6.3 first thing, no surprises, the only raised eyebrow is why doesn't it get any lower. On the CGM it drops to 3 overnight and begins a slow but steady rise as the night rolls on each and everyday. I suppose I could wake and test around 5AM and see lower figures but I love my sleep. It seems my...

I am in a similar position re. strips. A couple of years ago my DN recommended I did some testing but would not provide any strips or test meter. I do fund my own strips from an online supplier as I can get 50 strips for the price of 20 at local chemist which I think is a real rip-off. The good...

6.5 today and no sign of numbers decreasing despite my ongoing battle with green tea. Well done to all those with the 4's and 5's, I am extremely envious. On the flip side I know exactly how @flonvic feels sometimes when things don't go the right way but never give up, don't let it beat us.

6.1 to start the week, reasonably happy after slightly dodgy weekend.

7.0 this morning, a bit later testing than usual but have to be content with result due to bad choices of diet last night. Moviing on, hopefully leaving the naughty step behind but can never be certain these days.

6.4 as expected today, going for a beer and curry tonight so fasting all day to try and keep numbers as low as poss. Expect it may be quite crowded on the naughty step tomorrow.

@LouT Hi sorry to hear of your diagnosis but thankfully not the end of the world although it may seem it at the time. Your numbers will come down with medication and the weird and annoying symptoms will diminish or even completely disappear. You will find on this site many experiences...

7.2 later reading this morning. Going to give green tea a try, must admit will try anything to get figures lower so welcome others successes and methods.

6.6 reasonable starting point but like @OrsonKartt and others my numbers rise uncontrollably to around 9 or 10 with or without food until a slow afternoon drop before dinner. Overnight drops to 3 or 4 while I sleep. Just wished I could influence this daily trend and get lower numbers during the...

6.8 today, up a bit later than usual so expected slight rise in readings. Slept well so appreciated bit of a lie-in.

6.3 again today, just to prove a point stuck in the 6,s.

6.3 Happy to be settling back to my average. Would like lower but have never managed to maintain levels below the 6's. I suppose it is just my BS levels irrespective of external influences. Obviously bad choices can make them go up but the baseline is in the 6's.

6.2 today, enjoy your day wherever you are. Probably not going to be a sunny one for those in the UK, welcome storm Amy, if nothing else my garden could do with some rain.

6.5 this morning. Numbers slowly coming down and trying to get back on more controlled diet.

7.4 this morning despite only 34g carbs yesterday which is almost a record number in past couple of weeks. Still it is a better reading than the 9's and10's of past weeks so have to take it as a win. Missing the sunshine but can't really say I am enjoying the fog.

Morning all, back from hols and what a relief to feel sub 10°C temperature at night. Landed at 0230 with 3 hours sleep just now. Tested 7.7 which is one of the better results of the last few weeks surprisingly. Hoping to get back on track with diet after an awful roller coaster carb journey and...

Reading this thread brings it home to me how simillar the situations are to my own and I have every sympathy to the OP. I tend to find that we are treated by my GP practice as self inflicted sufferers draining their budgets. I had never seen the inside of a Drs surgery for 30 years yet when I...

A hug for the first walking effort as must be quite painful:eek: A laugh for the snail though:D

Still struggling with dietary choices in hotel, made my mind up to convince my wife that next year should be a self catering holiday as food choices and portion sizes totally uncontrollable eating in restaurant. Even what seems like a good low carb bacon and egg breakfast sends finger prick up...

Managing to get a few finger prick tests in now and again but results always disappointing although expected. Low carb options few and far between except at breakfast. Yesterday went for an 11 mile walk around resort with a sea swim in between, nothing to eat except a warm litre bottle of water...
