Morning all. My blood monitor has given up the ghost so until I can get into town, won't be posting my numbers.

Morning All. A dastardly 8.0 this morning despite vigorous raking of leaves yesterday. @RosemaryJackson we have to just carry on carrying on, nothing else for it. Yay for @Estragon today. Have a good Monday all.

I gave you a hug for the unwelcome FBG but can I give you a winner for the upbeat positivity that encourages us all. Have a good day @PenguinMum.

FBG 5.5 this morning and that was after a lovely piece of low carb blueberry cheesecake dessert I had yesterday evening. I've had to freeze the rest to keep it out of the way. Have a good day folks.

Morning all 6.6 .I'll take that as I had a 7.1 going to bed but I think i know where It came from . I had a chicken kebab from chipper without the bread but I think the sauce was too carby/sugary plus I had an extra couple of squares of dark chocolate last night. maybe maybe not who knows. I have the pleasure of loads of kids banging down the door later on this evening for Halloween goodies. Enjoy your day folks

I was 7.3 this morning (7am) which is the lowest it's been in years. My issue is its spiking really bad. I took it at 9am and it was 15.4. All i have had is a coffee, plain sainsburys own porridge and 2 sugar free polos.

 

[Estragon]

plain sainsburys own porridge

Just on spiking, at 58%, I’d ditch the Porridge, ditch all carbs. I can easily spike on a particular carbostien. Just zap ‘em.

Yeah i will swap it out tomorrow and test. It's quite frustrating to see when i have been extremely good over the past few weeks.

Libre 4.8

That’s after being woken up at 4AM by Libre alarm with a reading of 3.7.

 

[Estragon]

7.4 - Yesterday, all day was in the 6s, went to bed on a 9.2, fruit and roasted parsnips with roasted chicken washed down with 2 glasses of white Cote du Rhône, so, two points knocked off over night, works for me.

Getting my new supply of dental brushes via AMAZON today, whoop-de-do-do, just sooo exciting.

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All @Ryhia thanks for the hug. 7.1 today which is not very good. I am thinking could it be affected by taking it roughly an hour later than last week. I think I will take my meter up to bed and take it if I can before I come downstairs. Worth a try. Another soggy moggy day here. Happy Tuesday all.

 

[Lainie71]

6.8 this morning and dragging myself kicking and screaming to do 40 mins of spin bike - no enthusiasm

 

[Ryhia]

5,6 this morning.
