4.9 at this ungodly hour of the day, oh the joys of International road transportation, our vehicles are running 24/7 which means sometimes I have to do the same.

At least it's POETS day, have a good one.

Nothing to report for yesterday or today....my Codefree that was acting very strange even though I tried two new batteries finally died on me Wednesday evening! New one on the way but couldn't have it delivered before Saturday as nobody would be home for the postie! Another day at the office then an actual weekend off:)

4.6 this morning

Interesting test last night, I had risotto for the first time since diagnosis, home made pea and ham with a reasonable portion (77g carbs) then testing pre/1 hr/2 hr/3 hr/4 hr. My (non diabetic) wife also tested after a smaller portion of the same (51 g carbs). My results were 4.3/7.3/3.6/5.1/4.5 and my wife's were 5.3/9.1/7.7/7.3/6.1.
I retested the 3.6 to confirm and it was the same, so a bit of reactive hypoglaecemia there I think

In conclusion I think that I can have this occasionally - but that my wife shouldn't!

Those figures look very good for both of you don't they? Is sub-4 for a non-diabetic a problem?

5.5 this morning - reversing the untoward trend thankfully. Still no breakthrough. Plodding on - Day 15 of my resumed diet (starting my 8th week overall)
