Well this I've checked and there is a lot of buzz on google about it too. No sugar. Dns are sometimes rubbish I know esp when they spout the eat lots of carbs routine! That's what got me here!!
 
6.8 this morning ..I suspect the glands the size of duck eggs under my jaw have something to do with that. Can't say I feel ill just a bit off colour which is typical as I am off out tonight and have my Hba1C test next week!
 
A much more acceptable 5.3 this monprning after a week in which morning readings have yo-yo'd and been as high as 6.4. But I do have a chest infection and a lot of pressure at work currently so the high readings are not too much of a surprise.

5.9 this morning after bedtime of 5.7, so about right but I obviously prefer my 5.3!!
Keep getting a little snow flurry but nothing laying yet, just a few specks on the ground so far

The 7.0 is good, sorry to hear about the rest tho. Hopefully you'll be our and about again soon x
 
A very annoyed 6.0 which is the highest I have recorded since I started testing on 18/12. Only had some chicken drumsticks and some salad but then had cashews/raisins and a 9 bar. Then got offered a glass of wine which i said yes to. Didn't test last night.

Overall, based on 31 readings it has been an average of 4.7 with 4 readings over 5.5

We all get these blips. It could be anything from bad night to stress to your liver playing silly buggers to you coming down with something, but what it won't be is the wine (if it was red and not a sweet white)
 
Ok was really worried about taking my bloods this morning as I was 9.1 before bed..... However it was 5.6 woohooo

It was a dry white wine. Also today is the 1st test using a batch of strips I got off ebay.

My usual 5.8 - was a little concerned as I had a meal out last night and had mushroom stuffed with stilton, cranberries and walnuts followed by king prawn marsala with rice (about 2 tblespns) and a small naan and I enjoyed every mouthful! Didn't have the courage to test last night though!!!

Always wise to test - especially as it can go in your favour.... If tests results surprise you by being lower than you expected you'd know you could eat it again with impunity; not a guilty pleasure
