Went to work

How long a gap between your fasting reading and your pre-breakfast? That is a big jump. Can you get this gap shorter?

This morning the gap was 1.5hrs between fasting and eating breakfast. Currently I am trying to have breakfast earlier by eating in the car on my way to work. This would be 30mins after my fasting test - its not ideal but the figures are getting better. Unfortunately this morning I got picked up at 6:30am as I'm offsite, so I didn't feel comfortable eating my breaky in someone else's car. So I waited until we arrived. I'll most likely have the same issue tomorrow, as I'm at a breakfast meeting. I've tried having a snack in between but it doesn't make any difference. So I just need to live with it to some extent. My Dr said not to worry about it too much, but it drives me nuts lol
 
5.7 fasting @ 6.15
6.4 pre b/fast @7.40 (bran flakes with hazelnuts sultanas and whole milk)
7.6 @ 1 hr
5.9 @ 2 hrs

Pre lunch 5.1 (bit of an experiment with 1 slice seeded bread, baked beans and full fat Greek yogurt)
8.9 after 1 hour
6.8 after 2 hours
6.0 after 3 hours

Didn't bother with dinner because it's a low carb meal that I've tested before!

Reasonably good day considering the number of carbs I had!!
 
5.2 Fasting Breakfast
6.0 1hr
Missed 2 hrs
Pre Lunch No testing Required
4.9 Pre Dinner
6.7 2hr
Numbers Ok but the testing went to pot today
DESMOND course tomorrow, whether I manage the whole day will have to be seen....:bored:
 
I woke up with running nose, increased temperature, and BG 6.7, after 11 hours of fasting. :(
Breakfast: 150 grams of banana, 1 glass of milk. Two hours (and two aspirins) later, by BG was 5.7

Too stressful day in the office; forgot about my snack again and when I finally managed to find some time for lunch, I was starving (but no signs of hypo) and so impatient I forgot to test. I had spelt pasta with grilled veggies, tofu and arugula. Two hours later - 5.6 Mixed nuts for a snack.

5.0 before dinner - tortilla wrap (38 grams of carbs) filled with grilled chicken, and 350 grams of salad (tomatoes, paprika, letuce). 5.5 two hours later. 70 grams of an apple for a snack.
 
Bit of a weird one. 3.9 before the meal. Forgot to test on 2 hours but did it on 2 hours 25 mins and it was 3.8. Never had it lower after a meal than before. Had 2 pieces of low carb bread, quorn & chicken. After the meal had some cashews and raisins and a 9 bar. I thought that having the cashews, raisins and 9 bar would have sent me into the 5's or 6's.

Did do 5 miles walk/run between 3pm-4pm so that may have contributed to the dinner readings.
