9.3 before breakfast

Last night 2 hrs after tea 6.6
Slimming World bacon, courgette and veg quiche, spinach and salad with teaspoon of houmous. That's an excellent reading for me, the lowest since testing.

6.8 today ... and 8.1 post swim. Good to return to the 30 minute swim even if BG went up - I know things will calm down soon (well I am hoping they do!)

Don't be too hard on yourself if it was a celebration - I'm sure you will be back on track again soon - and Happy Birthday!

5.8 this morning after a few chocolate dipped strawberries at dinner time. This now confirms that it is the chocolate that cause the increase in fbs. Will try my very best to stay away from even a small amount of chocolate.
Or change it! There is a 90% chocolate out there that may be better...
