Got the tradies (electrician and painters) coming in today to finish the shower and toilet after a major refit. Yayyyyyy!

Does that mean you can clean up your act Don? Soz, off topic

An outrageous (for me anyway!) 6.6 this morning - unfortunately I had the munchies yesterday and peanuts were my vice! (Note to self - don't buy any more!). About 4½ hours sleep probably didn't help either.

 

[callyandy]

my fasting reading this morning was 6.3 is this ok or is it to high

A good solid number, welcome. Have a look in the Newbie thread. Loads of good reading.

Hi @Providence 62, you could try making the mashed potatoes the day before and putting in fridge overnight. This, and re-heating should result in some of the carbs turning into retrograde or resistant starch, so called because it resists digestion and less likely to spike blood glucose.
