Morning!
So 5.7 this morning.
Slightly higher than I’ve been running recently but anything from high 4s to high 5s is good in my book.
So today is vacation day. Only away for 6 days and I’ve done a few experiments to get my coping mechanisms in place for not having strict control of my carbs but even so I’m expecting a bit of fluctuation.
As long as I’m not living in double figures the whole week I’ll be happy though.

Diabetes is a funny old thing: had the worst nights sleep for a long time last night, have a day full of stress and anxiety in front of me, yet I’ve come in at 4.9 - best reading I’ve had in a while. It’s a good start to the day and I’m hoping it’s not the only high point.
No rhyme, no reason: 6.1
But it’s okay

4.9 at 6AM, almost 60 hours into fasting.
@PenguinMum :
"LST strikes again" must be the headlines of our little "BBC - Bloodsugar Battling Community"
.
I have been reading a bit about the impact of temperatures on BG and by the looks of it there is a correlation between high temperature and high BG...
Have a lovely day everyone.

6.6. The only thing I can think of was a pitta bread I had last night with dinner at 5:30pm...

Winner for the blood result but hugs and well wishes for what will be potentially a day of stress.

.. 6.6 after a pitta bread... you did good mate... yours truly would have been hovering at 7s or 8s after such a daring adventure.

4.6 this morning,
Many thanks for hugs and good wishes @PenguinMum @ianpspurs and @Ryhia I’ll let you know tomorrow if it turns into a Champagne day!
@nutribolt and PenguinMum I’m loving the LST headlines on the BBC ( but hugs for the effects) hope the clocks go back soon.

15.1 I honestly have no idea why my morning blood sugar is always so high (between 11 and 15) and comes down if I don't eat by lunchtime to about 7-8. My doctor advises I lose weight and I have only lost a stone so far but this is not improving.on Metformin twice a day for over two years now.....any advice?
