Morning from a very unhappy Bluetit :(

5.6 at bedtime (usually lower)
6.5 this morning. (monthly averages have been 5.6 or lower since June)

That is my HIGHEST ever fasting since getting my meter last April. Tested 3 times, and all readings were the same. I was only 7 on diagnosis in January. Tried and tested meal last night, nothing untoward in it. Nothing out of routine. Hands scrubbed etc. Sound night's sleep. Not cold. Not hot. No stress. No sign of illness. Totally perplexed. :confused::mad::confused::eek::arghh:
Sorry to hear that @Bluetit1802 ...hope you get to the bottom of it...if not put down to a blip...watch the trend...blips though perplexing,,,have to be put into context and taken with the appropriate perspective....i had a couple of them last week...:pompous:

So horrid when we get unexpected readings. I got a 10 last week. No idea why at all. Tom is a new day. Sending hugs xxx

Have had a bad day today and am feeling quite miserable :-(
Bg this morning 10.6. Slept in for work, and when I got there realised that I should have been somewhere else for our team day! - bad start! Got to the venue; fortunately I had taken some ham, cream and an avocado with me, as all that was on offer were cakes, pastries and biscuits. Lunch was equally disappointing with curry and rice, or plain salad, followed by Death by Chocolate cake and cream. Had salad with my avocado, and caved in and had some cake and cream. Bg 2hrs after was 12.6! ***?! Just sat through the whole afternoon becoming increasingly mis, wish I could retire!!!
Sorry to hear that mate....TOMORROW is ANOTHER DAY a new DAWN...A Better PLACE...we ALL have these days sometimes...just let it go for now....BETTER NEWS COMING!

Thanks, it's hard to remain positive though, I woke up feeling rotten so I'm just going to write today off. Sometimes the only option is to put myself to bed and sleep it off :sleep:

Thanks everyone for your good wishes x

Hi mike have a look at dr r bernstein's book "diabetis explained 4 th edition" he states normal bs's are between 3.4 to 4.8 with a rise of only 1.0 and returning to normal within 1 hr, there are a few posters on here who regularly post at 3.4 , i myself am aiming for 4.3 or thereabouts. But as we know were all........different ::))

5.2 at bedtime and nothing over 6.9 all day. Happy with that as I've had bread and pasta today - admittedly not in the quantities I once would have done.....

Is this man ever satisfied! ;) I say well done.
It's unfamiliar territory BT .... but most of my morning readings are usually after I've been awake for an hour or so. It's only recently I test as soon as I wake and generally, those numbers are always 5.4 or below. :)
