Ok, I'm not going to do this every day as I don't want to clog up everyone's inbox (unless I'm asked to). But. Yesterday's (Tuesday's) results are -
I'm still recovering from knee surgery so I'm not doing much but....
Woke up at around 8:15, put the telly on and watched it for a bit, got up at around 10:15, did my ablutions then went downstairs , made a coffee (black) and tested my blood - 6.2mmol/L
Had 2 slices of white toast with clover (no butter in the house), tested 2 hours later and was 7.8
I skipped lunch
Was going to the first darts match of the new season and thought I might have a couple of beers, so for tea I had (and I'm not joking) -
5 bacon
3 Lorne sausage
3 Black Pudding
(all grilled)
4 Hash Browns (cooked in the oven)
3 desert spoons of baked beans
And 2 slices of toast (Hovis Best of Both)
My BG was 6.1 pre prandial
Tested again about 1.5 hours after, and I was at 7.2
I hobbled (on my crutches) to where we were playing (about a mile away), and tested when I got there which was exactly 2 hours later, and I was at 7.8
I didn't have a couple of beers, I just drank diet coke.
I then got lower until I checked just before bed and I was at 5.1
Today I woke up, had a coffee (black) and got going, I tested and was 5.5 mmol/L
For breakfast I had 5 bacon (grilled) with 2 slices of toast (Hovis, soft white) and tested EXACTLY 2 hours later and I was at 5 mmol/L
I haven't eaten since breakfast today, I'm going to check my BG now - it's 5.8mmol/L
