me too if I thought I had. Eating less meat these days anyhow. Rarely buy it but still have it if someone had cooked for me.

I eat meat every day now... I try to limit cheese, but what protein can you eat? Quorn is brilliant but here in the Middle East it's difficult... before I started the low-carbing I hardly ever ate meat... Porridge for breakfast and then it was all pulses and legumes really... hommus being a favourite every day - on 'healthy', home-made rye and spelt bread.... can you imagine how it was putting up my numbers? I get quite weak when I think about it! I thought I was doing myself good... But not...
 

Thanks Susi, I mostly work from home so I've just had a good fry-up!
 
4.6 this morning with my trusted diet of fish, veg and nuts keeping my blood sugar readings at bay have a good day everyone!
 
5.1 this morning rushed out to work at 6.30am forgot my insulin !!! I had a boiled egg sandwich on brown bread now reading a whopping 11.4 and I won't be home till 5 pm
 
Oh,sorry to hear this , loraine deer, just a thought could you have spare meds at work just in case ? Hope your ok :)

No more carbs for you today then! My gut feel about that might have been to eat the filling and leave the bread, to give your body a chance to sort of cope.
 
That's the sort of "healthy" I went for in the past too..... Lots of homemade wholemeal seeded breads
 
Of course it was your morning reading - always morning somewhere in the world . Just tested post lunch (having had fish finger butties) 7.3 mmnn, pretty much as expected) decided to retest (want sugarfree choc snack) 6.7 - left hand. Best of 3 - 7.3 on right hand again. Put choc away again.....
 
 

@favill Morning readings are usually the last to come down because they are influenced by factors outside our control. Liver dumps (Dawn Phenomenon) is very common, restless nights, stress, timing of the test all come in to play. Do you test before bed? If not, try it and compare it with the fasting reading. This may give you some clues. Welcome to the forum by the way.

Edit - make sure you test as soon as you get up. No pottering about first.
