6.8 at 6:09, rising to 7 at 7:58.
I'm doing an oatmeal experiment this morning. I want to see how it affects me. I'm reading more and more about how good oatmeal is for blood sugars. Does that take effect after a two hour check? Throughout the day?

Edited to add, rose to 7.5, which was .5 . Maybe the short walk I had helped too.

Like many on here I have completely cut out any form of cereals for my breakfast. I was advised by my diabetic nurse to bulk up on cereal particularly oats and/or Weetabix as apparently slow release and eliminates desire to snack. Well I don't really snack much anyway except say late at night.
For years my hb1ac never went down but since taking advice on here I have ditched the cereal in favour of low carb choices (can't believe I can eat plenty of bacon and egg instead of porridge gruel) and my readings are finally showing signs of reducing. On top of that I now enjoy breakfast instead of tolerating it.
For me at least oats and cereals just proved to be devil's food.I hope the change works for you

6.1 again.
a wee bit of rain today, much needed! Great leg workout today and lots of walking, just back from our neighbourhood loop (about 2km). Supper is leftovers…my favourite!

Me neither @Omar51. I never tire of eggs, cooked in various ways, and avocado; a match made in heaven.

Morning all. Happy Anniversary @DEBBIESCOTT. Enjoy your day. 7.2 for me today. The heat is really getting to me and causing internal problems so am not setting foot outdoors today. I love the sun but the sun doesn't love me. Hope everyone else is ok.

Slight increase in FBG 7.1 I did hope that I had seen the back of morning 7's maybe it was all the snacking that I did yesterday ( low carb ) .

 

[Omar51]

Morning all, 4.94 Tuesday morning at 5 am San Francisco time. Have a nice day all.
