Thanks @Kezzer4321
I don't know how, or why, but although that's what the carbs say they don't impact on my bs and I have tested them many times because of it. I do know that there are carb ratings which include ALL carbs and not just "available" carbs....... the same seems to apply to me with SugarFree chocolate (at least the brand I treat myself with) ..... I wish I could remember where I read about the "available" carbs - i.e. the carbs your body actually uses. When I find it I will post a link to the article. If I were to eat the same amount of carbs as bread, pasta, rice, potatoes I know my bs would jump (or maybe even do somersaults)
The vagaries of our condition, test, record, move on someone much wiser than me advised.5.4 at bedtime (midnight)
then two shockers
6.5 at 2-40am (bathroom visit)
6.2 this morning
No idea why the rise between midnight and 2-40am. I don't normally test during the night , but something made me do it last night. I wish I hadn't bothered! I slept well, no dreams, no worries or stress. Most odd. My evening meal was a normal one, nothing different.
5.9 think its fair to say the meds review has done its job
Next step is to get down the amount of meds - I've dropped the Gliclazide from 2 twice to 1 twice (Step 1)
Dropping nicely again.... You'll be out of double figures again soon10.6
Fantastic... and in a short time too...5.9 think its fair to say the meds review has done its job

Thanks Simon, yes done the hour and a half, 2hours, 2.5 hours at which it's always been lower than at 2 so never done a 3hour.....@Sable_Jan Have you checked for the 'pizza effect' or just 2 hours post prandial?
Forgive me if 'I'm trying to teach my granny to suck eggs' ... not saying you're old ... stop digging the hole now Simon.

Keep well BT
,Forgot to test this.morning. kit was upstairs from previous nite which meant I didn't end up testing at all yesterday either....ate nothing new apart from teatime
If I were ever to admit to forgetting - I'd probably be too busy writing lines to find the time to test....,
This is just not good enough! Take 100 lines "I must never, ever, ever, under any circumstances whatsoever, forget to test my blood glucose levels."
I don't like doing mine any more, it's so high....,
