BS readings

OK to days reading are not particularly good

Pre Breakfast (no food since 10:30 night before) 4.9, 2hrs later 7.8
Pre lunch 6.5, 2hrs later 11.6
Pre evening meal 8.4, 2hrs later 6.7

Not sure why the big jump for breakfast as I had the same as I always have, I think the lunch time jump was due to a cereal bar I had, it was a different combination (from the same range as previous bars). But I find the evening meal the most interesting as I had a curry and rice which I was expecting to send me over.
 
8.4 at one hour :banghead:

Dunno why (low carb breakfast and a metformin tablet to go with it to make up for yesterday's miss) but my driveway just got a solid workout in the rain for 50 laps so we'll see where we're at in another 25 minutes
 
Down to 7.3 ....once again proving my theory re exercise immediately following a meal, NOT at one hour afterwards
 
Thanks nuthead :) Nice to see the rising level and the 2 hour reading sit inside 1 as well :)

Fasting 7.1 ...back on the carb wagon after a weekend of indulgence. Oddly and thankfully my weight hasn't moved. It didn't help when I ran out of strips on Friday, they say ignorance is bliss :-)
 
Lost a pound but been on pretty much v low carb without trying as fancying big omlettes and soup and cheese and cream and berries. My portion sizes go down a lot and lchf is such a habit now. Hey ho
