6.3 today. I spent yesterday in a zombie state after New Year's Eve and didn't know what my BG would do today.

One more day of ill-discipline then firmly back on the low-carb wagon from tomorrow!

 

[Larissima]

Yesterday was 6.2, this morning 5.9. Lack of sleep or excessive cheese?

6.5 this morning at 8.55am.

Mine was 13.7, which it is most days despite the medication I began to take on December 15th

Give it time @Osterley your levels will come down if you persevere, good luck!

From what I read on an American diabetes website, Metformin reached maximum efficacy within 2 weeks and the gliclazide starts working from the first dose, also reaching maximum efficacy within 10 to 14 days. I'm not optimistic therefore that these medications are going to resolve my levels! Unfortunately, here in Santorini, half the island is still on holiday so other than a locum at the hospital, there's little how for the falling I'll over Christmas. We do have churches in every street corner though, that's a comfort!

6.9 today, it's a bit higher today, trying to think what caused - apart from the Turkish Delight maybe? Left over from Crimbo- not doing that again!!!

@Osterley you may be right about your meds. Although my gp said it takes a whole month for your body to digest any new meds. Also it takes 3 months to get any affect from any oral med out of your system. I know because I stopped metformin due to tummu upset and it took about that to settle down after stopping it.
