Fellow T2s, there's clearly a link between what we put in our mouth on one day and what our numbers are the following morning and I, for one would be really interested to see the connection between the 2. There are currently 2 different threads for this information but no connection. Shall we join them up?
For example, my bloods were 6.9 this morning and I am working hard to reduce them with a LCHF diet.
Yesterday for breakfast I had coffee with cream, lunch was some pate and celery and a spoon of peanut butter and dinner was stewed green beans, cauliflower, tomatoes and garlic with some grated cheese and 2 fried eggs. I was hungry at bedtime so had some cheese.

12 miles is a rarity, but it was a lovely day and I didn't want to be inside.Amazing, walking 12 miles a day, well done. would love the turkey meat balls ragu recipe.
High 6 is no problem at all fot a 'bad' day, many would be happy with that on a good day. Give it a bit of time and keep up the walks and it could be even better.I'm on holiday since Wednesday and have decided I'm going to be a little naughty here and there! Yesterday was the first here (it didn't take me long!). Started off quite well with a continental breakfast. Pot of tea. Cheese ham prosciutto and a slice of brown toast with butter. Now normally this would put me up to the early 7s after 2 hours and take bloods out of the 4s and even 5s the following morning but I kept testing every hour whilst on a mamoth walk around marbella and it kept going down and settled in the 3s! I couldn't believe it so tested twice. It was right. So I took the opportunity of it being so low to have my second naughty in the afternoon. A chicken mushroom and creamy pasta dish! It was amazing and i lapped it up (I did leave some pasta not wanting to push my luck) but my bloods went into the mid to high 6s on every test after and remain at 6.0 this morning. No cheats today just tapas for me. And perhaps red wine to keep cool!!! Just getting ready to go for my pre ordered scrambled eggs and bacon.
I'm getting my head around it now. All goodHigh 6 is no problem at all fot a 'bad' day, many would be happy with that on a good day. Give it a bit of time and keep up the walks and it could be even better.
Enjoy your holiday.
