This morning 5.1
Very surprised as late last night realised after a busy day I hadn't taken my normal morning dose of forxiga, first time ever ! Now making me wonder about what gp said last week about stopping my forxiga in January.......
9.1 this morning, *sigh*. Don't know what is going on!
Glad you're starting to feel better - especially with Christmas coming upWell done Jan. I am starting to feel a bit better i think the antibiotics are starting to work. See what chest clinic say tomorrow. Thanks for all your good wishes.

@AndBreathe how did the "cooking" go? After all talk of lasagne I HAD to make one....only got 5 sheets in which was 100g Sgt so only 70ish carbs shared by 4 portions. Cheese sauce made wth soya milk. Cornflour is 90gs carb/ 100.... So brainwave said make the cheese sauce runny instead of the meat sauce (always need to water it down) so only one rounded desertspooonful instead of 2 heaped....now why didn't I think of that b4....
ThanksSpecially made...... shows how a bit of thought can make stuff healthier though. Feels so sorry for folks who can't cook
Thanks everyone for your kind words on Sunday. I didn't actually feel too good with such low bs (4.8/5.3) so cancelled my PT session as I had no energy and went back to bed.
My daughter and granddaughter arrived in the evening by which time I'd rallied enough to prepare the fatted calf....Its been chaotic since they arrived and I feel as if I'm the one with a new baby as I'm getting disturbed nights, and helping with the night feeds! It was 3pm one day before I managed to put some make-up on! Pluses are lots of daytime cuddles, winding sessions and walks in the shiny new pink stroller I bought to keep at home for them
After Sunday's blip, I'm keeping steady 6's and mostly 5's in the daytime. Yesterday we had a big road trip to Essex to meet 17 relatives for a pre Christmas restaurant lunch. We arrived a tad late due to traffic delays so missed the starters. I chose pork medallians in a dijon mustard sauce as my main, skipped the potatoes had the carrots and roasted parsnips as they were the only veg, apart from red cabbage. I managed to decline the sticky toffee pudding, Christmas pud and all the other carb laden sweets and asked for a plate of cheese. I lusted after the turkey roast most of the others had until I saw it was swimming in very thick gravy.
Checked my bs before getting behind the wheel for the 4 hour drive home and I was 7.3.
Fasting bs this week have been
Mon - 6.3
Tues - 6.8
Weds - 6.2
Thurs - 6.5
which I'm pleasantly surprised at given the disturbed nights. massive disruption to routine and a fridge stocked with Christmas food which I'm managing to avoid, but for a couple of mini mince pies which caused a small, temporary spike of 7.3
I've missed you all here but will have to wait until next week to catch up on all the posts.
Hope everyone is still doing well and enjoying the Christmas preps
What bird is that in your avatar Rose? I was thinking crossbill or waxwing but it seems too brightly coloured.
You are looking so GOOD @Bluetit1802 I'm coming after you with my reducing numbers. WELL DONE!After very pleasing readings following my weekly meat and potato pie last night (8.0 at 1hr, 6.2 at 2hrs, 5.2 at 2.5hrs and 4.9 at 3hrs), things continued well.
5.1 at bedtime
5.3 this morning

Well the only thing that I have done differently this week consistently is have that half glass of juiced BITTER GOURD. My number after my walk this morning is 4.6.
Yesterday had to get a sandwich from Greggs before business meeting. TUNA CRUNCH brown bread I was only 6.2 after two hours.
Maybe it is a combination of everything, exercise, diet. accumulative sustained focus. I am NOT working out in a gym though. All I do is my two mile walk which has got brisker everyday as I have got fitter and stronger.
Thanks for all your support and guidance, legends members and management team. HURRAH!!
And therein lies the secret. MESSED ABOUT GENERALLY story of my life. Not too much rocket science, just do the best making small adjustments here and there. Can be hugely effective. Good on your hubby too and well done you.Thank you Beatdise. My husband is the chef in our house, and his meat and potato pies are just delicious. As he refused to stop making them when I started low carb I carried on having them. I used my meter to arrive at a sensible portion, left all the pastry, added some cheese, ate a bit of pastry, did without the cheese, messed about generally, but it seems to have paid off. I am happy with last night's results.
Yes but when I started testing my BS no way could I manage the bread I was getting 10's and 12's. I still don't intend to make a habit of it. It was just that at my lunch time business meeting they hadn't organised lunch just cakes and mince pies???!!! You are right though we can only ever talk about how things work for us.Well done you! I may be able to manage the meat and spud pie, but I can't manage 2 slices of any sort of bread, whatever the sandwich filling. Strange how we are all different.
Hope you throw off the infection soon4.7 this morning. Still batteling with this UTI infection and NHS in general. ....
