7.4 this morning after much over indulgence yesterday. Things not looking good re. diet today but as everyone keeps reminding me "it is Christmas after all." Have a good one to you all, I hope you can enjoy and push any guilts away for a few days. Happy Christmas.;);)

Not posted for a while as away at family wedding and now having to baby sit young grandkids. Up everyday at 0530 or worse (it's killing me slowly:(:() and fraudulent readings of mid to high 5's. Later on at more normal wake up times readings in the expected 6 and 7's before breakfast. Haven't...

A welcome 6.6 to start the day.

Cold diminishing and hopefully numbers coming down. 6.8 this morning, not seen a 6 for 10 days or so. Apologies too many numbers

7.2 this morning, not bad considering recent results for me at least.

I too self fund but have found the sensor to be the only way to go for getting a grip on foods and their effect on BS. My sensor has just expired and I will not be replacing until after Xmas. I will be relying on the dreaded finger prick 4-5 times a day and find that the only true reading is the...

Still suffering only with heavy cold but feel like s**t and not getting out and about as usual. My BS stays relatively high all day probably due to sugary medicines and throat lozenges. Hopefully will get shot of it before Xmas and get things back on track as well as say goodbye to a first thing 8.0

6.7 at 0530 as couldn't sleep, back to bed and 7.8 at 0800 when finally got up. Looks like I will just have to get up earlier for those lower BS readings but doesn't appeal.

7.1 today. Been pretty miserable still with cold. Sore throat and lost my voice completely yesterday which probably pleased rest of family as silenced my moans and groans. BS all over the place but no surprise as living on a diet of Night Nurse and sore throat tabs. Amazing how something as...

Still wallowing in the 7s at 7.2 although do have a sore throat, runny nose and loss of appetite so suspect a cold lurking on the horizon. More shopping today to dampen the spirit but good excuse for a Xmas glass of mulled wine. Here's hoping.

7.3 today, like others having to go out shopping today. Not my favourite hobby and even worse near Xmas! However has to be done and might even get "brownie points" if I can resist moaning about prices and complaining about carb values listed on back of packets. I am not a betting person but I...

Similar to me, 7.4 this morning. Looks like the only way I can get back into the lower readings is by testing at 4AM. Not an ideal solution.

Day 2 and knew it wouldn't last. 7.7 but did have a rough nights sleep.

6.2 this morning, well pleased as lowest in December for me. Shame as it is only day 1.

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...
