6.0 a little high for me, but have had little sleep the last 2 days so hopefully things will get in line once I can get more than 2 hours sleep per night.

Have a beautiful day everyone.

Oh John hope you get more sleep tonight. 2 hours a night is no good. I didn't realise blood sugar is effected by to tiredness.
 
A nice 5.3 this morning- even though the full on cold has now arrived! Took a week but now I have it! Can't taste, nose is a tap, throat is sandpaper, ears dead- full day at office ahead, but I'm smiling :)

Lots of hot drinks, my favourite for a cold is hot no added sugar Vimto or lemon tea. Halls sugar free throat sweets are good if your OK with eucalyptus. Take care and keep warm Kimbo big hugs ((( ))):)
 
5.2 yesterday morning and 5.0 this morning. Not too bad considering I am away and eating hotel food so haven't got my normal choices.

Lovely morning in NE Fife, hope it is good for you.
 
Hola

Well looks like everybody is full of the joys of spring today - long may it last.

Was expecting a higher reading today as steak supper and huge amount of acceptable veg and salads (butter fried garlic mushrooms), tomato onion feta basil vinegar olive oil salad, sauerkraut, aspagus, huge green salad, a bucket load of green goddess sauce and an extremely large glass of red wine in my special 'I'm only having 1 glass of wine' glass. Anyhow haven't had a glass of vino for a month and it's the last one til April 12. Very enjoyable it was to but sent me nuts (raided the nut store walnuts, almonds and shared to last bit of peanut butter with the dog).

Or to cut a long story short more carbs than I've had for a while but lower reading. 4.5 on the Richter scale. That's about as low as I want to go.

So I have a problem, don't get me wrong it is a nice problem to have but I am looking for some advice.....

Aim keep bloods at that level but not go any lower or above 20g of carbs and not reduce exercise regime and still continue to loose weight. All suggestions greatfully received.

Cheers

You feel shakey and can't concentrate because you are hypoing, you need to familiarise yourself with these feelings and nip them in the bud quick! You may need to eat more often, or - I can't remember if you are on meds - have your medication adjusted

I've always been like that since my teens and wasn't diabetic , overweight etc .... and yes now I am diabetic ( thats not something I wanted to admit to this time last year ) I do now take care more . The eating often hasn't been a problem its just the large amounts when I do eat :oops:.Re meds I'm on metformin 500g x2 aday .
