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

    Awoke this morning to test BG 12.2 mmol. A bit disappointed as all I ate last night at around 7pm was a tinned tuna sandwich, with 2 rounds of bread. It has to be the bread that's given me a higher reading and I should know better by now, not to eat the damned stuff. Have a lovely weekend x

    ‘Stop Eating After 7pm’ Challenge

    I'll be battling the early hours grab on food, as I often / mostly awaken for an hour or so between 2 and 4am, before nodding off for more kip. I do my best to fight the impulse on a fridge raid, but haven't always been successful. This week is adding incentive to me abstaining from munching the...
