I was 113/6.3 this morning... still high... still got infected sinuses and it's driving me nuts... so painful and never seems to get better... No dairy today - that can create too much mucus I have been reading... no cream then... :( Not often this low, sorry for whingeing.... ;)

Have you tried soya milk, vitalite is dairy free. Get the unsweetened milk, its the only milk i can have and it does help mucous. Hope the sinuous clears soon.:-)
 
8.3 this am ....had some pikelets for supper, not had them in a long time with Lurpak butter on them as I have seen no carbs in Lurpack and not many in pikelets...

Thank you, but I cannot take soya - it upsets my bowel... I am trying almond milk, have you used that before? It is natural and unsweetened... it cannot harm, can it? How are you feeling today? No more attacks I hope... You must be so bored and fed-up...

can't use any form of nuts cause am allergic to them. Had a few small one but nothing too major. Still very whezzy and board. Got some visitors coming today. Take care
 
6.6 before bed
6.3 for me this morning :)
decided to try and cheat the liver dump so I had a 9 bar for my breakfast and ate it on the way to work... tested at an 1.5 hrs and I am 10.8:( will test again at 2 hours and see...usually I get hardly any rise at all with the flavour of 9 bar I ate.

I might just have to accept that my liver dumps are here to stay...and take it up with the doctor to see if in the overall scheme of things, it will affect my numbers etc.

Oh Lorraine, I am so sorry to hear he has taken a turn for the worst, I'll keep you both in my thoughts. Your right, there is nothing worse that watching and waiting without being able to help. Make sure you don't forget to take care of yourself as well as your family at this difficult time.
 
Today I was 5.8, still recovering from overindulgence at christmas, when I had a few 6.5's. On mentioning this to my doctor while there about something else (because she asked how my levels were), she replied it was because I have diabetes and nothing to do with what I'd eaten or drank! I just smiled and nodded.......this has got to be the best response yet!

sometimes ignorance is NOT bliss TP :)
 
Another higher than normal reading of 7.9 this morning on my new monitor but better than the 8.8 this time yesterday. I think the reason for the high this morning is that I snacked on something I really know I shouldn't have late last night, only because I felt really hungry. I've found just recently that I'm staying up a lot longer than I used to and starting to get those hunger pangs. Having said that, they are about 6 hours after my tea. So today I'm trying an experiment. Normal breakfast time, leave dinner until around 2pm instead of 12pm and then have my tea at around 8pm instead of 6pm. Test again tomorrow and post results.
