Conversely, the food police.

BG 4.7 mmol yesterday.
BG 8.5 mmol today.
Only real difference that's affected the numbers is medication.
I'm using Clotrimazole for a fungal infection.
Google says.......
Clotrimazole
Topical corticosteroids (applies to betamethasone/clotrimazole topical) diabetes. Corticosteroids can raise blood glucose level by antagonizing the action and suppressing the secretion of insulin, which results in inhibition of peripheral glucose uptake and increased gluconeogenesis

Woke up to a BG of 5.9 mmol/L this a.m. Had a few jujubes late last night.
3 hard boiled eggs for breakfast this a.m. after a 2km run. No toast.
New blood work due. Only asking for HbA1C not BG. amongst the usual. Apparently I don't have to fast the night before test.

BG 10.6mmol. Medication affected result.
I'll be sure to be in the 4s or 5s, next week after medication ceases.

Hi all, not posted or tested for ages, but after latest blood results showed my hba1c back up to 70, decided to pull my finger out and get back in control, so 11 for me this morning.
