BS readings

Today I had venison casserole with 2 roast potatoes and half roasted sweet potato so it was with some trepidation that I tested - 5.4 pre dinner, 7.2 two hours later and 6.5 after 3 hours so it looks as though I may be ok with this.

Hi Neil

That you do :) It's now a good downward trend but no taking my foot off the gas.

As for that 2nd matter, have cut back substantially and still challenging myself :)

Correct ... have been concentrating on lowering the readings and if I keep getting those figures, then back to the other bad habit.

But down to about 5 a day. Have to keep at it :)

HI Mike,
@ 40yrs I decided to stop (20 to 30 a day), took till 50th to stop, then 10 years on nicotine gum, 60th stopped the gum, although still chew normal gum.

It's hard, but as soon as I did it, I wondered why it had been so hard.

6.7 BED 1.40am this morning.
6.0 Fasting Breakfast, forgot again, started breakfast so not a true reading.
No breakfast testing not required
Pre Lunch No Testing
7.3 2hrs 3 Pints Beer
4.6 Pre Dinner
4.8 1hr Skirt Beef 2 sm Roasts, Lrg Cauli, French Beans
5.5 2hrs Glass 1 1/2 wine
5.7 3hrs
All OK to say what I have done to day, and my weight has just started to move again.
 
Fasting 6.3
Post breakfast 6.7 included a very thick slice spelt bread - I'm becoming more comfortable including this every so often as readings don't go off the scale and it had had some beneficial benefits because of all the fibre.
