FBG of 4.6 this morning was 4.2 last night a little chocolate was in order.
Though must add that I have used Canesten HC cream for a short period with no ill effects my doctor was hesitant to prescribe it as had already taken me off my preventer inhaler as he thought I was getting too much steroids in my system on top of my preds.No it can depend on the potency of the cream and how long you are using it also or so I was told by my GP.
@rhubarb73 ive cheated the last couple of days too if I’m not eating lunch I don’t check my BGSo I've just managed 3 days in a row with all my daily tests averaging under 6 (pre and post meal). Today was a slight cheat though because I accidentally left my meter at home so missed a few tests.
That said at dinner (veg stir fry, with baked salmon) I had half a bag of prawn crackers (no rice or noodles) and plenty of sweet chilli sauce and a couple of squares of dark chocolate for my pudding...I only went up from 5.9 to 6.3....happy days.
Certainly an improvement today on yesterday when I just felt sluggish, tired and a bit miserable all day - a hangover from doing too much exercise and getting too much sun on Sunday I think.
Goodnight fellow finger-spikers.

Interesting and @Terrytiddy thank you for link I love a good lecture about cholesterol now and will watch it later - what am I like!Thanks @Terrytiddy. I am onboard with the view that LC may be fine for cholesterol and my own numbers support that. Fasting for longer periods may be less helpful - LDL and ratios are fine in my case but Trigs are not where I want them - fasting is not for me anymore. Trigs are fine in my case but are better without fasting so it goes. Other people may be fine so I just wondered as some things I read suggested that link i.e. fasting and even IF raising cholesterol.
Love your - hope it’s not too cool- @geefull so speaks someone who has lost a lot of her internal central heating or extra body fat layers! Iwhen bigger I never used to feel the cold just the heat. Mind you you are also much nearer the North Pole!good morning all
4.5 today
no idea what the weather is going to do today, it turned out hot yesterday but we managed a bit of gardening at mum's anyway. I'm doing an extra morning at the charity shop today to cover for holidays so I hope it's not too cool (no heating on at this time of year).
Hope your day is a good one
@ianpspurs I'm not a great fan of winter either
