8.4 but taken 3hrs after a really bad night sleep. 4.4 now (9am).
Tummy grumbling but cannot taste anything. I hate eating because I have to.

January is a fun month for reducing fbgs. Keep at it as they will come down with less carbs.

A very good morning to everyone. 5.5 fbs at 7.00 a.m. Off to have a hearty breakfast of a small bowl of oatmeal, strawberries and nuts, plus a slice of whole grain toast with smoked salmon and avocado with a dash of creamed cheese. Also had a piece of my biscotti. Of course I drown it with a hot cup of home brewed coffee with 2 percent milk.

Hi keesha does drowning it in hot coffee help to reduce the biscotti's effect on blood sugar. I am new so sorry if it's a silly question.

 

[Keesha]

Not at all. Must have coffee for breakfast, just a habit of mine. I like to have something sweet in the morning to feel satisfied

4.4 today - had a better morning than yesterday when I posted my BG and went for my usual walk and FELL IN THE POND at the park! Had to walk home (very rapidly) soaking from head to foot!

Lesson #1 learnt - don't get distracted by an alarm on your phone when walking near water!

Already had my walk today - a nice safe (and dry) trip to Tescos and back
