7.2 at 7:30 soon I am going to Florence, if I can find out and exercise all the documenting and online stuff besides the EU-covid pasport updated less than 48 hours with a PCR-test before entering the country... I think I'll only bring my pills and not measure my blood for that week, hope for eggs and cheese for breakfast , have read the Italians only eat croissants or other cakes for breakfast..But of cause I'll walk a lot these days

Morning All. 6.6.

More like summer in Forest Heath today. Unwelcome 5.3 for me today but >1 hr later waking, higher sleep score and lower resting pulse. Red meat isn't all bad for me but really does need limiting - once a fortnight?. Gourmet Kitchen burgers - well they were burgers so probably can't sue. Chin up @DJC3, @PenguinMum and @Andydragon, she'll be right.

4.4 at 6AM and 5.5 right now. Aspirin can do that to the BG numbers for me and I had 2 tablets 200mg each again last night.

I am trying to avoid taking paracetamol if I can help it as that has the opposite effect on BG numbers from what I have observed in past. Will need to wait and see.

Have a great day everyone.

Winner for the numbers but hugs for the cold.

Wonderful to hear from you and know that Madam is so well behaved today. Take the very best care of yourself. I insist.

6.4

Question as a newcomer to the world of T2 especially with meter testing myself:
I am eating to a relatively low carb diet - should I be expecting spikes after eating? Yesterday, my levels were no higher than 6.4 and no lower than 5.8 - tested pre each meal and post each meal.

 

[Andydragon]

Today better at 5.5

5.2 or thereabouts - meh. Not quite a steaming pile of wombat doo but a miss is as good as a mile.
