6.1 this morning. Lack of walking or excess of chocolate a couple of days ago seem to have pushed me out of the 5s. One can never take one’s eye off the ball for a second it seems.
I’m driving to Plymouth with middle daughter today - she is transferring her mental health nursing degree there so she can live with us in Cornwall. She’s meeting her tutor and wants to check out travelling times, parking etc. It’ll be a trip down memory lane for me as Mr C and I both studied at Plymouth (Poly as it was then, before it got an inflated sense of importance and became a university) 40yrs ago. I’m looking forward to seeing it again.
@Shas3 I also find that lag effect after eating and before I feel full. If I’m not careful I’ll just have ‘a bit more’ and carry on until I realise I’ve had way too much and am now uncomfortable full. I have to tell myself before a meal that this before me is a portion. Wait 1/2 hr - 1hr or so and then, as you said I feel fine.
Re wine I find a glass or 2 of red or a g&t will often give lower fbg but white wine, even dry white is naturally a bit sweeter and doesn’t always have this effect.
