Winner for keeping on despite the sombre mood. Hope you feel better soon.
Thanks. Sombre mood is not for the bug. 2 big family issues, one seems likely to end up very sombre indeed. I made Elsie a promise, good times and bad. She seems flighty if I'm honest but I was warned.:angelic:

5.1:) chuffed to mint balls even though I know its the readings throughout the day that count for more . But then again I don't test before and after meals because of the cost mainly. I do test if I get a bit woozy and that usually gives me a number in the high 3's or very low 4's .

Welcome @diabetesknow. Most of the rest of LC has become too hideous for me to contemplate. Lord knows I've tried.
5.7 this morning but fast running out of low carb ideas. Yea I know there’s loads out there but I’m fed up with all of it. I’m sure it will pass but just to console myself I’ve just had a tin of Heinz Tomato Soup and two slices of nimble & butter which tasted amazing. Awaiting the inevitable spike as we speak!

6.2 this morning. Had a couple of difficult days, and nights without much sleep so I’ll blame it on that and move on.

Too many to list here . . .
6.8 - Went to bed on a 10.3, there’s absolutely no rational reason for this, other than a 4 day delay of over-carbing! Anyway, back in the 6s this morning, so I can’t complain, I guess?

Morning all. The 6.9 Swipey showed could be right but not due to carbs - 12 yesterday, or weight 73 kgs (22 ish bmi) and way off my 6 year average. Worst course of action would be to fast or leave Elsie. Hug for sleepless nights and difficult days @DJC3 . Obviously travelling fro East to West unless we've caught it from you.:angelic:

Are you sure you rinsed your hands properly last night? I find some soap traces left on my hands can impact my blood levels.

5.2 this morning had a weird day yesterday blood sugar wise had a reasonable fbg then after my normal breakfast went to 9.2 then down to the sixes then up to 8.9 without me doing anything went on like that for the entire day. Now matter what I ate just kept bouncing between lows and highs.
