4.9 :-)

Coffee with double cream for breaky.

Lunch was a can of Sainsbury's carrot and coriander soup (well about 2 thirds of a can) and i tested after 1 hour (5.4) and 2 hours (5.3) so that's something else I'm going to start adding to my good food list. Tinned soup -) this one was 9 carbs per half can.

Dinner was a chicken salad with mayo. Boring but I'm focused on my looming hba1c test and showing my DN how diabetes CAN be put well and truly into remission.

FBG ‘@ 05:09 6.4
Can’t seem to get FBG down unless have a glass of wine ,,, Any suggestions
 
Highest FBG reading to date (i think). 6.7. Normally 4s or 5s. But there is a reason. Yesterday I reached a weight loss milestone. 40lbs. My final weight loss goal actually so i was very giddy. I always have a small treat when I reach a milestone. But I had a big one yesterday as it coincided with my hba1c etc blood test at the drs. Not got next one for 6 months. So my treat was a piece of (JAWS music would be very apt here!!!) CHOCOLATE FUDGE CAKE WITH CREAM AND A DOLLOP OF (MUSIC GETS LOUDER!!!) SALTED CARAMEL ICE CREAM. Naughty....but VERY nice. Last night after 2 hours 7.6. And this morning 6.7 which in the bigger scheme of things I think isn't too bad. I expected it to be much worse. Happy Friday folks.

2 slices bacon 2 fried eggs for breakfast and a chicken kebab (no pitta bread) for dinner. Always buy one as a Saturday night treat. Still hungry so I had 2 crackers with cheese and some salted peanuts. All washed down with 2 glasses of merlot. I love Saturday nights.

5.2 today (5.7 at 3am) so I'm happy with that. It would have been lower had I not had a slice of seeded toast with my eggs and bacon and half a cream eclair at my friends when I called to see her. But I'm very happy that it didn't rock my boat too much.

For dinner it was a chicken salad with olives and large pickles plus mayo. 1 cream cracker with cheese after and a few salted peanuts with a glass if merlot.

Just a quick question. If you didn't exercise how much higher do you anticipate your BS would be? You have a great diet and moderate amount of carbs. Thanks.
 
4.8 on waking.

Only had 1 meal yesterday. Lunch out with my dear old friend about 1.30. Hadn't eaten since previous evening so quite a good fast there. I had an amazing chicken chorizo and feta salad. It was large. I managed it all (even had 2 large chips) but didn't feel hungry then til almost bedtime but didn't want to eat so late in case it effected my BS. Looks like I made the right decision. Drinks wise mainly iced water. Cup of tea and a coffee with double cream.
