7.4 this morning despite only 34g carbs yesterday which is almost a record number in past couple of weeks. Still it is a better reading than the 9's and10's of past weeks so have to take it as a win. Missing the sunshine but can't really say I am enjoying the fog.

Morning all, back from hols and what a relief to feel sub 10°C temperature at night. Landed at 0230 with 3 hours sleep just now. Tested 7.7 which is one of the better results of the last few weeks surprisingly. Hoping to get back on track with diet after an awful roller coaster carb journey and...

Reading this thread brings it home to me how simillar the situations are to my own and I have every sympathy to the OP. I tend to find that we are treated by my GP practice as self inflicted sufferers draining their budgets. I had never seen the inside of a Drs surgery for 30 years yet when I...

A hug for the first walking effort as must be quite painful:eek: A laugh for the snail though:D

Still struggling with dietary choices in hotel, made my mind up to convince my wife that next year should be a self catering holiday as food choices and portion sizes totally uncontrollable eating in restaurant. Even what seems like a good low carb bacon and egg breakfast sends finger prick up...

Managing to get a few finger prick tests in now and again but results always disappointing although expected. Low carb options few and far between except at breakfast. Yesterday went for an 11 mile walk around resort with a sea swim in between, nothing to eat except a warm litre bottle of water...

6.7 this morning. Won't be testing and reporting regularly over the next couple of weeks as off on holiday. Unfortunately my wife believes holidays should be a total break from routine and just enjoy ourselves including eat, drink and be merry. Sadly I have found holiday choices are never easy...

5.8 today, nothing ever constant. CGM expired yesterday, been a great 3 weeks and eye opener of experimentation. So many things that buck the popular trends for diabetics, eg. exercise after meals to reduce BS, complete waste of time as just spikes results not lowers them. Fasting does nothing...

Back in the sixes, 6.8

A welcome 5.8 this morning, bit surprised as got up late and still managed a below 6 reading. Enjoy your weekend.

6.8 to start the day. Just a couple of days left on the CGM and have been enjoying the experimentation with different foods, diet and exercise. Personally I think it is the only way to go in order to get a grip on diabetes. @OrsonKartt it is such a shame that those who claim to be managing our...

A reasonable 6.6 today, did test a bit later this morning as had to rush downstairs and accept a parcel from the postie, not sure why they delivered so early.

A welcome but eyebrow raising 5.3 this morning. No idea why so low after a 7 yesterday but will take it anyway. Double checked on the CGM getting 4.1 so must be correct.

7.0 to start the day, could be better but seen far worse.

6.8 after Sunday lie in and cup of coffee in bed.
