    Type 2s: What was your fasting blood glucose in a morning? (very low chat level)

    10.0 today at 9.15am. Up from 8.4 yesterday. But I took a statin yesterday and my figures always go higher after taking a statin!! Been like this since 2007.

    Lidl Hi protein buns

    I ask as these were freshly baked this morning and are sold loose, no information available with regard to carbs etc, but I had one for breakfast with the Mighty Marmite and lashings of butter and just had another for lunch with spinach.

    I should add that I’ve been at our holiday home here in Spain since the 29th March and will be here until the 15th May and so am subject to the full time healthy Mediterranean Diet. Plus of course a few rays from that great yellow orb in the sky.

    My waist is 34”. Statins are a pain in the a*se but I was put on them some eleven years ago after a bit of remedial work was done to my heart at Wythenshawe. Portion sizes are as per recommended by the dietician. DCM.

    That was before breakfast. A full English would go down a treat but ‘She who must be obeyed, aka The Rottweiler’ keeps me in check. Two boiled eggs and the smell of a barmaids apron is the best I can do.....on a good day!!!
