5.3 this chilly morning despite not waking until 10am (and a 2 shortbread snack when dog got me up for wee) - did wake at 7 but wasn't getting up that early....

Which batch of strips is this on? I have a lot of packs coming today or tomorrow, so I'm crossing my fingers they're consistent..

Wasn't it a lot simpler when we didn't "know" what the score was going to be?

Just taken a breakfast plus 2 hours reading, which together with the 1 hour reading confirms beyond doubt in my mind that the 3 x 6.5 fasting readings were a meter blip by as much as 1mmol/l.

Thanks, whatever would I do without you lot!

It's recorded and forgotten. Breakfast plus an hour was a much lower than usual rise, so I'm smiling again and thinking it may have been a meter blip, despite 3 identical readings on different fingers. :)

That's more like the Blue we all love xx
 
Late on parade again today! Busy morning!
5.7 after going to he'd on 5.5 so in range
Was expecting more as a very wakeful night yet again. Only just got to 2 degrees here now after a -4 start and very icy! I really dislike these days with a passion. These next few days are horrible on a personal level too, tomorrow is the anniversary of the day I lost my treasured dad very suddenly at just 67, 11 years ago. Still not used to not having him here.

Thinking of you. And take care on the ice. It was so cold last night that I could feel my face burning with it even in bed under the duvet with a hot water bottle. X

Nice to see some else uses GL, I personally find it great as you get a wider choice of food. Just because it's not Low carb doesn't mean to say you have to not have.

I think it may have been you recommended it to me... I like the way the book gives figures for a portion and also size of that portion too.... "per 100gms" as some books show can be quite misleading.... Eg jam and honey are shown per teaspoon....and in those quantities are low....
 
6.7 fasting 6.5 before lunch.I have had to stop Metformin for the time being due to having had acute pancreatitis two weeks ago.
From what I have read on the forum 1x500 mg would not have had much effect on BS,but its gone up this last few days.
I would have thought if the pancreatitis was to blame it would have happened two weeks ago.
I realy dread going back on Metformin as I realy had problems for a few months.

Thinking of you Kimbo. I lost my dad suddenly and unexpectedly, aged 72. That was 27 years ago and I still shed tears over him.

If only you had done the fourth one, mwahahaha :woot:. That's statistics for you - unlikely, but the amount we collectively test it's bound to happen some day!

- It's cold.
- You have jetlag.
- You're recovering from a nasty bout of sickness.....

How many potential reasons do you want? ;) I might be inclined to pick the dreaded jetlag.

Give it time to settle down and I'm sure it'll be fine. :)

Thanks for this. My reading is about 1.2 higher than the roll out of bed one after I get going and prepare (but not eat) breakfast. I have mobility problems so expend a lot of energy just getting around hence, I suppose, the larger difference, the smaller reading is typically 6.0

Welcome to the thread. It's amazing (and great) what we learn from the experiences of others "text book" stuff is fine for starters but once you're "out there in the field...." Is when the tried and tested comes into play

So sad for you. My kids feel the same on the day of their Dad's passing 5 yrs ago. Remember him with a smile for all the good times rather than the sadness of his passing, I'm sure he would like that x
