My numbers have been fairly good for ages,nearly always between 4.8 and 5.8 I am not on any meducation. I got up this morning at 10.50am and did a prick test which was 7.8 and i was a bit shocked. That is my highest number since i started checking myself about 4 months ago.
Yesterday was a good day foodwise in that i didnt do anything silly, and my last meal was at 19.30 pm.
I have been digging into the Cadburys Roses and sherry trifle over the Christmas and had a few pints, nothing major.

I had breakfast at 11.25am (2 boiled sggs, 1 slice of high protein bread 7g Carbs,I cup of tea and a tiny treacle bun) and went for a walk (i hour) I tested myself againg at 13.25 and it read 6.5?
Could anybody decipher that for me?
I am confused about prick tests,are they higher after you have been up for a while? or if you rise a bit later than usual?
 
Hi, maybe the problem is the carbs you consumed over the Christmas period, lay off the chocs and the beer and perhaps your numbers will stabilise in time. Most beers and cr*p chocolate are high in carbs and are best avoided. Walking often helps in reducing blood sugar levels, sometimes only temporally though.
