7.0 this morning…. Had my lowest reading before bed last night at 5.9 so I was hoping it would be lower this morning The body is a strange thing ….

Thanks for all your responses …. Just getting used to testing…. Initially when diagnosed I never tested and all my Hba1c results were under 40…. While eating so called healthy carbs, bananas and one sweet treat a day! Now if I even look at bread, potatoes or a banana for example it raises my...

Woohoo another 6.9 first thing for me Even got a 5.9 yesterday just before dinner Definitely seeing an overall trend downwards thankfully… even if I have an odd blip

7.2 this morning at 6.50 am … fell back asleep and it Dropped to 6.9 about 2 hours later 7.4 after coming back from a walk

Yes diet only …. Low carb …and walking most days if possible… Getting bloods done next week to find out my Hba1c so feeling hopeful for a drop in that too

6.8 for me this morning…… first time in the sixes since I started testing in February was mostly double figures then so I’m taking this as a win! Hope everyone has a lovely Friday x

When I was first diagnosed back in 2018, my reason to lower my Hba1c was pure embarrassment. I was embarrassed I’d let my self get overweight, never exercised and ate unhealthy foods …. I know that’s not the same for everyone but I would say how I treated my body over the years was definitely...

So is the fact this would cause a large rise in 30 mins be an issue…. Or is it acceptable as it’s gone by 90 mins? As a example: If I test before a meal and let’s say it’s on the range of 6.5-7 …. But by the test 2 hours later my numbers are maybe range of 7 - 8. I would assume that meal is...

Yeah that’s makes sense Definitely won’t be trying all those things together in the one meal as I don’t like seeing the numbers spike like that I’ll try to stick to what I know doesn’t cause huge spikes …. Thanks folks

My reading was 7 just before meal Was 7.5 2 hours later …. Lulling me into a false sense of security Then was 9.9 another 2 hours later

Thanks guys, that makes sense. Again another lesson learned. I had expected a bit of a rise as I did look for sausages with the most meat content etc I had one of the cauliflower hash browns before but was with a meal with minimal carbs…. The combination last night was carb overload Back on...

Hi Had a little blip at dinner … 2 cocktail sausages… 85% pork Couple slices black pudding 2 cauliflower hash browns Baked egg Mushrooms Tested just before first bite Tested 2 hours later … only small increase of 0.5 Tested another 2 hours later and had risen by about another 2.5 Obviously too...

Sorry to hear you are going through this. Unfortunately seems to be the case that some health professionals can’t look beyond one thing….. take care x

7.3 for me this morning….

8.2 this morning …. Think your making progress and then back in the 8’s … having lots of heart burn so notice it always goes higher when I have a flare up Random question…. Are u supposed to test when u first wake up or when you get up … I can wake v early in the morning do usually don’t test...

8.2 ….

8.1 for me this morning…

7.2 this morning…. Very surprising as although I didn’t have chocolate yesterday I treated myself to a takeaway (veggie kebab without the kebab and some chicken) and 2 hours later my numbers had sky rocketed…. Lesson learned…. Interestingly I had the same takeaway 2 weeks ago from a different...

7.7 this morning …. Now the question is do I allow myself a small bit of Easter egg for the day that is in it … I know I don’t need it as I’ve survived the last few months without chocolate Have a blood test for Hba1c scheduled in 3 weeks so don’t want to mess it up Happy Easter everyone

7.2 for me this morning … love to see the low 7’s …. Here’s hoping to get into the 6’s soon
