BS readings

What did you have with your jacket? The 5.1 was probably a rogue reading. A lot of fat would have prolonged the rise.

I had a large Knob of butter and it was a medium size spud, plus nearly 1/2 a caulli with cheese saucse, tiny amount of flour to thicken, large helping of green beans.

As for the rogue reading although I didnt wash my hands & did not think of retesting either as i had just finished my walk I was pleased with this result.

I'm not surprised you were pleased with the 5.1, but sadly I think it was a rogue reading. There was quite a bit of fat with your meal so that will have prolonged your time in the 6's. If the 5.1 was a correct reading, I can't explain why it should go up again. Maybe others will have an idea.

Post breakfast 5.2 - really happy with that as had a small well buttered slice of artisan spelt bread with my eggs. First bread since May 2nd and it was delicious. Going to slice rest of loaf and freeze to have occasionally.

Was really pleased as I had soup from the canteen - potato & leek and I was really worried about it.

5.5 fasting
No breakfast tests
No pre-lunch test
Lunch out ..... piece of homemade granary bread covered with egg mayo, baby salad leaves, red onion, and marinated cucumber. Left some of the cucumber as it was very sweet. Mineral water.
2.5hrs after 8.4
 

Ouch!!!! How big a piece of bread? Did you have dressing? I find a lot of places use quite a sugary vinegraitte.
