@Brekkie It really depends on the information you have on hand and what works for you. I find it much easier to do it from raw but the count can be very different so make sure you check the label. Ie in Australia at least the label for rice/pasta etc gives the nutritional info for cooked and...

FBG 8.8 this morning. Not good but not unexpected after going to bed at 9.8 and not taking a correction due to a few drinks. Was nieces Debutante Ball. So calculations were tricky at best and less then ideal snacking due to meals taking forever. Still a great evening.

Welcome!

Good Morning! FBG 6.6 today after a before Before Bed of 8.7. Same before bed as night before with very different FBG results though similar circumstances. Gotta love that tricky T1D.

BGL 8.0 grumble grumble grumble. Should have corrected at the before bed BGL of 8.7 but thought I would have still had insulin on board after previous bolus.

FBG this morning 6.3. Sips coffee ... yup that will do donkey that will do.

Thought I would try another brand last night. Similar effect for me unfortunately. Lol why does my body even hate “fake” sugar. Though I did also have a significant BGL drop after a minimal correction. Need to hurry up and get my hands on a CGM. PS They are yummy :)

FBG 4.7 this morning. Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor. Today is going to be a good day I won’t subject everyone to my happy dance.

FBG 6.7 after a before bed 7.8. I am going to take that as a win after a suprisingly accurate guestimate carb count of a Thai Banquet dinner.

I second the DAFNE course Idea. Not just for content but to meet other people in the same boat. :)

Didn’t get to post yesterdays FBG 7.2 ... probably a subconscious ugh. 6.8 this morning. Alittle better. Thai tonight for brothers birthday ... that should be interesting. @Estragon Chin up. I know we all beat ourselves up on less then ideal numbers (Well i know I do) but as one of my HCPs...

Go get them tiger @Estragon

I too found it slightly amusing my less then brilliant FBG post yesterday was one of those that the glitch monster ate... So moving on todays FBG 6.8 ... headed back in the right direction after yesterdays little blip. Off to follow up day for DAFNE course I completed several weeks ago.

It is often suggested to take your fast acting insulin 10-15mins before you eat so the peaks line up better. Personally most of the time i just do it immediately before the meal especially when out because of uncertainty of meal delivery times.

FBG 5.7 this morning... had to pick my jaw up off the floor after going to bed 8.4 (three hours after eating and last bolus) Decided to just take the 5.7 instead of retest. Abit cheeky but its been too long since a morning FBG in the 5s.

@mojo37 the important thing is to keep trying :)

FBG 6.2 this morning. Sips coffee and prepares for the day ahead.

FBG 6.1 this morning. I’m happy with that. Edging closer to the “Magic” 5s.

FBG 6.4 .... consistent

6.7 this morning. Quietly drinks coffee before madness of the day begins.
