It's not usual that you Aussies are ahead of us is it?, like 'winning', (I think i'm treading on dangerous ground here).

Didn't realize it was your xmas day, (my ignorance) Mike, but I suspect i'll be doing exactly the same, poking about on here at some time tomorrow.

I'll let you have your snooze now.

Fasting/breakfast 5.8
Pre lunch 5.7
Post lunch 5.6
Pre dinner 4.9
Post a whopping 7.8 - possibly too close to exercise to take it and I had quite a carb laden dinner and didn't take my evening Metformin

Also does anyone else find a warm bath raises their levels? I thought it should lower them, but if I test post bath I'm always way higher than expected.

Hope you had a lovely Christmas Day. 7.8 is still within the acceptable range according to the NHS.

Yes, I go up a bit after a warm bath, but not always. I believe some type 1's on here have to inject for baths and showers.

Do you weigh or measure your normal breakfast, or do you guess?
Something is working for you as you dropped back down again after your chips, so that is good. Strange the wine made you go up again though.
 
Happy Boxing Day everyone

OK Christmas Day readings

5.3 Fasting
5.2 at 8-30pm about 6 hours after dinner and before supper
5.3 at bedtime
5.4 this morning

No post meal testing, didn't dare! But so pleased that my over indulgence didn't cause lasting problems.

Apart from the dinner when I had 4 roasties and a lot of gravy (which spikes me), too many peas and carrots, plus the OK stuff, I just had one After Eight mint, and one Cadbury's Milk Caramel.
 
ok here is xmas dinner (gulp)
pre = 5
45 mins = 9.1
75 mins = 9.1
105 mins = 6.1
and lower it went after that.
I blame the 9.1 on the large portion of Christmas Pudding but hey ho far more carbs than I have been eating for a few weeks
and also down to 12stone 3lbs on the Christmas Morning
 
Well Christmas day was very enjoyable especially if you saw my BS reading, suffice to say they were quite high and were still high this morning before breakfast. Just done my 2hr after test and I am now back into single digits. Hopefully we can now get it back to correct levels.

Happy Boxing days to you all

Hi Bluetit,
Thanks for your report.
No I don't weigh my breakfast, Yogurt by Desert spoon full, berry's by handful but Granola (the enemy) is sprinkled on, I may have sprinkled more than usual, I will watch that..

I thought the same about the chips something must be working I never seem to spike for long.

I don't think it's the wine which makes the numbers go back up, I seem to have this effect after exercising (will have to do more tests) always appears to drop an exceptional amount but then drifts back up once I returned. Some of this drop could be the result of sometimes very cold fingers upon return and testing.

Bit of a surprise for me today - pre b/fast 6.6 but 2 hours after was 4.6! Tested twice to check the reading too. I've now spoilt it by having a small piece of Christmas cake (hubby had the icing though) my first but, alas, probably not my last for this Christmas!!
