6.7 isn’t that bad the drs have told me to try and run mine a bit higher when fasting so anything between 5.5 and 7.0 I would be happy withA very annoying 6.7 this morning my highest fbg for some while.
Winner for kindness and sympathy to others. Personally, I think wine may lower bg 2 hrs after a meal then have a marked rebound next day. Gravy was an issue for me for a long time but we seem to have solved that now.Morning All. After a really lovely day yesterday with good numbers I woke to 7.1 at 0745. So annoying. I did roast beef and had only one tiny roast potato, no yorkshire and a couple of tabsp gravy. I am wondering if wine is affecting me adversely. I had three small glasses of Merlot. On Fri night I had a steak salad and two glasses dry rose and my FBG after 6.2. I havent been drinking wine for some time, my drink of choice is G&T which seems fine. Anyone else find wine a problem? Anyway small beer compared to some of your issues...@Ziggy2017 I am sorry you are having such a bad time and hope Freemans can come up with a solution quickly. To Karen and anyone else dealing with hypos utter respect and sympathy.
Have a good Monday everyone. Stay well, stay safe.
Thanks Ian. I as aware of gravy so had very little. Interesting about the wine rebound so I will be wary henceforth. Gin and slimline is always fine. Sometimes it just seems theres something unexpected waiting to ambush you. Still learning. From Nov 1 to my HbA1c mid Dec I need to be super careful.Winner for kindness and sympathy to others.

I know, it’s a good reading. Just for me usually signals eating a bit late the night before. Which I didn’t - no food since 1.30pm yesterday. The sooner I realise to expect no consistency the sooner I’ll stop being disappointedNothing wrong with 5.5
Now that is a definite truism - but as they say "it's the hope that kills you" You're doing swell ma'amI The sooner I realise to expect no consistency the sooner I’ll stop being disappointed
Emma you have made me think about the consequences of eating my biggest meal in the evening weekdays at 8pm. Not easy for me to get around but it may well be important for better numbers.

It definitely makes a difference for me - like you my evening meal tends to be half 7/8 and I get mid - late 5’s next morning. On nights where I’m going out or know it’s hectic and won’t have much time to eat unless even later I have a big salad for lunch at work to make sure I’ve had a decent meal and the next morning I tend to see 4’s, or very low 5 with the longer fasting time. And I can’t help that seeing a 4 at the start of the day just puts me in a better moodEmma you have made me think about the consequences of eating my biggest meal in the evening weekdays at 8pm.

Thanks @philchap1 it’s one of my flaws - less than perfection for myself drives me mad. Always has since I was a child - so that and being a control freak and having this crazy, does what it wants, diabetes is something I’m still trying to adjust to as don’t think I’ll ever feel totally in control of itDon't be too hard on yourself
