13.9... oh dear. That's from eating pork pies, crisps and chocolate cream eclairs while watching the rugby final last night. It was worth it though - well done England :D Lots of walking today to make up.

5.1 this morning. Five to drive so we're good to go :p

96.7kg - so dropping around 1kg a month at the moment. I'm a third of the way there to losing a third of my weight. Start was 108kg, target is 75kg. Back in my competition ballroom dancing/mountain biking days I was 68-72kg...

6.6 this morning - perfect. Being on the maximum dose of Gliclazide I need to be above 6 and below 9. And of course, it's 'five to drive'.

A remarkably low 8.6 this morning considering the McDonalds/chocolate/crisps/fruit cake/buns binge I had yesterday. When I get stressed I stuff myself... Still within my plan target of 6-9 though :p

7.3 this morning and 6.0 before dinner. So, still coming down. I have brisk ten minute walks after breakfast, lunch and dinner (when I'm not out doing long walks). Today I did 15 minutes on the exercise bike after lunch instead of the walk.

I have the Dextro Energy Tropical Flavour. I think they're tasty. I got a big box of them off Amazon.

I carry Dextro tablets but I'm on Gliclazide. If my blood sugar drops below 5 I'm in danger - hypos can come on really fast. Metformin doesn't work in the same way and so is safer. Sadly I'm allergic to metformin :confused:

If you are under proper diabetes care then you can ask to see a dietician. You'll get much better advice than reading opinions on the internet! All diets need to be properly balanced.

7.0 this morning. After a strange high of 9.6 yesterday before evening meal.

I don't have it often these days. But when I do, I find it doesn't affect my readings at all.

7.9 this morning. I'm supposed to keep it 6-9 so it's ok. Would like it lower though.

Forgot this morning. It was 10.5 after breakfast...

I have neuropathy in both feet. Numb and tingly like I'm wearing ten pairs of socks. My blood flow is excellent so there's not a problem other than the discomfort. I have my feet checked regularly just to make sure I'm ok. I also watch for injuries as they could turn serious. At the moment my...
