Snap and @Angelofthemarches . very happy with that, 45 grms carbs yesterday, and home again after visiting mother in law in hospital down south.

I was a bad person last night and had q tiny portion of Chinese chicken, of course it turned out to be loaded with sugar so sent my BG way out of target for 2 - 3 hours... But it came down (not too far) and stayed down. Annoyed with self that I didn't prepare home cooked meal!

6.2 today
(5.0 when I went to bed)

Still OK, though! Hope today goes well

Wow that's great

Yesterday morning 8.1 ate lowish carb all day and I saw a very surprising 7.9 on the meter before bed. That's a massive difference from what my readings have been in the last few years ... and that's just on day 1 ... really pleased

8.0 this morning

Wow that's great

Thanks, I find when I do weights it drops my mmol by between 0.5 and 0.7.

5.8 for me

Still a good number keep going, you are doing great!

Didn't mean to rate this as 'funny', it's the fat finger small phone syndrome

I know its a nightmare especially even after proof reading when its posted afterwards looks like you have written it after 6 g&t's.

How accurate are these machines
I went to bed after a day of 60carbs got up this morning g/l 7.6 couldnt believe it so redone it within 10 seconds and now reads as 6.5 this is either a miracle or cannot trust this machine.

All these machines have a margin of error - how big depends on the machine & the specific strip. I try to look at the trend over time. If my fasting readings were say, 5.4, 5.1, 4.3, 5.3, 6.2, 5.0 then that would average at 5.2. Unless I know something specific I would disregard the 6.2 and 4.3 readings.
