Bumped into an old friend today we obviously talked insulin as he has not always been the best example low bg. I was moaning because after a football induced beer last week my bg was 9.7, 4 up on my normal. He is happy when his are below 17. Pits my 9.7 into context

It turns out I’m useless at keeping track of detail even when it’s important to me. It turns out yesterday WAS my third day in a row with FBG starting at under 6.
Today is day four - starting today at 5.4. This is new territory for me days before my 2nd month since diagnosis.
Generally happy that my underlying Hba1c must be continuing to nudge in the right direction.

Welcome to my world of waistcoat Wednesday woes. 5.9 today after all readings yesterday having achieved comparative escape velocity. Mrs P has had high temperature and general symptoms of unpleasantness so I'll put it down to that before panicking. At least something is coming home.

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all wearers of waist coats may your wishes come true.
A nice 6.5 for me this morning.
Have a good day folks, I'm not sure about my day, this morning is reasonably sorted till Mrs J arises from her pit / lair , but this afternoon is music lesson time and I've wandered off the score, not sure how the teacher is going to react, but in my true tradition it's tough hehehehe.
Have a good one folks
