Morning All. A very forlorn 7.3 this morning after another safe day of food. A week of creeping FBG (was 5.3 before dinner of lamb steak, mushrooms and tomato at 7pm, didnt test after. Either my natural supply of insulin is drying up as my Endo predicted or I have a very dodgy tub of strips. Not home till Sunday so cant change them. Anyway no breakfast for me and a light day required.
A brighter start to the day here in Kent so washing on the agenda today. Yesterday was disgusting.
Hope you all enjoy Saturday. Stay well, stay safe.
Hi
@PenguinMum
not sure if it helps, BUT...
whenever i have over indulged, (holiday usually)
whether for a week or more, my FG does reflect that level of naughty activity long after i am back,
regardless of how good the scores were at the time of eating / drinking
OR how rigorous i am with my diet once home..
I now kinda see it as i clean the body of sugars..(or at least made a space for more without it registering in my bloods)
BUT as the days pass by, my body doesn't quite get rid of the extra as well as it did, and at some point the FBG starts to climb
It's only well i get back, that even by eating to my new normal regime, that i spotted the FBG was still higher then before i went away.
this is the point were i began to think that food intake V BG was not always linear.
I ate far less sugary things early days BG stayed high
then for no apparent reason (nothing was different except i kept to the regime ) it dropped.
I think the same happens in reverse..over a few days BECAUSE we have taken care of business so to speak re carbs, the creep up is NOT pickled up straight away, but lurks until, like a pint of milk, with the top not put back on tightly, lying on its side in the fridge..it drip, drip, drips, until the FBG mounts enough to warrant a little worry " *** is going on
:***: "
may not be correct, but it 'seems ' to fit most of my elevated highs post holidays, etc.
And the Dublin run, i bet was magnificent,
but hard not to have dropped a little vigilance here and there..and why not
Worth considering .
best wishes it steadies over the next week or so.
