11.5. Guess that chocolate bar was not a good idea!

Don’t know what sort of chocolate you like best but I’ve ‘trained’ myself to prefer the very dark type - usually fewer carbs so less of an impact on bg.

Aldi do a good 85% cocoa one called Moser Roth. It comes in a pack of 5 small (25g) bars, less than 5g carbs per bar so perfectly portion controlled.
Good luck.

6.5 this morning, got back from Hols in Iceland yesterday so time to take control again!

@Freema I hope your gout is better today, my dad had it and said it was the most painful thing he’d ever experienced so I completely sympathise.

@peony50 well done and continuing good luck to you to improve with diet and exercise.

it is a bit better now with the gout, but it does take away some of my spirit for going out for a walk... but I will anyways tomorrow.. hope for sunshine tomorrow and lots of joy from that..
