I feel it...my sensitivity since I changed my diet is almost hyper...my eyes water a little...and I feel slightly queasy...then when I check the numbers they confirm it too....although the impact of higher carb foods in the first 3 months on high readings is quite different to what it is now...so I can only assume the system MUST be working better...you sound a very young 66...I guess its the new 40!!

I don't feel old, it's true!
Do your eyes water with nausea or allergy? Some foods we eat, like nuts, have high histamine content apparently, so what can we do? I rely on almonds for so much of my diet and treats.., I suddenly get hot, which makes me think I have too much sugar? I will try to remember to test next time it happens.. I hardly ever eat anything I 'shouldn't'... I am over-compensating and over-thinking it all still I reckon... I am just grateful for all the lovely support on the forum... I am a long way away from home most of the time and it's so important to me... I always expect Brunneria and AndBreathe in Paradise, or BlueTit to come up with the answers... Or ColdEthyl... :rolleyes: I am heading home this week and am looking forward to all the lovely food I can eat... :joyful:

5.9 tis morning. Work has been crazy this past week and also had a family death. I have a huge day tomorrow with 5 new Board Member joining my board. I am totally sure they will ask lots of tricky questions. Plus, I am doing two major presentations for them on our current work, what success looks like for us and other left brain stats, plus a business plan presentation. Won't get home till 8ish and have told my husband to have the vodka and tonic waiting already. Hopefully after tomorrow I will be able to be online and posting more. :)

My goodness, that's a lot on your plate... Make the vodka a double!! ☺️

An unadjusted 4.3 for me this morning. It's in my range, so accepting it, although with stable strips I might have expected a bit lower. But, no matter, my technicolour chesticles are still on the way out, so all-in-all, I can't complain.

Good morning from a sunny, cool day in Bahrain... So glad your poor chest is finally feeling a bit better... If it's still lingering maybe you should be happy with that reading... I would be... You're a perfectionist... :happy:

You've not been paying attention to my ailments!

I've just had what seems to be a short, sharp sinus and chest infection that (coupled with an erratic Codefree batch, ending 44) returned me outrageous numbers.

All of that said, things are on the wane, with my "outputs" moving out of the Andy Warwhole pallette and through the Kelly Hoppen. Mr B is a couple of days behind me, so, he's suffering too. But, never mind, we rarely get anything full-blown, and hopefully we're on the up now. :)

(I started a thread, and everything. What's a girl supposed to do for a bit of attention seeking?!!?? ;) )

Well that's it me n bread are parting company for good. Was late in from work last night so just had some peanut butter on 2 hovis. My bs went from 4.8 pre to 8.3 post!!!! I've never had that before. Then today I had chicken an mushroom soup for my lunch with a slice of homemade soda bread, again it went from 4.6 to 8.5! That's the first 2times I've gone over 8. So that's it, bread is definitely off the menu:grumpy:

Before breakfast 7.6
Porridge, blueberries AND a large dollop of greek yogurt.
Walk with dog, 2 hours later 6.4
So I think porridge ( made with water ) is ok for me.
Or am I wrong?

Probably OK - during the week I generally have hot oat cereal with added oatbran and flax seed which does not affect my BS. I've tested it 4 times now with the same effect so I've decided that it's OK for me. I'm also OK with bran flakes which I add nuts and b/berries to!

:D You and me both I reckon.... I make loaves now.. the first thing I ever made was the Swedish thingies... Nice though... there is a recipe for a 'microwave muffin bun' where you just put the mixture in large cups and make a 'bun'... haven't tried it yet as sandwiches were never my thing, but I will hunt out the recipe for you if I can... two minutes to make a bun!! Imagine... Not bread, but if we want to keep off the meds it's the only way... ;)

Does the cold weather affect you? Or stress? My youngest son is hyper-sensitive to hay and pollen from the catkins in the spring... such a debilitating problem... I hope you feel better later...
