15 November to be precise:D

If my maths is correct I was conceived on Valentines Day, 1968 :happy:

Truth be told I quite enjoyed it!

Favourite dish? Hmm ... a nice medium rare steak or a piece of gammon. Grandad was a butcher so we used to get some lovely cuts. Today was a better day thanks, both in terms of blood sugars and stress ... and only two more days this week and then another four day weekend! Lunch is the tricky...

No problem @liam1955 - I was diagnosed three and a half years ago and put straight on insulin. Managed OK at first but then started having a few problems and now trying to turn things round (see http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/trying-to-turn-things-around.96868/).

The ones that surprised me were Weetabix and porridge - was way up even after two hours so stopped eating them. God knows where my levels were at after an hour.

Thanks @liam1955 - I had read something to that effect but usually I'm ok. Just one of those days today! Not much hope for me though - a natural born worrier who has a stressful job! Problem is, it's a job that I've been doing for 30 years and I'm not sure I'd be much good at anything else...

Isn't this partly about when you test as well? I've never tested within an hour of eating but usually try and test two hours after. I'm pretty sure that if I was testing one hour after eating I'd be seeing more spikes but as it is most of my two hour readings are under 8.5 and recently have been...

Up and down day. Thought it would be difficult going back to work after a few days off but woke up before the alarm so got up early and was out of the front door at 5.45 to walk down to the station where I just missed the 6.30 train by 2 minutes! Got into work to 40 odd e-mails to read but...

6.4 at 0520.

Back to work tomorrow after a few days off - going to go and have a nice soak in the bath. Have a good week everybody!

B: 120g Natural yogurt (98 calories, 8 carbs, 5 fat, 5.5 protein). BS before eating 8.1, two hours after 6.6. L: Chicken sandwich on brown bread and a pear (386 calories, 40 carbs, 5 fat, 44 protein). BS before eating 7.2 (had been on a long walk), didn't check two hours after as out on another...

I've found doing something helps - something to distract you from your thoughts. Either that or if you can go out for a walk - clear your head and get some exercise at the same time. Sounds like you had things under control before so hopefully you can do it again.

Nice one! What did you have to eat?

6.4's not a bad morning reading Cathy. Could be you're getting a liver dump before you wake up - are you having a snack of any sort before you go to bed?

Welcome aboard Helen. I hope you still manage to enjoy your holiday.

Try and get them to prescribe testing strips as well as a meter.
