BS readings

Yesterday's....
Fasting 5.6
Pre dinner 5.1
Post dinner 4.5
Bedtime 4.2
Didn't test lunch again as tried and tested items and I was out- including a dreaded visit to the job centre as I'm classed as un-employed now until my holiday centre opens again in February, I have three applications in currently and today have two more to do, I'm always looking ahead and at the bigger picture - determined to a fault too!!

Hi nuthead / Hi BT :)

Because I was trying to avoid the spikes I was getting when eating bacon.

Yesterday was 5.7 to 7.9 Day before 6.3 to 7.4 Day prior to that 6.1 to 7.4 all bacon omelette days

I'm trying my hardest to work out why something as inooccuous as a omellete with spinach and an avocado would give me such a rise.

Bacon doesn't spike. It is a meat. There are NO carbs in bacon. It can't spike you. It is a protein and fat.

I guess it depends if the bacon has been cured or not. My local farm shop does a couple of excellent bacons, one of which is cured in black molasses. It doesn't affect me at all, but others might differ? @Mike D
 
6.0 before lunch
5.8 after lunch

Pleased with that :) especially as this is the first meal I've been able to keep in. Fingers crossed the food poise I got or whatever it was is gone.

I might have been a naughty boy last night but I've just pricked myself tonight and got a reading of 5.7. That's .1 lower than last night. This time I'm not having any carbs (that I know of) and lets see what my reading is in 2 1/2 hours..................watch this space:D
