Fbg at 4:30 am is 6.3
At 1 am when I visited the bathroom I was 5.4 in the night.
It dipped yesterday a tiny bit in the night in the early hours.
This app One Drop, predicting my possible future few hours at any point of time has been accurate or .5 over in the day, or in the early hours at 1 am this morning it was .6 under what I actually was. Otherwise it has been pretty bang on accurate for me. It does say its prediction is an average of what I might be. It gives me future predictions up to 8 hours ahead, so far
So all my readings over a 24 hour period (pre meal, 2 hours post meal, fasting, or others between post meal and the next meal, or between post meal and morning fbg) have all been from 5.4 (in the night) to 6.7 which was a post meal one).
I have never been on this even a keel before with my blood sugars. I am still taking my Metformin, 2 in a morning and one at night.
These results are not achievable unless I take regular vampire pricks on my fingers and check my sugars. And the One Drop app is helping me enormously.
I know I am still in the honeymoon stage with this One Drop app.
Yesterday, I found myself eating to my blood sugars, so if I eat such and such I might bring it down a tiny bit. And it worked for the app’s projected readings, and also in reality.
Today I am going to be eating a bit differently, and see what happens. If my readings go up, then the next meal of a protein meal will bring them back down again.
I have been severely missing milk. Prior diabetes I used to love chocolate milk, and also unpasteurised milk direct from a farm near me.
I do not like almond and soy milk etc.
So last night I was researching some ways I could drink milk (I am assuming just drinking it straight will not help my sugars levels). I do have some low carb chocolate protein powder which I have not tried yet. I also have ground almonds and other pantry stuff. I do have some full fat sterilised milk. I brought some in case when my daughter was here she wanted milk in her tea, but she only drank black coffee. I do have double cream.
So, based on my research last night I will try something with the above.
And with the rest of the sterilised milk in the small bottle, I have enough to try a chia pudding. I have never done that before either.
So experimenting today.
We are promised thunderstorms today. They may or may not materialise. We know how good the Met office predictions are!
I love a dramatic thunderstorm!
Have a good day/Sunday.
Take care.
