14.4 this morning off to the doctors tomorrow to hopefully get some new medication
13.7 at 9am, Oh the joy. Admittedly I didn't inject Levemir before bed but I had done 40 minutes high intensity personal training beforehand. I have a diabetic nurse appt. at 3pm today - what's the betting I'll get snarled at and come away upset...

4.1 this morning - courtesy of 4g of an oatcake last night. I do sometimes get the urge to munch something crunchy and this is my go to in that event.

Yup I love oatcakes too. Try the Nairns Organic Super Seeded ones. I have an unopened packet right beside me. I hope though you had a little bit more than that to eat during the evening.

I haven't tried the Super Seeded ones - I'll have to. Must admit I do like the Nairns oatcakes. Dinner was chicken salad with a side chaser of scrambled eggs. Yum.

Snarling bad, I prefer the carrot to the stick, tho' we have to count the carbs... Be strong with the nurse, and come back to us for hugs.

Smile sweetly and agree on her with everything - I've found that the biggest thing to disarm folks (even grumpy bosses!)
