No. Do you know I just didn't fancy them. After all these years. My tastes have changed. I decided I had so many vegetables in fridge so I made another Xmas dinner and used my carbs up on a mountain of sausagemeat and pigs in blankets with some gravy. Also I decided that my Hba1c is due in about 3weeks so I want to try and keep numbers down for that then I can have a sensible talk about reducing the Metformin.
 
7.2 this morning only done fasting levels from Christmas eve but back to normal today. So will be doing fasting levels and 2 random tests. I seem to be between 6 - 8 at the moment on no diabetes meds and steroids are down to 15mg form today.

Temptations temptations ....

6.6 for me but that was an hour after waking and B4 breakfast I never test on waking so I have to wonder if i should to see if the numbers would be lower. I get the feeling they would be.
 
Hi Ally,
Well done!
I think we seem to have a couple of things in common .... the need to watch our portion size ... and the size of our clothes!
Hope you keep on seeing success and feeling better.
You've certianly done well so far.
Take care,
Bee Gee
