Morning All. A 6.0 after waking from a high speed chase. Maybe I should have waited to calm down. Happy Sunday.
5.5 but it may have been caused by 1 glass too many of red wine.
Hugs for the early morning wake up alarm @hankjam but glad there was no medical emergency.
@PenguinMum the 15% error could still put you in the fives club. Sorry about the mad dream again.
@Saskia great fbg but looks like you and @ianpspurs are noticing the same thing - better fbg but a couple more kilos on the scales. I have found similar correlations at times which is why I asked @Pipp about her journey recently. It’s all a minefield.
Edit for spelling error tut.

Fbg is fbg wine or not so yay for you. Minefield? batpooh crazy is closer. This weird woe is like an odd cult. Lures you in, you know deep down it is distinctly orf but can't quite escape in case there may be some truth hidden within. Always feel someone, somewhere is laughing all the way to the bank at how gullible you are - probably dairy and livestock farmers plus their lobbyists.

4.4 this morning.
Agree with half of that but disagree with the other half. Phew! Back to normal for us!

6.1 on rising. Kept rising, so had a big cooked breakfast, sausage, egg, bacon , mushrooms, trying to fool that dawnP. Nope, think the low carb bread dunked in the pan fat was the culprit that raised it to 7.8, two hours later. Unless it was due to the morning ablutions, showering. As I am not sure which I will have to repeat the cooked breakfast experiment several times, leaving the ablutions until later.

Well, I wish I could have shared my 7 with Leicester City today, but it's OKane, @ianpspurs , just find me a cute aqua shirt-and-shorts outfit to wear after things have played out between me and my bathroom scales.

Ha, no. I am known to be a persistent little divil. Even when others doubt, or have had 3nough and moved on, just keep on keeping on. Guess I must annoy plenty of people .Sounds like a good plan. Don't you sometimes just feel like saying "Oh, dawn that P!"

Hi! Fasting for me this morning was 5.7 but that was after a walk. I'm happy with that as lately I've been a bit higher so anything in the 5s is good for me! But it likely was higher before I went for a walk unfortunately
