Morning all, summer schummer. Flat 5 on Swipey @Estragon for fbg and immense salad. Hug for people not being near a Waitrose. Bit of a pain driving the Range Rover 10 miles but hopefully that is what levelling up meansSome very small people in Newmarket, wonder if the water is orf?

Another alternative widely available is

Just had bacon, egg, baked beans and 1 slice of burgen; Was 8.2 2 hrs after. Do you think the bread or the beans? X.

Likely the beans I miss them! There are some good sausages Waitrose 1 and I think Sainsburys Taste the Difference pack of 12 are same recipe they are 1.1g carbs per sausage and very nice. Do you like fried mushrooms they are nice addition. When on hols I have s rambled egg, fried mushrooms and 1 tomato as a treat brekkie.

7.6 this morning. Had my pneumoccoccol vaccine yesterday, on top of feeling a bit under the weather. It has absolutely knocked me for six so not surprised.

Hey guy, keep comfortable. Drink water. If you were near (?) id be dropping of my Mum’s chicken soup.

 

[HeliGary]

wow so impressed, wish I could run…wouldn’t make to the top of the road. Do you find your glucose levels drop after a run?

No they don’t, I thought they would when I first started , but they always seem to rise by about 1.2-1.3 after running.

I always run having fasted overnight ,

I was 6.4 at 0300 , 6.9 at 0800 and 8.2 after 3.6k this morning as an example.

Ahhh interesting. Mine seems to shoot up after intense exercise too like HIIT. 45 minute moderate effort exercise on the bike brings it down
