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.

Hi mate

A good and kind member sent me a book on the topic of quitting and I'm still wading thru it but it is SOOO true. You just don't need them.

Mike :)

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.
