I'd be interested in trying that dietToo busy and travelling to get on yesterday, so six pages later ...
Thursday night was an odd one, I was meeting some friends at a pub, one of the occasions where I will have a pint of bitter. I didn't leave the office early enough to eat, so I thought I'd just get some food at the pub but it was quiz night and by the time I got there they'd run out. So dinner consisted of a pint of Harvey's best and a bowl of salted peanuts. 6.2 at bedtime but yesterday morning was 5.6.
Salmon and red wine last night after driving home, 5.1 this morning
Snow was forecast for Preston today but not seen any yetYou should be used to snow showers, not like us that live nearer the Equator in Lancashire. Just get out there and enjoy it.View attachment 10633
5.7, up to 7.2 1.5 hr after smoothie.
I was going to ask the same thing but you beat meWhat was in your smoothie?
I test before bedtime and they vary quite a bit but average around 9.6. Increasing my morning Insulin doesn't seem to make any difference. I am still trying to find best time to test.Does anyone else take Insulin twice a day, if so when do you do tests?Hi, welcome to the thread. Sounds a pretty good fasting average. Do you test pre and post meals too so you know the effect your food is having on your bs?
2hr test will be the clincher...will it be up or down5.7, up to 7.2 1.5 hr after smoothie.
I think most of us, whether on meds or not, test immediately before eating and 2 hours after. That way you can see the impact of your food on blood sugar levels so you can tell if that food gives you a greater spike than 2 eg 5.4 to 7.4 for example. I think even when on insulin you need to watch your diet too (possibly MORE important using it) @eddie1968 maybe best to advise on thisI test before bedtime and they vary quite a bit but average around 9.6. Increasing my morning Insulin doesn't seem to make any difference. I am still trying to find best time to test.Does anyone else take Insulin twice a day, if so when do you do tests?
