I'd like to know about the mayo as well please. If we are allowed to mention brand names, I'm a Hellman's fan. Never had any trouble to link to it, but would like to know what to avoid.

Personally I avoid any mayo that’s made with vegetable oils. Tesco sells a couple made with avocado oil. A bit more expensive but delicious

Libre five point nine on waking

Sunday reading - 5.0
Dexcom - 4.7

 

[CarbMaster]

This morning @ 7:47hrs
6.3 Meter
6.7 Dexcom

Well within the 20% margin of error.
Lower this morning because I went on a long walk yesterday (about 17 3/4 miles( from Newhaven to Eastbourne via the Seven Sisters chalk cliffs.

 

[CarbMaster]

My favourite is a Polish mayonnaise which is more expensive and has higher carbs 3.9g per 100g but tastes more like a home made mayo.

Libre 5.1
Did a 45 minute threshold row this morning, Watch said 36 hours recovery
Enjoy the weekend everyone

A marvellous funky 5.5 for me again this morning! I wish it would stay in the 5’s every day lol

Forgot to check before my dinner though! Hurry up and come my Libre trial thingy! Lol

 

[Ryhia]

5.2 this morning. Didn't trust the measure so tried again, 5.5.

 

[Lainie71]

Hope you feel better today

Thanks Debbie I do feel better but had some rosemary crackers today and although it took an hour for bg to start to rise, the rise went from 5.2 fbg to 9.5 for the remaining 6 hours. Felt pants but I was out with friends and the carbs looked okay Back to 5.3 now but it was terrifying seeing that Dexcom arrow pointing upwards!

 

[Lainie71]

May I ask how you realised this and what it is in mayo that causes it. Pm me if too far off topic please

Hi, its the dairy for me, same with milk, cream and aged cheese, chocolate something to do with the tyramine. Gp suspects lactose intolerant as without tmi, I was in the loo doubled up . It was Asda own but it happens with all of them. Same with coffee banging head, I have resorted to upping my Rooibos tea and no headache, possible caffeine intolerant now!

Did you do anything out of the ordinary to get that result?

No, same as usual but the previous day was 8 something so I’m liking the fact it’s in the 5s, I feel like a normal diabetic then lol

I guess you'll have to chalk it down to the fact that diabetes is a non linear condition.

4.2 at 0630 this morning. After 4.6 at bedtime last night.

I find seeing the rises make me so much more careful about what I eat, pleased it came down eventually, your numbers are so much better since starting dexcom , well done you’ve got this

Libre 4.2
Managed to rip it out putting jumper on this morning, waiting for new one to warm up

 

[OrsonKartt]

Libre currently six.

With a lovely sub six overnight line. It might even be a five line.

 

[flonvic]

[Lainie71]

6.3 this morning with Dexcom but considering the fiasco yesterday with the rosemary crackers, its expected. Off for a work out
