Thanks for this pleinster. Good of you to take the time to provide me with this. It all really helps with my dietary choices after following the NHS recommended "balanced diet" for 4 years, with the DSN & GPs happy with my HbA1c going from 43 to 57 in that time. Even the jump up to 68 this month didn't prompt them to suggest counting my carbs (although they did double my metformin) so I've taken that upon myself

Good stuff, James. The only way to really get in control is to take control, and the best way to do that is to inform ourselves as best we can as to what works for us individually. I have had some excellent doctors over the years but..let's be honest...it's my body and my condition and it is therefore less important to everyone else however well they mean. I listen and I apply my approach and I keep my doctors informed.

7.0! Had Tom Rogic not made my day in injury time, I would be less than amused.

06:15 and a reading of 4.6 for me

Glass of red wine last night may have played a factor.

On holiday and the birds are singing and I am off to the gym

Have a great day everyone
