6.5 this morning at 6AM and then I went for a 2.5 miles walk and all it came down to was 5.9 and that is where it continues to stay for the moment. It is after eating day though I just had a 2 hours window for eating.

Have a great day everyone. :)

4.3 this morning it was according to the Libre2. I'm beginning to think that all my BG monitors do not measure anything they are just random number generators.

There's only about 1 teaspoon of sugar in the entire 8 pints of blood in a human adult (metrically that 4 gms in the average 70,000 grams of average adult weight)
I often wonder why we diabetics have to worry about changes of a tenth or less in that tiny amount as a proportion of the whole, and so its not surprising the meters and monitors vary so much. I'm amazed they work at all! And it doesn't help that bg seems to rise and fall within minutes if not seconds. Definitely trying to spot the changes to needle in a haystack

Morning All. 5.8 but I am a bit earlier than usual, still in bed.
@Estragon that is one of my fave meals minus the anchovies and I could easily get a 6 without the rolls and banana, so good going I say.

Yay for leaving the sticky sixes @PenguinMum . Anchovies and peppers are fine for me but I've never understood the point of aubergines. I'd say your fbg after bread rolls and banana is good @Estragon. 2nd salmon and avo salad day this week:woot:
