T2s: What was your fasting BG this morning, and what did you eat yesterday?

Mix with a little cream maybe, smooth out any spike.

Thanks for the suggestion, going out shopping for pork ribs, will pick up some cream for testing...

Gosh,thats unusually elevated for you.

With One meal a day my blood sugars are coming around 6. Probably I am taking more protein from nuts and eggs causing elevated sugars. Also when I just check after cycling they are around 7 or 8. If I cycled every week days again they are going upwards. If I cycling alternate days 3 week days then blood sugars are staying good.

Saturday May 04

At 0920 this morning FBG was 4.8 after fasting for 14.5 hours, food yesterday was;

Breakfast: 3/4 cup honey nut cheerios w/2% milk, 4 dried apricots, black tea, 500 mg metformin
Lunch: 1/4 cup blueberries, black coffee w/milk and splenda
Dinner: scrambled eggs and 2 slices fried ham, 1/4 cup blueberries, 2 glasses red wine, forgot to take 500 mg metformin
Snack: 4 hefty glasses of spiced rum and diet Pepsi

Stopped eating at 1850, fasted (except for rum) until 0920 today and FBG 4.8 so am definitely improving, even though I forgot to take my metformin (could'a been the rum?). Temp here now is about -3C ((-3 x 9/5)+32)= 26.6F, and we got about 6 cm of snow since last night, when is Spring coming? Installing LED ceiling pot lights at daughter #2's today, then broiling pork ribs for son-in-law's birthday bash tomorrow...

This morning my fasting glucose reading was 7.4 mmol/L

My meals yesterday:

* lunch 3 white rolls with scotisch smoked salmon and butter. 150g fish total. 400g Heinz Pea & Ham soup and 1 medium orange and 1 chunky kitt katt

* dinner 250g pillau rice with tesco take out red Thai curry and 30g poppadoms and 2 medium oranges

I know that's probably 5000Kcal, which is probably why my readings were higher yesterday than the day before that :
