Thanks buddy. I am a little bit chuffed with myself today

Just in from my cycle home at it is now 3.9 which is the lowest result all week..

5.5 today..

I have noticed that on occasion, actually Tues & Wed's of this week in particular I have become overwhelmingly tired and had a nap for a hour immediately after my evening meal. I am right in saying that this is my body's reaction to the carbs? I so wish I had joined this forum earlier. The only...
