6.5 this, quite surprising as up several times overnight and slept lightly with open ears on baby monitor. If having grandkids over is a cure for diabetes I am going back to pies and pasties for a quieter life. Thankfully returning them to their rightful owners later today so looking forward to...

6.9 today. A good start to the weekend for me but we have grandchildren staying over so disturbed sleep and sweet treats ahead, Happy weekend all.

8.4 sadly this morning. Fitted a libre yesterday and went for a monster 10 mile walk in afternoon. Once libre had settled just saw the BS going up and up with no food intake up to 9.5 then staying there. Really odd.Thankfully dropped overnight to 4.9 but on the up again after 0400. Still putting...

At last a 6.4 this morning. Just a shame that it takes only a day of higher carbs to raise BS but almost a week of low carb to get it back down. Hope it's not just a flash in the pan.

7.9 today, not surprised as been pretty high all day yesterday, certainly a couple of clicks above my "normal."

7.3 numbers slowly coming back to what appears to be my normal range. BS always rockets up quickly when abused but drags its heels when asked to come back down.

7.7 today, was very good yesterday re carbs but will take some days to bring numbers down.

7.4 this morning. Disturbed sleep last night as back in UK at 0230. Slight delays as apparently had to de-ice plane and runway in UK before plane came to pick us up. Also had to defrost the car as suspected. Aaargh!!!! It's so cold here after a week of 26 degrees heat.

Thanks for the advice but fortunately the chef makes a great flamboyant display of preparing and cooking the omelette mix with freshly cracked eggs and milk to order. However the only suspicious ingredients are the cooking oil and maybe milk, I never put milk in my own omelettes, just eggs so...

A rather unhealthy 8.0 to kick off the day but not unexpected. Only a few more days of "bad" living to go and I am dreading going home to the zero temperatures back home. I will have to swap the sun cream and shorts for fleeces and long trousers. Even worse de-icing the car which is something...

I only find it weird because when I eat exactly same meal at home I get almost no noticeable rise in BS other than usual slow but sure daily trend. However out here when I try to duplicate same low carb meal my BS goes through the roof. I suspect they must cook things in some well carby oil or...

7.2 on waking, 9.9 30 mins after bacon, omelette and black coffee breakfast. Weird!!!

I think there is a bit of a misconception regarding "remission" when it comes to diabetes. I see an awful lot of cases regarding reversing diabetes especially on the internet and I personally strive towards this myself. However I have found that it is possible to "control" but not actually...

I have to agree with others in that it doesn't seem to matter when you take metformin as it is one one of those things that has a a cumulative effect as opposed to an immediate effect soon after taking. I have been experimenting with my metformin prescribed twice a day with meals in order to...

7.9 first thing. Proof positive (at least for me) we are what we eat. My holiday diet has gone to pieces last few days and I am truly "off the grid" when it comes to carb control. Found it quite surprising that even some meals that I have at home say omelette and bacon hardly raises BS but out...
