I had just checked my BG, I still got a spite but it was much smaller. Got a reading of 10.4 just now, still a bit high. But not as big a spite as I feared. We'll see how I am in the morning. I looked at the overall averages, these seem to gradually be coming down. So that is encouraging...

I'm just learning about this. I'm newly diagnosed within the past three weeks. I've been trying to eat the same basic meals, but I find that my numbers still fluctuate from day to day, and there may be no obvious reason for this. For example I had a turkey dinner last Sunday for Thanksgiving...

The mention of rats put me in mind of a story that happened in my city last year around Christmas time. This story is 100% true, and even made the national news here in Canada. I'll post a link. I hope you don't mind me sharing it in this thread. Just before Christmas last year, a woman in my...

My number was 8.7 this morning. Not happy seeing the number creep up like that. Think I need more turkey in my diet. ;)

I had some asparagus last week. They were nice, served with a little cream cheese. Wrapped in prosciutto is nice too.

I love eggs too. Lately I've been having two scrambled for breakfast. I need to mix it up, maybe a cheese omelette. Eggs are awesome because you can do a lot with them.

BG was 7.9 not happy, will take it easy today. Was up this morning early for a bit. Plus I thinks the turkey and leftovers finally got to me.

Oddly, I don't have sweet cravings like I use to. My sweet of choice was fizzy drinks like coke, or ginger ale. Two, or three weeks ago things really went to pot, and I found myself in the hospital with very high blood sugar. I was newly diagnosed as diabetic, and was just starting...

So my BG was a nice 6.4 today. Happy for sure, but slightly mystified by that number. After my meal yesterday I was expecting it to maybe be higher. But I'll happily take this. Hope everyone has a great day.

I'll be getting my flu shot at my family clinic. It would be awful to have to deal with both diabetes and the flu together. So I won't chance it this year. It is free here, I just have to book an appointment in November when the clinic will have their supply.

Nice to meet you Michelle. That's a pretty happy peppy puppy you have there.

I got 7.8, a little high but still early days for me. It has been higher for me in the past, so I'm usually happy with in the seven range for now. Going to have a turkey dinner tonight for Thanksgiving so I'm looking forward to that.

I take two doses of metformin, once at breakfast, and once at dinner. I also take other meds. I have a pill box which my meds. I sometimes still forget to take before my meal, and take as soon as I remember.

Peanut butter cookie are my favorite cookies. For a late night snack I usually have some soda cracks with peanut butter on them.

For dinner tonight I had two hamburger patties with onions on them and some low sodium soya sauce, rice, yellow beans, a small salad with Italian dressing. Dessert was sugar free jello and tea with milk.

I love cheese. My dietitian was all for me exploring different kinds of cheese. There some really nice choices out there. I've haven't tried eating out a all because it seems questionable as to what would be in it. I will eventually get brave and eat out once I get a better sense of what...

I have a bag I carry my tablet in, so I've been tossing my meter in that as well. Something to jazz up the case would be cool though.

For dinner yesterday I had salmon with lemon and low sodium soya sauce, rice, asparagus with cream cheese, and a small salad with Italian dressing. For dessert I had a small container of unsweetened apple sauce and a cup of tea with milk.

My morning BG was 7.1. I'm happy with this because it is down from yesterday. I took it a bit easier yesterday, and made sure to drink more water through the day, something I sort of forget to do sometimes. I think it helped to get a better number today. Cheers.

Thanks I saw my diabetic nurse and yesterday. I tend to spike a bit through the day, she felt that it was likely do to medication and that adjustments will be needed. Still early days for me on this journey.
