6.5 this morning. A bit disappointed that the predicted rain never happened overnight and my straw patch garden continues to suffer. At least the drought is keeping the weeds at bay.

6.0 this fine and sunny morning. Makes a change to see the sun so early as it has been fairly cloudy all week. Happy holiday.

5.9 on the finger prick. A bit lower on the CGM and no scary spikes yesterday, just slow rises and falls as day progresses. Drops down below 4 overnight and I dearly wished it would stay there but sadly not.

The expected jump out of the 5's today to 6.8 Could not understand why I had a few low readings when life choices not changed, same goes for jump back into 6's. Just one of the unexplainable factors we have to live with. Going back to CGM for a bit more experimentation with different foods, can...

5.7 today. Well pleased, enough said.

5.9 today, just hanging on to the 5's but numbers have been rising all week with lack of control by me.

5.8 today. Pleased it is within the 5's but absolutely no idea why. Wished I knew what has bought about the recent lows as I would continue the same routine but nothing has changed for me during past weeks. Just like the unexplained and annoying highs we all experience I am having similar...

Always baffled by results but this time took an unexpected low at 5.6 when testing at 0700. Happy with reading but not a clue as to why.

An improved 6.1 this morning. Good start for week ahead, good luck all.

7.7 fully deserved as bad choices at BBQ yesterday.

A welcome 6.6 after a hot uncomfortable night, Keeping off the naughty step for now at least.

@flonvic that naughty step is often very overcrowded. Some of us wondering what we did to deserve the high readings and several others wondering what on earth is going on with seemingly un-deserved results. This morning I had a welcome 6.0 but with the weekend looming I expect several visits to...

Forgot, 6.3 yesterday, 6.6 today both on about normal 80g carbs.

I share your pain and frustration. Recently I went low carb (well approx below 30g per day) for just over 2 1/2 weeks when family were away and I could be in total control of my diet. I wanted to lower my numbers but the 1st morning figure stayed the same as did the gradual rise throughout the...

Totally baffled, 8.8 at 0700 with less than 50g carbs yesterday. Something weird going on in the background, feel OK but brassed off with BS result. Did try another stick for 2nd opinion but 8.7 second time around.

7.0 this morning. Better than expected as BBQ yesterday but my usual weakness is the drinks but I just stuck to a couple of glasses of wine which kept both my blood alcohol and blood sugar within limits. Was a bit of a personal struggle though especially as several cocktails on offer however the...

A sad 8.3 this morning. Putting it down to the effects of blackberries as had some yesterday for dinner and before bed finger prick was a horrifying 10.7 which I found strange as would of thought raw berries, no sugar should not spike numbers. On the bright side at least I have found another...

6.9 today, hoping it is a downward trend but won't hold my breath.

7.3 again this morning, must still have been dreaming of steak pie, chips and ice cream. Only thing I can put rise down to is eating occasional blackberries after being roped into picking them yesterday. Didn't think I ate that many but possibly my liver had a different opinion.

I tend to agree with all of the advice stated here. For me my light bulb moment was actually going against advice from my diabetic nurse and trying to avoid all carbs. I never used to eat a breakfast or much bread out of personal preference but since being diagnosed with T2 I was told to eat...
