Mine was 16 and lately has been dancing around 12-16 even though I take the long acting at bed time and take fast acting after or just before meals in the day. I am really worried in that I cant seem to get it down

7.3 this morning. getting progressively worse as I have been stress snacking for the last few weeks on cheese, nuts and stevia chocolate. i am giving myself another couple of days to get my head in order before aggressively tackling my sugar levels again.

i am stressed because i had two transient ischemic attacks or minor strokes and scans show that my right internal carotid artery is totally blocked. ..so i suppose snacking is the least of my problems at the moment :)
Hope the docs can fix you ASAP. Take care x

Good morning everyone
5·6
I have been on holiday in north wales for the last week and even though I tried to be good, my fasting bs has been up into the 7s. Just one day at home on my usual diet and I'm back in the 5s, it has made me realize how quickly my bs figures would be back into the high teens if I take my eye off the ball.

I guess that truly earns the name of "wakeup call" :D. Well done getting straight back on track :)
