8.4 this morning at 7am.
I am happy with that.
Yesterday I took readings all day at various points...
My fasting reading yesterday at 7 am was 8.5.
I had scrambled eggs and cheese at 9 am.
But an hour later I felt strange, not funny or ill, but I feeling I get when I enter the 6's.
I am rarely a 6, and when I get that feeling state I go for a blood sugar prick reading. And it is a 6.
I was 7.4 before lunch which was piles of vegetables in butter (not sauce because the sauce sends my readings high) and chicken breast.
An hour after lunch I was 6.7, so I decided I was okay to have a small trifle and cream, and blueberries and flaxseeds and chia seeds on top (and a wee bit grated chocolate...bliss).
I didn't eat again, but took a reading at 7 pm and that was 7.3. So that was good.
I woke up in the middle of the night, 2am and was curious what my reading was then, whether it had gone up or down...it was 8.8.
I didn't take another reading until 7 am this morning and it was 8.4, so I am guessing if I had taken a reading at dawn it would have been 9.something.
I am on 3 x 500mg metformin and 1 sitagliptin (can't spell that without finding the packet) a day.
I was curious why my body feels different when I come into the 6's.
Anyway, have a good day. It is beautiful here in Wales, and I am going to feed the moggy and go and sit on my thatched swing (my partner brought it for me before he died 10 years ago), and I sit there with moggy and meditate and have happy memories. The nesting blackbirds object to my presence in my garden, but the little Jenny Wren is so friendly (I don't feed birds, there is enough natural stuff in my garden) and she comes very close to me (cat has his eyes shut, he is on my lap....).
