So 4.8 for me this morning.

Ran an experiment today to see how well I’m adjusting to carb levels without having to do a correction dose (as technically I’m basal only now).

At lunch was 5.5 and had a subway 6” for lunch.

This was calculated at 56 grams of carbs, double my usual lunch number.

BG at dinner: 5.1

Expecting 7 - 9 so I’m more than pleased…

Edit: just to note I’m not looking to boost my carb intake, I’m more than happy with the amount I’m currently on for both my BG and weight loss. However I’m trying to work out what I need to do if going out with friends to celebrate a birthday or when on vacation (doing one of the Disney Cruise Line UK staycations in 2 weeks and can’t see them doing meals at my usual carb levels).

7.3 which is terrible. I had an upset tummy most of yesterday and needed to eat a slice of real bread and butter at one point but still...

Hope the tummy is better now and feel for you with this bizarre run of higher than normal fbg. You'll be back to normal soon.
