Yep, am totally thrilled to bits. It has been a complete shift and an eye opener, re thinking the way I look at food. I am so glad it was picked up ( in a routine eye exam) even though I did probably waste £300 on fancy varifocals and Jackie O prescription sunnies lol.
Yep I am a total nerd for notebooks so have be writing everything down, gives me an excuse to use a fancy fountain pen too. MMMMMMM sexy stationery.@LittleG - 7.2 is within range. Hope you made a note of what it was you ate? It helps if you keep a food diary: list the foods for that meal and your blood sugar result before and 2 hours after.
Well done LittleG
Good evening, my friend. Yes, I have been maintaining a much more efficient and adequate control of my diabetes. I did, however, consume a lamb doner kebab with minced lamb and its accompanying condiments and salad and there was a large pocket of pitta bread in there and that really contravenes the advice of one of the good, insightful, loving friends on www.diabetes.co.uk not to mention the Low Carb Programme, for which I feel certainly remorseful and a bit negligent. Tonight, however, I had a blood glucose reading, at ten minutes past midnight on Thursday 2nd June, 2016, was 6.8 mmol. I feel ultimately happy, satisfied and contented with this reading. I do make mistakes occasionally, the things I eat per se, and do get concerning blood sugar readings, but thanks to this forum I'm beginning to step out and recognise what's good to eat and what's bad to eat. I still need to work on eradicating Coffeemate from my hot beverages because a mutual friend on this forum very kindly and humbly advised me it contains glucose syrup. I will try to persevere in the fight against this awful disease which I haven't always had but the guidance my elderly Dad - also diabetic - has given me and still gives me as well as sufferers of diabetes in my life has proved valuable and much revered. God bless you, my friend x X x.
Yes,,cream (double or single) has been a real game changer for me in coffee first thing. Has totally stopped me spiking when I wake. Lots of fat, very little sugar. I got the advice,,from a community member, ....maybe [email protected]'t quite remember, anyway....that's my coffee and cream calling. Have a great day

) am getting better at reading French labels too!Do you have a pilot's licence Penfold? It sounds so cool to be able to say 'our plane' (which I'm guessing is the one you're leaning so nonchalantly against in your avatar)... Lush!Pleased to be back home now, shocking weather in Luton last night - 200 ft cloud base so glad we left our plane down in France. Luton airport shocking - they are 'transforming' it
FBG 6.5 which isn't too bad after a little blip yesterday. Learning more every time we travel. Have arranged to hire a fridge/freezer on our campsite for 3 weeks in August so will take a few loaves of LivLife bread - will help me resist the lovely baguettes in the campsite cafe. Organisation is the key - and the occasional treat
Have a good day friends
I often do almond milk (minimal carbs) and a dash of cream in my nespresso milk whizzer. I like a frothy coffee - this does the trick without using too many carbs, and improves the taste of almond milk. @bulkbiker put me onto this
Have a good one everyone

. Mine was utter 'pants' this morning at 12.4 =
. I forgot to take my evening Insulin and I forgot to test before bed - what a state to be in!!That's fab! What a great way to be able to spend your time together.
Alpro do a coconut and almond low carb milk which makes your coffee sweeter.
Now that's impressive. France must be beautiful on a low fly. I was due to have lessons at shoreham but money went skew wiff.
