6.7 this morning. The freebie Dexcom expired a week or so back and I'm still trying to decide whether I sign up for maybe 3 months or not, as I did find it useful for tracking what happened after eating different foods.

I had a few home made sausage rolls yesterday, then sausage and eggs for dinner.

Did the usual 5km lunchtime walk with the dog as well.

I use the Dexcom and my numbers have been better since. If I go back to just stabbing my fingers I fall off the wagon. I could not cope without a cgm now lol
