Ruby Anniversary...

[Malc.]

Hi,
Yesterday (14th Aug) we celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary, so my usual range of meals available to me were replaced by, shall I say, 'different foods'...
We went out on Saturday evening and each had a 3-course meal + wine...
Then yesterday we had a 'buffet on the go' at home for family/friends and I was 'picking' at that for most of the afternoon, followed by some trifle/ cream X 2 and two pieces of cake,(with icing)...

Right, here are the results...
Late last night I tested my Bg and the result was 9.7 (not too bad, considering)......
My Fasting test this morning was 4.9 ( which, surprisingly, is below my 'average' reading)
Today (Monday), my food intake has also been 'different' (snacks on the go) and I've just tested and it's 10.9

I'm still on 'Diet only' and usually my readings are much lower than the situation explained above...
However, maybe this weekend HAS been a one-off?
I'm expecting to have more 'normal / average' readings later in the week, when my diet returns to 'normal'.

Regards...
Malc.

Hi Malc

Congratulations on your 40th anniversary.

It is likely that your celebration eating was was responsible for the BS readings but It is good that you are looking at the foods you eat. That is part of all of our journeys with diabetes. It is also good to see that your HbA1c is heading in the right direction. I don't know whether you are taking the metformin but it might help you to get down to a better HbA1c reading more quickly, as you continue to find the food consumption that works for you.

Regards

Doug
