BS readings

@ally1 I understand how hard it is to say no sometimes, I struggle myself. Today I had dinner at my parents roast beef and even though I said not to, my dad put two roast potatoes and two Yorkshire puddings on my plate and like a lamb to the slaughter I ate them and thoroughly enjoyed them if I am honest. Pre lunch I was 6.2 2hrs late I was 9.6... My body doesn't like being high anymore and I had a terrible pressure headache all afternoon.

After a little sleep in the bath when I got home lol I am now down to 4.8 before my tea. Think I too need to practice saying no.....

Ally, your reading of 11.9 was 3 and a half hours later and well on its way down. Goodness knows what it was at 1 hour and 2 hours after you ate them. Please have a word with your neighbour before your next afternoon cuppa. We are only trying to help.
 
Great results for your breakfast Ally...

I tried something new this morning.. I was 6.6 pre breakfast and 8.0 after...grrr I think the 1.4 BS rise is okay on the whole...but its given me a bit of pressure headache and I didn't enjoy the breakfast either... whats more all I can think about is shortbread biscuits. lol
 
kezzer, my morning readings are in my mind still high but they are coming down
 
Hi Ally, what you need to celebrate is the fact that they are coming down...Its a struggle everyday for us diabetics not to fall back into the old habits... god knows I buried my head in the sand for long enough. I think your doing amazingly well and before you know it, I am sure your reading will be down to where you want them
 
Oh dear. Not good. Our neighbour killed himself in February completely out of blue and it does shake you. X
 
so sorry about your neighbour alliebee, thinking of you
 
Ally1. Just a suggestion. You seem to have a good rapport with your neighbour. Why not make some low carb muffins and bring them along to your next visit. That way you can treat her/him and keep your blood sugar normal(ish).

I have to say that it's been a joy watching you get your levels down and under control. Your body will thank you so please continue the hard work. Sometimes it's a struggle for all of us.
