Thank you @Pipp ! After a lot of research and over thinking plus a lot of testing I think I know what is seeming to work. However it is still early days and will continue to try my best .

that’s what I like to hear! Time to play a game of mafia I think.

may the best man win

5.1 mmoles/l [ d5 @46gcarbs ]

6.3.... for me.

5.9 today, could be worse so that’s okay

5.4 for me

Morning All. 6.1 after first meal out in 18 months..steak salad & few skinny chips, well it was an occasion. @Umi2021 welcome to our corner you are off to a great start.

7.2 this morning, the latest in a series of 8s and 7s. Goes with the exam territory I suppose. Never mind, all back to normal next week. Hurray!

Good luck, stay focused, you’re doing great.

6.0 today, 5.8 yesterday and mid fives before that, I seem to be on an upward course. Better grit my teeth and hold on tight.

6.6 at 0330, that’s far too early to be headed to work.

12k run complete by 0600.

5.1 at 0900 on return from work as my helicopter for the day is sick !

@DJC3
When was your most recent (2nd?) covid jab?
I have had 4 weeks of raised fasting levels since mine. Hoping thathas come to anend now.

I think you may be right it’s been just over 2 weeks and it was about this time after the first jab that levels were high, and stayed high all day. It lasted a couple of weeks then so I shan’t worry too much about it now for a couple of weeks.
Hope yours carry on behaving.

last day of the holiday yesterday driving back home after an early checkout to avoid bad weather and so got a bit busy. The reading yesterday morning was 6.3 and then during the holiday I have not exactly been fasting to my normal routine so I just had food yesterday as if it was an eating day. The reading this morning was 6.7.

Sadly it has been hovering in 7.3 and 7.4 since then. It does not cross the threshold of 7.6 but stays in higher range which makes me nervous because on 10/05 I have my HbA1c and with what I have read the readings closer to the test tend to weigh more than those from earlier part of the 3 month period which might mean the HbA1c result might be a bit higher. It will still hopefully be nothing like past 10 years though and I have been seeing these bizzare trends only after the COVID vaccination even if there is a correlation to pollen count as well. Then there is this cough that Magic has which - based on search in Google and given his age - appears he might have the condition of what is called "Tracheal Collapse" - Vet appt has been booked. All in all I am not feeling all the happy about this entire situation - maybe it's just the fact that holiday is over.

Whatever it is, I hope everyone else is having a better day than I am.

FBG 5.7 this morning.
