After dinner glass of red wine seems to help.... or just displace.... never too sure!
As long as you enjoyed it all good. I'm very suspicious of wine - says the man with >200 bottles and currently drinking 700 mls bulletproof coffee: mct oil, butter, double cream:arghh:. I blame the ear bashing about not using mct oil or nutri bullet. The things we do for love - or a quiet life:banghead:

That bulletproof sounds like corrugated iron! :angelic:

Agree with you - no idea if it’s helpful or displacement but I’ll drink it either way because I really enjoy it.
Great fbg by the way, however you arrived at it.

4.4 but 1st scan with my new libre and it can tend to read low although it was early (@6am) and our Dawn hadn't time to kick in. ;-)

It was 5.5 by 10.05am having had a coffee and cream

Still good @Debandez. Dawn seems to last from about 7am until 1pm around here!!

Good morning all.

4.8 for me today.

@DJC3 -- You are such a kind person and always so supportive of others. As to fasting blood sugars, I have noticed that for me, it helps if I don't eat too much at night (though, of course, that doesn't mean I always manage to do this).

What a lovely thing to say Ziggy thank you. I think you’re right about evening eating - the earlier the better, but it doesn’t always fit in with the rest of the family coming home from work. ( and I’m not organised enough to manage it half the time)
