This is not an easy thing for me to admit/confess/share but my blood readings this morning are the highest I've seen for a year / since I was aware that I am carbohydrate intolerant / diabetic. I did have a very long drive yesterday ( left at 4;30 AM , returned at 6pm having clocked up 500 miles +), however my sugars have been creeping up over the last week. This morning they are 6.9. My plan is to try to take it a bit easier over the next few days, do a bit of calorie restriction, swop from the morning cycle ride to walking and hope for the best while keeping my fingers crossed and eyes open.....Have a great day if you can....

I'll pm you if possible. Sounds like liver dumping from exercise causing higher bgs. Cycling too stressful, maybe walking will be more relaxing but a positive reduction of average bgs?

Morning All

Mines fallen to 8.2 today, and my 16 day average of all results has hit 6.85, which is the highest its been for over 2 years.

I'm blaming the lack of exercise and the painkillers I'm taking to try and deal with a couple of other problems, but off to the Docs tomorrow to see if I need to make any changes.

2 weeks after returning from France .... drum roll please, 5.8

Worth been a naught boy as it didn't take long to recover.

And thanks @ickihun for prompting me to post again - felt a bit bad as I was a little high, now realise I can't be a poster boy diabetic all the time
