What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

6.4….likely caused by the beef stew I made. Although I fished out mostly meat, I did have a small bit of carrot and onion….and the gravy was vegetable cocktail thickened with a bit of cornstarch….all bad for me. I was surprised to not really have a big rise is blood sugar…up to 7.1 and quickly down again to low sixes…but it stayed there all night and into the morning. Bummer. Hubby now has a monsterous pot of stew to eat. He’s not sad about it, it’s very yummy.
I found some carb free sausages in my freezer so I’ll pair that with some eggs for supper. At least I’m able to tolerate half an apple with almond butter.
 
5.6 libre. brrrrr its cold outside, general housework today little bit too cool for my liking for a walk outside.

current libre ends later today, have found it appears to be a little more accurate when inserted for more than the usual 'warmup' period. prepped area still having to use elma cream. think i'll start trying to reduce time elma cream is on by 5 mins or something hopefully in the future i wont take so long to do. still takes agesss even thou its almost 10 months since started to use them.
 
7.9 first thing. Proof positive (at least for me) we are what we eat. My holiday diet has gone to pieces last few days and I am truly "off the grid" when it comes to carb control. Found it quite surprising that even some meals that I have at home say omelette and bacon hardly raises BS but out here same breakfast meal sends my BS into double figures as if they cook it in syrup or similar. Funnily enough I am sure I have seen similar comments to that effect on here before. Not going to let it get me down as it is only a blip in the grand scheme of things and hopefully back to normal at the end of the week. Fingers crossed.
