I am going to try again tomorrow with half the quantity as it was quite a big bowlful. Will let you know the results.

I can't afford too many test strips at the moment so try to limit my usage. In this case would the bg at one hour have been lower than at two since it wasn't at its peak at two hours?

Being prediabetic I wanted to see if I was able to eat it or not. I think I was being a bit too optimistic ! Does a late spike mean insulin resistance is good or bad?

I bought some rolled jumbo porridge oats today as I wanted to test my bg with porridge. I made 1/2 cup porridge with 1 cup of water and a bit of salt then added a few blackberries and some cream when it was cooked. Before my bg was 5.5 After 2 hours my bg was 6.0 - that's OK I thought. Then...

Usual dog walk today, just managed to escape the rain! No cross trainer today but I did change the bedding on son's double bed - that is enough exercise! I can only mange a couple of minutes on the cross trainer I am so unfit :)

Hope you feel better soon zand. Dog walking, cross trainer day 4 and cleaning the kitchen for me today

Another nice sunny day, another dog walk and day 3 on the cross trainer

I have excelled myself today...dog walk, cross tra\iner and ironing:) This is more than I have done all week! Shirts have been ironed for next week for school and work. Hubby and I had a nice dog walk, it was lovely and sunny...but cold. Day 2 of the cross trainer was worse than yesterday...

Hooray...I have at last used the cross trainer:) only a short time but it a start! i will do a few short amounts over the evening and hope to build it up. No dog walk today though:(

I had a very windy walk with the dog today. I had intended to use the cross trainer but somehow didn't get round to it and now I am in my PJs watching TV I don't think it will happen...tomorrow!

I'm in... I am still doing my hour dog walk but it is my aim to increase my exercise (as it has been for every challenge - oops!)

I think I will save my strips and start again next week. Let's hope the stress of back to school doesn't put them up again!!

I am pre diabetic too. I use the code free and tend to buy the strips from amazon as I have survey vouchers. I will have a look at eBay. My cough and cold have gone but I seem to be getting hot flushes so could be the menopause...not sure if that would affect levels or not.

Due to finances I haven't tested for a while but eventually managed to get some strips before Christmas. My levels are normally in the 5s, since I started retesting they have been in the 6s and I had a fasting level of 7.2 yesterday which I have never had before. Being on holiday my sleep...

I tested the peanut 9 bar (with a mug of tea) today: Before bg was 5.6 After 2 hours 5.1 Happy with that!

Happy Christmas to you too ally!

thank you! I will try them tomorrow.

OK my testing started again today... I didn't do a fasting test as I was up too late and had a mug of tea before I got up. For breakfast I had 2 fried eggs with 2 slices of ham (proper ham off the bone from the butchers) Before lunch my bg was 6.0 - I was getting hungry by then so could have...

I was going to make these today but wasn't sure how much butter to use. How much should I put in? I am a very basic cook and need exact amounts or who knows what it will turn out like:)

I never liked mince pies before!
