Enjoy your day everyone

8.6 going in the right direction at last

8.2 - Meah… stuck again. This “string” of eights is hitting my 365 day average, which I set for myself of 5.8 <>7.0 now down to only 29%. Ouch! These Hateful Eights are starting to concern me. I really can’t see this as being solely diet. Time for an even stronger, relevant review.

5.0 today. Have a nice day everyone

Your posts don't look it either. Happy birthday Debbie's daughter.

Morning All. 7.8 this morning so too close to hateful eights. Virtual hugs @philly1991 and @Estragon and anyone else who needs one. Friday again everyone!

 

[RoughcutAU]

Snap! @PenguinMum

7.8 BGL this morning for last day of DAFNE. It has been interesting. Will be pleased to not have to do a 3am BGL check again for awhile I hope.

Thank you

11.7 - I've rejoined the site for accountability to move this score down.

FBG 6.1 this morning.

 

[RoughcutAU]

FBG 8.2 this morning - glad i didn’t grumble as for some unknown reason i managed to drop 3.2mmol by lunch and would have been in hypo land if i was at my prefered 5-6. Breakfast carb count was hopefully super accurate as it was a breakfast bar and read straight off the label.

 

[ultradad]

4.7 today. Have a nice weekend everyone

 

[DEBBIESCOTT]

Good morning
Libre 6.1
Contour 6.1
Happy with that after all that was eaten last night at daughter’s party

Lovely & sunny here
Enjoy your day everyone

FBG 8.2 this morning

8.2! Snapsies! I’ve, again, resigned myself to accepting that the longer haul is a longer haul, and that, in itself, means that even if lower numbers are to be sustained, for me, patience is not only a virtue, it’s a darn necessity. My EndoSys and cells have a mighty long metamorphosis cycle, even more than I had had realised back in 2019 with my 15.0 (HBA1C 89 and now 46)

In other News: Interviewing our third Paint ‘n Dec for “Castile Estragon” this Monday.

Morning All. 7.4 so firmly stuck in the 7s. @Estragon I know you need the patience of a saint sometimes with this condition and all we can do is carry on carrying on, nothing else for it. Enjoy Saturday everyone.

Yes, of course. I just feel "daft" coming back here and time and time again posting this yo-yo-ing. Also, I have this thought that I am doing myself harm by NOT achieving sustainable 5s and 6s, that others do.

Never feel daft for posting your blood sugars, we are all different & what works for one person doesn’t necessarily work for another, last couple of weeks I’ve found having a Benecol drinking yogurt in the morning & a casien shake with unsweetened almond milk at night (slow release protein) works for me, next week might be a completely different story
We can all only do our best, keep on keeping on
