6.9 don't know where that cam from apart from super meal out last night and possibly just possibly I had some chips , oops,
With my main course and also some ice cream for desert.

Knew it would not be a good reading for me this morning, but sometimes it just has to be done.

Off to my bike for some early exercise to get my readings back in the curve that I like.

Have a wonderful day everyone.

A yucky (for me) 4.7 for me today. I haven’t wavered from the virtuous path, so I’ll keep an eye on it. I have a lot going on at the moment, and am conscious of clearing the fridge, so I’m having some odd combinations, if not odd carb counts.

Last night I used my last home HbA1c test, which was bang in range with the others I have done, over the months. The last one I did, about 4 weeks ago (using them up before their expiry date) was slightly elevated, but this one is back in the zone, with all the others, so that gives me confidence.

I don’t have time to worry about the finger prick tests for now. If I’m still higher next weekend, I’ll perhaps give it a bit more head space.

Today I will be mainly packing, baking and getting the car washed before it goes into the garage for it’s “holiday”. I’ll try to keep half an eye on Andy Murray’s match in the background.

Have good day playmates!

Yeah tell me about it as anyone got a spare set of lungs :)
I feel for you - my youngest son is asthmatic and I can't bear watching him struggle... I'd rather go through it myself.. it's so difficult for your family to see you like this... Better soonest...

After 4.4 yesterday I am back to a very disappointing 6.0 this morning... woke early with cats crawling all over me though - should have got up and tested instead of laying there with them for so long... :)

6.1 today. Can't seem to shake this cold. I'm find during day but when I wake up everything hurts and is bunged. Can't wait for some warmer brighter weather. I may have to emigrate to paradise too.

4.3 this morning. My first reading was a rather surprising 3.7 so another 2 tests at 4.3 and 4.4 and I have ignored the first one, then gone for the lower of the two, still a very good one for me anyway. Codefree batch ending 4056, which seems to have been pretty sound generally.
