These may be worth a try but tastes vary so don't hold me to that.

Not doing well but a combination of poor sleep and too many carb will do that 8.9 yesterday and 8.7 today .

Hang in there. You test and post here so you aren't ignoring things. It'll shine when it shines.

7.9 this morning. Doctor's appointment cannot come quickly enough for me. My Freestyle Libre packed up and fell off too , new one in the post. In other news, I got my uni assessement done thank goodness and the sun is starting to peek through the clouds here in London. Hope everyone has a fab day.

ps. I have just discovered the banging head against wall emoji. Very useful at the moment.

Edited to remove random comma which was driving me nuts

Hope you realise you're helping me to avoid sweet stuff. Made lemon drizzle cake yesterday for OH and a spare one in case I get up the courage to take one in for the Doc. He is such a nice guy to put up with me and a very good doctor to boot. Made it up to OH (he who says he is on a diet) and have a sweet mince tea loaf in oven at the moment.

Blood was in the 6s this morning until I remembered about the lemon cake and re-washed my hands as in scrubbed them - FBG then showed 5.6. Which I am happy with. For me it seems the trick is less food generally and perhaps less protein specifically as this seems to bring my levels down. I may try to reduce food intake for few days unless of course I succumb to hunger which is likely as I like my food!

The cake sounds lovely and you are more generous than I would be. I make Christmas cake for Mr PM but thats my limit. Its funny how we are all different re temptation. Sorry Mods to derail, my FBG was 6.7 earlier.

Hello all,

After almost 3 months of almost total lockdown (except groceries and other essential services), today was my first day out. So forgot to post in all this excitement. Fbg was 5.1 this morning.

7.5 - Loads better than yesterday’s UGLY 9.7! - Now, who’d have thought I’d now be wistfully pining for the Land o’ The Sticky-Sixes?

Yesterday I gave myself some AMAZON Shopping-Therapy for my PC. Should be here today.

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All. 5.6 so sanity restored. @Estragon try not to worry, going in the right direction and Diabetes likes to throw a tantrum!

Bit like the Two-Year-old, who’s being ignored in Sainsbury’s? Maybe without the glass of red wine last night, I could’ve reached down into the Sticky-Sixes.

Good morning all.

4.9 today.

Hello one and all.

Mrs Hj had her AZ yesterday and all is fine. That's the three of us done with the first round.
