7.0 this morning. Better than expected as BBQ yesterday but my usual weakness is the drinks but I just stuck to a couple of glasses of wine which kept both my blood alcohol and blood sugar within limits. Was a bit of a personal struggle though especially as several cocktails on offer however the...

A sad 8.3 this morning. Putting it down to the effects of blackberries as had some yesterday for dinner and before bed finger prick was a horrifying 10.7 which I found strange as would of thought raw berries, no sugar should not spike numbers. On the bright side at least I have found another...

6.9 today, hoping it is a downward trend but won't hold my breath.

7.3 again this morning, must still have been dreaming of steak pie, chips and ice cream. Only thing I can put rise down to is eating occasional blackberries after being roped into picking them yesterday. Didn't think I ate that many but possibly my liver had a different opinion.

I tend to agree with all of the advice stated here. For me my light bulb moment was actually going against advice from my diabetic nurse and trying to avoid all carbs. I never used to eat a breakfast or much bread out of personal preference but since being diagnosed with T2 I was told to eat...

I dream of having a steak pie and chips, probably why I got an inexplicable 7.5 this morning.

6.8 this morning. Wondering what all the fuss was about with storm Floris yesterday. We had a mild breeze in Home Counties with a few spots of rain but that was all. My cultivated straw garden could really have done with some stormy rain. The advance weather warnings almost always make it sound...

7.9 mystery reading this morning. Slept badly which may have something to do with it.

Me too settling back at 6.8 Much improved on yesterday. When it comes to chinese take-aways @debs248 I also find very little info on actual carb values but usually allow approx 60g in my daily calculations which is quite horrendous and probably the worst food choice that passes my lips these...

Out of the sixes and into the 7.2 today. Would normally say I don't understand why but in this case I know it was unfortunately a lapse into some late night drinks and a chinese take-away around midnight with friends. Went to bed with a 9.7 so fully expected a high morning reading especially...

6.2 again today. Happy that numbers consistent and reasonably low but heading into BBQ weekend so fingers crossed.

6.2 this morning, a bit better than past few days. As usual no idea why as nothing really changed but happy to see a better reading.

6.9 and trousers fully secured.

@grantg I had a similar experience a couple of months ago. Didn't realise that a spin-off of going low carb was weight loss. I found I lost at least a couple of inches (5cms) from my waist. Had an incident when going through the airport scanners, having removed my belt and told to hold my arms...

6.6 this morning. Off to the kiddies "play barn" this morning so likely to run me into the ground for later. Nothing like a restful day sadly and guaranteed a few knocks and bruises but that is what grandads are for, or so I am told.
