Nervous...

I ran out of test strips a while ago and wasn't able to afford to buy any more. I finally had some amazon vouchers last week so I bought some strips. They arrived today and I will restart testing tomorrow. I am quite nervous to be honest. I have eaten reasonably well and mostly things I know don't spike my bs but there has been the odd mince pie and cream and I haven't tested 9 bars yet.

I keep looking at the mince pies in the kitchen. Double cream in the fridge next to the insulin. Haven't cracked yet....however....
Worry about things worth worrying about. You'll be ok.

I never liked mince pies before!

OK my testing started again today...
I didn't do a fasting test as I was up too late and had a mug of tea before I got up.
For breakfast I had 2 fried eggs with 2 slices of ham (proper ham off the bone from the butchers)
Before lunch my bg was 6.0 - I was getting hungry by then so could have been liver dump? lunch was 1/2 avocado, brie, ham, pickled onions and ham with tea to drink. After 2 hours my bg was 5.3
I then decided to test a mince pie so had half with extra thick double cream. After 2 hours bg was 6.5
So nothing disastrous but I think having tested and seen my bg I probably won't eat any more mince pies. And that is why I needed to test...
