BS readings

Do these WBC change suddenly? I had full blood tests in December and all was normal. The WBC was 9.2 (standard 4 to 11)

Might have if your body is fighting something without any outward symptoms. Not in any way an expert so just a stab in the dark.

Could you ask your GP for a white blood cell count?

I would say that's pretty sledge hammer for less than a day's higher readings. I doubt the GP would justify it yet.

@Bluetit1802 - things may become clearer over a couple of days, if a cold or something develops. I found it a bit alarming myself, when I was brewing this chesty thing, but I think you have to ride it out for a few days, unless you see teens or twenties over a 24 hour period.

I'll reiterate my usual mantra and suggest you increase your fluid intake, just to lubricate your system a little more.

(I know it's all pretty rubbish, but that's how it goes sometimes.)
 
Changed my bread from Tesco seeded to Hovis Seed sensations so decided to test today's lunch which was salt beef sandwiches with 2 slices of bread followed by a Yeo Valley FF Greek Yoghurt and Blueberries -pre lunch 5.5, 2 hours after 6.2 and 3 hours after 5.7 so good result in fact I think it's lower than the Tesco's bread. I also had a small square of lemon and poppy seed cake just after my 3 hour test and 2 hours later my BS was 4.8!

Wow those results are amazing after Two slices of bread and then a small piece of cake. Did you do lots of exercise today Daphne?
 
Odd day, after been in the 4's most of the time for a while, I think my system its a bit all over the place after eating so late yesterday, plus not moving around as much, plus a bit of late nights, not bad numbers but just slightly up from where they were.

FBG: 5.3
After B: 5.3
Before L: 5
After L: 5
Before walk: 5
After walk: 5.5
Before night snack: 4.9
 
See you take Glipizide - Zircon?

Did you find your weight going up?

I was on just Metformin and lost 1.5 st which lowered my Ha1Bc, then had Zircon and quickly put all the weight back on and kept slowly putting on weight.
It lowered my BS but increased my weight and after a year the lowering effect diminished and my Ha1Bc was back up.

From those that have got BS under control they all have lost a lot of weight. For me Zircon was counter productive.

i had half a small frittata made with 2 eggs, a small baby red onion, 4 cherry tomatoes, 4 oz grated cheese, left over brocolli, for mushrooms, 1 clove of garlic and 2oz of red pepper. I was 10.2 at 1 hr and back down to 6 at 3 hours...I'm hoping it was just my liver being a little s.o.b.
