BS readings

What did you have with your jacket? The 5.1 was probably a rogue reading. A lot of fat would have prolonged the rise.

I had a large Knob of butter and it was a medium size spud, plus nearly 1/2 a caulli with cheese saucse, tiny amount of flour to thicken, large helping of green beans.

As for the rogue reading although I didnt wash my hands & did not think of retesting either as i had just finished my walk I was pleased with this result.

I'm not surprised you were pleased with the 5.1, but sadly I think it was a rogue reading. There was quite a bit of fat with your meal so that will have prolonged your time in the 6's. If the 5.1 was a correct reading, I can't explain why it should go up again. Maybe others will have an idea.
 
5.7 fasting
Post breakfast/ pre lunch 5.3
Post lunch 5.6
Random late afternoon 5 - to see what effect eating too many pieces of dark chocolate might have
Pre dinner 4.3
No after as pub quiz but 5.8 at bedtime
 
4,2 fasting

5,9 two hours after breakfast of two fried eggs, bacon and some cheese and about four strawberries

4,3 before lunch of a bowl of vegetable soup and some raw carrot.

6,8 an hour after lunch.
 
6.5 fasting
Post breakfast 5.2 - really happy with that as had a small well buttered slice of artisan spelt bread with my eggs. First bread since May 2nd and it was delicious. Going to slice rest of loaf and freeze to have occasionally.
 
5.8 before lunch
6.0 after lunch

Was really pleased as I had soup from the canteen - potato & leek and I was really worried about it.
 
So pre lunch 5.2
Post lunch 5.3

I will return later to confess my post dinner readings... Chip shop fish and few chips for ease as we are off to a Christmas concert.

Ouch!!!! How big a piece of bread? Did you have dressing? I find a lot of places use quite a sugary vinegraitte.
