FBG - Not Measured
 
11.0 this morning
0730 stuck on a glucose drip until 1045 for a CT scan
1230 quiche and mash potatoes with mixed vegetables and jam sponge cake and custard
1800 minestrone soup and bread and then 2 sausages and mashed potatoes with mixed vegetables
3 slices of toasted brown bread and and all meals with tea with milk and sugar and before anyone says anything about the sugar I get away with the sugar as it doesn't make my BM'S go high or too low and I have used sugar in tea for a while as can't use sweeteners or the artificial stuff you get
 
Yesterday (6/30.
0720: Coffee with double cream & sweetener.
1100: Hot chocolate (5g carbs).
1600: Hot chocolate (5g carbs).
1930: Egg white (cheese, onion, chilli & tomato) omelette, egg white mug bread. Home made pistachio ice cream.

Despite probably less than 20g carbs, my fbg today was 6.5. I can only guess it's due to DP.
