Thanks all. So far today I've burnt my lip ("just the tiniest splash please") and purchased both a set of small bottles then a cute little vacuum flask. This diabetes lark is getting expensive.;)

I wish I'd read this before I left for work this morning......enough said

Thanks @HSSS I've purchased some 250ml empty bottles and a bottle brush and so begins the saga of me leaving smelly milk bottles all over the city. Option 3 would be ideal but I spent all last week with a bundle of green teabags that never made it out my handbag. Years ago I "trained" myself...

I'm embracing and enjoying a low carb journey and find myself thinking about all the carbs I "waste" in the copious cups of tea with milk I drink across the day. At home I use unsweetened almond milk which is fine as I count it as about 0.5 for two cups. The problem is work. I have several...

Sunday morning and 6.2 at 6 am

6.5 at 7.30am a wee bit better

Thanks. I'm not even going to write it down and spoil my run.

Sat down to my lunch today and the meter said 9.1. Its a bit random because I was high 6s low 7s all day yesterday. I haven't eaten anything since yesterday dinner and in three weeks low carb my readings are very rarerly over 8 (and that's early morning with the dawn phenom stuff) I started...

7.6 at 5am I'm impatient to be over the DP thing. Yes I know it will take a while.

I don't have any big ideas(yet) but I'm a planner and just wanted to say I thought this thread was a great idea. Thank you. I already know the low carb chocolate slab cake I bought and tried yesterday will feature heavily in my Christmas fayre

Hi @Emma Gill I'm happy to share if you don't mind my scribbles and abbreviations. Remember I'm brand new to this and still working things out and please forgive my terrible spelling and handwriting. There are also errors within this for example I was counting too high for the almond milk and...

These are my immediately before and two hours after numbers for the first two weeks low carb. Am I good to assume that because they rarely go up by more than 1 and often drop I'm on the right track even though some are higher than ideal?

7,7 at 5,30 am grrrrr

At two weeks low carbs statements like the above and when @JoKalsbeek basically said "better out than in" last week help me as a newbie come to terms with high early morning numbers when there are mostly fives and sixes for the rest of the day. Over the last week I've enjoyed skipping meals. Its...
