6.4 today. Looking at ‘Mastering Diabetes’ approach and Mediterranean diet as permanent and sustainable changes to try and remain in remission (reduced 49 to 36 Hb1Ac over last 5 months using Newcastle Diet but now need a solution for Phase 3+). Checking out all the Forum comments on this as time allows today.

What's a daffodil tea?

It's just a name given to an occasion. It's at a little church in the next village and they have lots of meetings for the community like on a Thursday they have a coffee morning called Chatty Cafe. Ther Daffodil Tea always has a superb buffet and this time we had a quiz.

 

[RosemaryJackson]

It's not dissimilar to a Bluebell Tea or a Snowdrop tea or Cherry blossom tea. All are just an excuse for cake, and socialising.
Sometimes they have a charity aspect giving s proceeds to a charity. Daffodils are the symbol of Marie Curie cancer nurses

You explained it better than I did!!! LOL.

Morning all. Bedtime 6.8. This morning 6.8. On thr way down again hopefully. Me too @PenguinMum.

Morning all, 8.5 for me this morning down from 10.2 last night. I am resigned to being in the hateful 8's until I go on meds. My day time figures are no better.

6.8 again this morning - must be a thing

 

[mojo37]

8.2 this morning and yesterday poor sleep and too many carbs of course .Carb craving seems to be worse when tired ...or am I just making excuses

 

[Ryhia]

FBG 6.2 this morning. Bloods seem to be running a bit high at the moment I don't know why, its possibly a bit of anxiety.

 

[Davidn100]

5.0 this morning. Just had very poor sleep last night.. Any tips how to sleep better?

Been up about an hour, had two cups of coffee, black, no sugar, reading is 8.5 which is a little higher than normal?

A "Curate's Egg" of a day of numbers: 9.4 morning ( no idea where that came from). 6.8 pre-no-lunch then 7.2 pre-supper.

 

[DEBBIESCOTT]

Good morning
Libre 5.2
Contour 5.4
According to garmin I did 92 minutes of exercise yesterday, having a rest day today
Enjoy your day everyone

6.1 this morning. Poor night’s sleep. 6.4 at bedtime after eating later than I should have. The search for the ‘perfect’ dietary and exercise protocols continues( along with a healthy dose of habit and discipline). Maybe instead of ‘perfect’ I should say ‘optimal for me, at this point in time’. .

 

[RoughcutAU]

7.9 this morning. Ugh Moving on.

Much better throughout the day though.
