5.9 today. At least I’m in the 5’s again.
ETA; My blood went up to 6.2 by 11:00an I made a Creatine shake and by 3:00pm I’m at 4.4.
What is a creatine shake ?
Good Morning Everyone BG this morning 6.8
Still higher than I like but I know it was trying the mini mince pie that did it, my BG shot to 11.1 2 hours after eating it.
Not had a mince pie since I started losing weight 12 months ago,so trial and error! Mostly error! K

Thanks! I came here to look for type one low carbers, as think I may be in trouble with a lower Hb1Ac and can do with some support. I am having fun browsing the posts here!
I'm sure you'll find what you need here NJ...as you know my T1 knowledge is pitiful...well non-existent TBH...good luck.

This diabetes is a puzzle sometimes,there are so many factors to consider stress sleep patterns and diet,just some of them.Once you get through the next few weeks you can concentrate on diet.The holiday in Spain will be a good thing,hope you have a great time.
@Glenmac and all of you a big hug and thank you for all your lovely support we are so looking forward to this holiday just what we need! K
