The Cornish holiday is catching up with me! Cocktail (note singular) on the beach last night and a late evening meal, albeit low carb, I had indigestion all night

Morning all. 5.5 from new Libre here - not pleased but there. 5.6 just now before breakfast. @MissMuffett was it that cocktail? 
Are Rick Stein's battered oysters off the menu?

6.7 this morning. I'm still not over my cold, and I haven't kept track every morning, as I had to stay home from work a couple of days with a fever. I'm chalking my higher readings up to that, but it does make me nervous about my HbA1c test at the end of the month. I had hoped to show my GP that I can control my T2 with diet only, after such a horrendous reading last year made him very sceptical to my plans.

FBG 6.6
I have resisted weighing and measuring food and counting carbs for nearly 25 years in favour of a binary system - yes, that's OK, no, I don't eat that. Time for more refinement. I am now researching keto and carb counting.
It looks much easier now that I am old and rarely leave the house and eat the same things over and over.

H Sarah you are welcome in this friendly little corner where we all support each other’s personal goals. I think you should post in the general forum giving more info about your type of D, what your HbA1c was on diagnosis, whether medicated, etc so a bit more context for the forum members to support you. Fasting BG is notoriously higher due to Dawn Phenominum but agree 18 is very high.

A dastardly 7.6 this morning after my lovely run of 6s. Hopefully can improve again. Have a great Wednesday everyone.

7.2 this morning no idea why, kept off the nuts yesterday. Have a headache and had cream yesterday, been off cream all week wondering if dairy is affecting my sinuses and giving me headaches.
