Nah, I'm not on insulin. It's annoying because I went to a lot of trouble to get extra strips. Even worse there was no chance of turning around to get the meter. It was hiding in its little black case, in disguise on my desk.
Hi moniker,your bs readings are pretty good,so no worries there !5.0 at bedtime. 5.7 this morning.
I wish I could discern some pattern. Sometimes my morning level rises, sometimes it is the same, sometimes it falls. Having or not having a suitable bedtime snack does not seem to change the random variability.
And now I had a call from the doctor's office. I need to go in to discuss my cholesterol so it is obviously raised since last time. I am just feeling so down. I am tired to death of never spontaneously grabbing something to eat and now it's going to get worse. I am already on medication.
Please excuse the whine. I don't talk about this to anyone in real life so it's lonely and scary.
Work in progress?5.30am 9.1

It does get really hard at times. When you've tested out your meals a few times and found what is ok for you do you write them down? That way you'll always have a record of what you can eat without thinking too much about it. If you can keep a store cupboard of ingredients that will make some of these foods quickly that can help too. If you like frittata they are quick and easy to make .... most of the ingredients I use are in the freezer (frozen veggies) eggs and cheese always in the fridge..... omelettes are quick and easy to make too - cheese and mushroom for example... If you bake try some of the low carb recipes out @Brunneria posted a lovely cake recipe and a VERY quick chia seed chocolate pudding...5.0 at bedtime. 5.7 this morning.
