Blood glucose was 5.8 last night 2 hours after dinner (2050), then I cheated and had 2 chocolate chip cookies and 1/2 glass of 2% milk at 2230. This morning at 0640 my blood glucose was 6.4, proving that one cannot eat chocolate chip cookies at night and expect decent overnight fasting blood sugars. My overnight fasting should be in the mid 5s or high 4s (personal target) and useless fact #72, still had 3/4 cup of Honey Nut Cheerios with milk for breakfast. Have been largely successful at eliminating most of the bad carbs from my diet, although I did try a half shot of Sambuca on Sunday (yummy but a real no-no), and have been tracking blood sugars and blood pressure in an Excel spreadsheet. I can see my progress since Mar 08 and am very surprised to see overnight fasting blood glucose go from low 10s to 6s, 5s and below (once) in only 1 month. I am not doing the Keto thing but basically low carb with a few instances of falling off the wagon, I'll try harder! Thanks all for being here...

6.3 this morning at 0640hrs......nurses dictate testing times.........Fast continued till 0940hrs when I had a typical hospital breakfast of bran flakes,milk,wandered sprinkles plus 2 Brown bread with butter
Cappuccino plus two flat white coffees before pre lunch reading of 8.1 at 1135hrs
Dropped to 7.7 pre-dinner after a lunch of:
Jerk Chicken
Small cup rice
Mix veg(from frozen)
Broccoli
Ice cream(80g) with chopped hazelnuts(40g)
Kiwi fruit and 2 pieces of sushi roll for snack as well as 2 teas,2coffees and about a litre of water
Dinner was:
Roast Chicken
Steamed cabbage
Sweetcorn
Celeriac mash
80 g Ice cream with 40g chopped hazelnuts
Teas,coffees and sugar free squash turned the rise to a final reading of 7.4
Not looking forward to tomorrow's fasting bg as I decided to celebrate getting out of hospital tomorrow with a pizza and football night.........worth it in my book.......I'll face the music tomorrow now.
