Hi on holidays at the mo nice break at a beach here in Australia..6.4 this morning a bit high but have had quite a lot of pain the past week so put it down to that. Breakfast. Bacon and eggs and mushrooms with half an avocado . Lunch. Homemade bread made with almond flour with butter. Dinner. Homemade quiche no flour with broccoli and cali, tiny bit of pumpkin. Still in my range of 25 carbs or maybe less. Don't want to lose any more weight so trying to increase fats though finding that so hard.
 
My patient 5.5 at 5am. The day before, he took chicken cutlet for lunch after two hours 10.3,, 2.5hours 10.0,, 3hours 9.2'' 3.5hours 7.6. For dinner, he took a safe meal that has been tested to be safe for his bg before, so there is no testing before/after.

7.1 at 6:30 this morning hoped it would be better than that

@Dwaffy i so understand how you feel. I don't know whether it's the right thing to do or not but i have stopped doing the early morning test as if i got a high number it makes the whole day miserable. Also i was starting to get a little obsessive about it maybe that's why some doctors tell type 2 people not to test but rather just rely on 3 months lab results. Still i don't listen to that either but have decided to cut back on the testing. Something to think about.
