I had a bad day yesterday, couldn't get out of the 6's from fasting until pre-evening meal. No obvious reasons. So I decided to have a carb free evening meal. Total of 5g carbs approx. (Only 32g all day, normally around 50g at the moment)
Before tea 5.2
2hrs after, 6.0
3hrs after 5.9
Bedtime 5.6 (higher than average)
Fasting 5.6
I was surprised at the 0.8 rise after so few carbs at tea time and surprised it didn't go down further during the evening.
I hope I haven't caught a virtual lurgy from people on here!
I had a look at your old posts, you have only been on insulin for a week or so..early days indeed, but that should make it easier to get better BG levels by working with your nurse and the clever T1's hereOh I must change my signature. ..I'm on Lantus and Novorapid nowx
Steady...wait for it ....Fasting today 5.6 after going to bed on 5.6 too, still batch 44 so I will take that as ok! Never went beyond 6.1 yesterday after dinner which was my wonderful black farmers sausage, mushrooms and full fat coleslaw, also some raspberries and cream after.
Will be ordering new strips later, will add a request not to send me batch 44 I think! Hba1c day tomorrow so wait to see what results say about no meds......I seem ok but will freak if it's up from my 38 in October!!
Just to add my latest.
1hr after FF Greek yogurt and only 35g raspberries with flaxseed (normally a few more berries than that) I was a huge 7.8. I have NEVER had a spike of 2.2 after brekkie (always under 1mmol/l) and yes, I did re-test and got an 8.0. Tried Accu chek and got 7.7. There is something going on.

Control what you can, ignore what you cannot and appreciate the difference.

Apropos my post above, I haven't posted my readings for the past few days as it was too depressing! (I concur with the poster who said now we know why we are discouraged by our DNs from testing).
It's one of my quick, favourite dinners! Only carb content is the coleslaw, about 6gm and I allow a couple grams for the sausages so max 10gm total, around 6gm for raspberries too.Your dinner sounds divine!!!
Good luck with your Hba1c test - you will be fine!!!
Hi BTJust an odd one. Yep, I know by your own admissions your'e "obsessive" with the numbers and the testing but with the restraints you have in place, just ignore it. Relax and let it go. Knowing you and your normal figures (which I know only too well as I try to emulate you to some degree) it'll pass.

OK, that's my quote for the day! No, for the year! What a brilliant sentiment! I wish I'd had that taped to my monitor a couple of years ago - it might have saved me from a breakdown and subsequent departure from my highly stressful job of 13 years!
Bless you Mike, what a lovely thing to postI will keep calm and low carb on!
Sublime to ridiculous - 6.8(and that was the average of 3).
Explanation options:
1) Overdid the kidney beans and portion of the chilli con carne and blueberries at dinner (we have chilli con carne about once a month and it does spike me a bit of course next morning, though not usually that much). Actual dinner was 5.0 > 6.1.
2) Work and tiredness.
3) One of those things.
I will not stress over this

Erm, sorry @Bluetit1802 I tried staying off the www when I had it......
