5.7 this morning. It rained so much yesterday I really struggled to get Dennis out at all. I had to physically carry him outside every couple of hours for toilet breaks. He looked so forlorn, the fluffy puppy replaced by a drowned rat. Still looks grim outside.
My eldest daughter and her family are off for a weeks camping holiday in Devon today, hope it brightens up a bit for them.
@Muddy Cyclist the issue with your signature showing you are insulin dependent has happened before. Tagging @DCUKMod to help.

Thank you, hope it gets sorted and I can remove that ridiculous banner in my signature box.

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.

Bon Weekend everyone. The sun is shining, the sky is still there and the trees are gently swaying like Señoritas who can sway.

The wonder wheel of clandestine data mining and misrepresented outcomes issued a 4.8 at 0600. Probably going to be all downhill from there.

I ran out of my flax seed crackers last night, using the last of them to make a sort of nachos and melted cheese combo with sliced pickled onions and jalapeños. So, today, best make some more and while I am at it, some flax seed wraps.

Have a great day if you can, hugs for those who want one. Koffy calls.

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who overslept this morning.
8:20am what time to wake up, 1/2 the day already gone.

Mrs J experimented last night making a diabetic cheesecake yesterday for pudding, so I am blaming that for my 7.8 this morning and oversleeping. Excuses, excuses, excuses.

Well folks have a great day, avoid the Reading area Chaos and mayhem will be out and about.

I have a large quantity of yoghurt in the instant pot - should be ready in a couple of hours. Crossing everything that it is lovely thick yoghurt that I can make ice cream with. My complete weakness. I did buy some Halo once but it seemed very sweet and I scoffed it very quickly. ;-( Bad habits.
Also waiting (still) for OH’s new laptop to be delivered. Guess who has to install everything (in German). Right! He’s a complete technophobe. I absolutely hate doing that. Even a new iPhone sits in its box waiting for me to have the required number of functioning grey cells to set it up.
I might go back to bed and hide.

Breakfast bloods

After some comments about having 3 Rivita, cream cheese and smoked salmon for breakfast, it was the Rivita that was a concern, I promised to keep all informed on how my reduced Carb breakfast affected my Blood Sugar.

Before stopping the Rivita my average readings were 5.5 to 6.5.

The new findings of Dracula

Date.
14 Aug. Before 5.7 After 7.4 18 carbs grams with 3 Rivita the 7.4 is unusual
15 Aug. Before 5.3 After 6.0 5 carbs grams
16 Aug. Before 5.5 After 7.3 7 carbs grams my cold OR the biscuit I had at 20.30 last night)
17 Aug. Before 5.6. After 6.2 2 carbs grams

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 :wideyed::***: "

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.
