So after the last few nights of being stable but around the 9 mark last night I went to bed on a 5.1, and as you've already probably guessed this morning I wasn't anywhere near the bed time score, just a little 11.2. hey ho!

Hope you all have a good day!
 
Good luck at the dentist. My 2 most hated people in the world.....dentist and vampires (phlebotomists!) at the hospital. They both make me shudder lol

I’m having 2 teeth out yikes yikes
(1 yike for each tooth lol)
 

Thank you the plan is to extract 2 teeth omg
 
Morning

A question does chick peas and lentils have a carb value?

Just don't seem to be able to find out.

Yes. Lentils 20 carbs per 35g dried weight. Chickpeas 17 carbs per 35g dried weight. Chick peas tinned 6 carbs per 40g. They are notoriously slow at raising sugar levels. If I’m not eating many I personally don’t bother injecting for them.
 
Hi all,

Back from a weekend away in Bridport and a magnificent day in the garden yesterday.

Holiday was tough on the BG, managed a magnificent overnight 23.4 (too much booze, curry and salted caramel tart) and also a less magnificent 17ish spike the day before, but wrestled it back into shape and now running in range now i am back on my normal routine.
 


Now this is why i get annoyed with my diabetes and i am sure you guys have the same experiences

Woke this morning to 6.4 after a flat night, had the same breakfast at the same time, injected the same amount of insulin in approx same area. I have done the same thing at work, sit on my ar5e and worked on emails and spreadsheets. tested a few times all morning and my BG was fairly steady climbing to 8.6, which i can live with, a rise of 2.2 from my waking BG

And yet yesterday it went from 5.6 to 12.3 a rise of almost 7 from my waking BG.

WHY WHY WHY
 
Yes. Lentils 20 carbs per 35g dried weight. Chickpeas 17 carbs per 35g dried weight. Chick peas tinned 6 carbs per 40g. They are notoriously slow at raising sugar levels. If I’m not eating many I personally don’t bother injecting for them.

Thanks which now explains the stupid high this morning.
 
I've never managed a single holiday where my BGs have been stable. For some reason, the first few days of a holiday are filled with hypos and the last few days filled with highs. Could do without the stress of dodgy BGs on holiday!
