Loving my exercise bike John! I aim for a good half hour session, usually afternoon at the moment then often a 15 min post dinner session- i blast my music out and off I go!!6.9 don't know where that cam from apart from super meal out last night and possibly just possibly I had some chips , oops,
With my main course and also some ice cream for desert.
Knew it would not be a good reading for me this morning, but sometimes it just has to be done.
Off to my bike for some early exercise to get my readings back in the curve that I like.
Have a wonderful day everyone.
going great without the meds @kimbo19625.7 this morning - after a very unusual 6 pre-handwash!! I should have resisted wasting a strip before washing my hands I know! 5.7 ok though, I had 2 Squares of 70% at bedtime instead of 1 by way of a treat!! Bed time was 5.7 too so not too shabby in all I guess!
Oh, and 2 hrs after breakfast I'm 5.9 so all in range for me!
I vaguely recall seeing Margaret Thatcher doing some cookery on tv and making French Bread - she "washed the dough" to release all the starches which was what gave it it's texture. Will check my GI/GL counter later and see if its ok for youQuick report from Cote d'Ivoire - erratic meals over the last two days, Air France only had one meal option on the plane (pasta - on an A380 only about 20% full!) which I didn't eat, by the time I got to the hotel I was starving and had some french bread and lashings of butter while waiting for my (very nice) salad and fillet of sole stuffed with veg. I don't know what my preprandial was but my +2 was 5.5 so the bread can't have been that bad. Next morning (yesterday) at 5:30 am prior to travelling up country I was 5.0, a joint record low.
Camp food is a bit lacking in veg at the moment. Lunch yesterday was a baguette with tuna and tomato, I just had the filling and a mouthful of baguette, dinner was either chicken or pork with either chips or rice. I had the chicken and some chips as the least bad option, just had a few of them, but spiked from 5.1 to 7.2 as a result.
But this morning at 6:30 I was back to 5.1.
Fortunately I have my emergency supply of brazil nuts and there are lots of peanuts available here so I'm not going to starve! Nice tomato and onion omelette for breakfast though.
These early morning fastings make me think I'm typically going quite low overnight but with a slight LD before testing at my usual more civilised hour, though still recording slightly below the previous night's +2 ...

Wow surreal! Sure it wasn't ***** Cradock?I vaguely recall seeing Margaret Thatcher doing some cookery on tv and making French Bread - she "washed the dough" to release all the starches which was what gave it it's texture. Will check my GI/GL counter later and see if its ok for you
REALLY.... did a quick Google but not brought anything up in the first 50 results .... I think she did it for a children's science programReally?

That's a fantastic fasting, don't be so hard on yourself.......
Margaret Thatcher as research scientist. A publicity photograph taken for the 1951 election campaign.
Still not found what I was looking for but it was defo on a kids science program - and I've sorta confirmed it to myself about the science bit.....
Never a fan of the Iron Lady in politics but it was interesting to see her applying science to the bread making.....

My goodness... you're more of a ferret than I am, I reckon...REALLY.... did a quick Google but not brought anything up in the first 50 results .... I think she did it for a children's science program
I've checked and the french bread is either High GI and M GL or M for both - M being medium of course. What surprises me Granary is supposed to be Low - I'm sure its got to be a typo - but it says it for all 3 ie bread/rolls/baps
Absolutely...Exercise a great and powerful tool in this fight against elevated Blood Sugar levels.
My two best friend in this war, Accu-Chek Aviva and the ability to still do a wide range of exercises.
Well done you...4.7 today which perfectly matched with my serum fasting levels (I took them at the same time). Pretty good job freestyle freedom lite! Spot on! Hba1c at 34yay x
Have a good day!
