5:20 this evening

I only test once a day as soon as I get up. I’ve felt sick late afternoon recently. It’s a catch 22 situation because I don’t want to eat because I feel sick, on the other hand I’ve often felt sick because I’ve needed something to eat and on these occasions I’ve had a chunk of cheese or slice of...

Straight up 6 at 7:30 today Beautiful sunny morning and a song thrush is serenading me whilst I sip my coffee. Has anyone heard from @Welshman1952 @OrsonKartt or @Ashybang recently? They’re the only 3 that spring to mind that used to post regularly, there maybe others and apologies if I’ve...

Scraped in at 6:50! Neighbour came round for a cuppa. She’s Spanish and never eats earlier than 9pm! She always forgets I eat around 6! :joyful:

6.2 again yawn! :joyful: Have a lovely Saturday everyone - lots to do today and tomorrow packing for holiday. I’m sure the dogs have more stuff than I do!

It was called Total Sweet and as far as my research went it didn’t have any bulking agent or maltodextrin. I don’t have any problem with sticking with erythritol and I use it less and less now anyway ;)

Finished off the cottage pie and cauli mash by 5:30. I agree @MrsA2 not salad weather at all, in fact I was tempted to put the heating on for an hour but got my big jumper out instead ;)

I can’t use xylitol as it sends my BG up quite high. I've made jam with erythritol and not had a problem with crystallising but I do put a couple of splashes of lemon juice in it and thats supposed to stop that happening.

I used to have ACV regularly but I’ve got out of the habit. A typical balsamic vinegar has around 3g of carbs per 15ml. That’s a lot when you’re trying to restrict carbs to 20g a day.

Thank you @Rachox I've ordered the Tee2+ meter and test strips. I did have a GlucoRx mini but the strips we £12.95 and then they we’re changing me £3.95 for delivery! Spirit Health is free delivery within the uk and only £10.99 for the strips.

I’m obviously impersonating a yo-yo again! Up half a pound :rolleyes:

5.8 at 7:15am Thank you @LivingLightly I have a diabetic review booked on Friday afternoon to discuss the results ;)

when the medical profession asks for a ‘fasting’ blood test they mean no food for 8-10 hours before the test so going on this summation when we test our BG first thing in the morning it’s classed as a fasting BG. Hope this helps explain the topic heading

@Dinet As you can see we’re posting the times we finish eating so the answer is yes! What are the usual things you eat for you main meal? Perhaps you’re not eating enough?

6.1 at 7:30 this morning. Forgot to post :rolleyes: My hba1c tomorrow and my operation hangs on the results so I’m a bit anxious as I haven’t been as good as I could have been

Warburtons Danish Bread is slightly higher in carbs but as you say good for bacon butties! That thought is making my mouth water lol!

I finished at 5:50pm this damp evening!

I get offered them every year and have always decline and will continue to do so. I value my brain (I think someone before me has said the same. It occurred to me only the other day that heart attacks were almost unheard of until President Eisenhower had one in the 50s. This was blamed on his...

Very rare for me to cook a proper dinner! This evening I had cottage pie with buttery cauliflower mash. I’m hoping that as I’ve made enough for eight portions that the 2 carrots and the onion I put in it won’t cause too much harm. I’ll find out tomorrow.

I can’t make head nor tail of this diabetes thing! I’ve been in the low 6s for over 2 weeks and was thinking maybe my metre had got stuck! This morning it was 5.2! Maybe my meter sensed I was googling new metres :joyful:
