting...eating early in the evening...then nothing until breakfast...numbers coming down...slowly...but heading in the right direction at last...either one of those might be worth a try...the first few days are the hardest...but...then it becomes routine.
