5.9! Back in the green! Still coughing when laying down so another suboptimal nights sleep, but if it means I'm back down where I belong, I'll take that!

Very appropriate meme today @karen8967. Hugs all round @DEBBIESCOTT @DJC3 @garyclark82 @Estragon - well maybe elbow bumps just now. @JohnEGreen your fbg is a little chink of sunshine. My fbg averages 5.3 ish via Stabbo on Nov 2nd over 6 years. I haven't seen @Pipp or @PenguinMum post yet but have an elbow bump ladies - I'm all heart.

Morning All well…a 7.0. Had lunch out yesterday salmon & ratatouille, safe I thought, so just had scrambled eggs in evening which was 5.7 before on Libre, fine I thought, I know nothing.
@DJC3 gentle hugs for the stomach cramps, hope you feel better asap. Hugs virtual oc for anyone else who needs them.

5.8 this morning.

 

[Pipp]

Elbow bumps back at ya, @ianpspurs
Well fasting made not a scrap of difference, 8.0 again.
I know, but I don’t feel like smiling but I will wave, as Ivam off out for a walk, a swim, and a bit of a sulk.

7.4 yesterday poor sleep ..and a much better 6.2 this am .I'm beginning to think that poor sleep is worse than high carbs.

It most certainly isn't just all about carb control. Necessary but far from sufficient. I have also found some evidence that LC can cause poor sleep. Haters gonna hate any hint of clouds in the LC sky but that is very much my experience which is why I went looking. I imagine it is a nightmare for those working, especially on shifts.

Mine at 8am today was 6.6 fasting, after workout 6.2 - but why do I always get a headache after a work out, any ideas out there?

Drink more water? Electrolytes in the form of santander magnesium?
Just ideas
