I always have a big mug of tea first thing then take water & a black coffee with coconut oil to the gym with me

Thank you - I will try the coconut oil but the coffee bit is a no no as I will get a migraine then lol But the tea yes

 

[Lainie71]

Drink more water? Electrolytes in the form of santander magnesium?
Just ideas

I will give it a try many thanks

6.6 this morning did not go over my morning reading yesterday and day before 5.3 in the afternoon, must be doing something right.

Not much more I can do about that.

I can't find the link/thread but recently read a good article by Jenny Ruhl suggesting low carb and medication - not insulin - had good long term success. Don't make the perfect the enemy of the good is a sound dictum, IMHO. Best wishes (from a creepy old man but I'm sure your mum warned you.)

I’ve stuck to 20g total carbs since coming of gliclazide last month, back on it for a couple of days to kickstart my pancreas again, now being sent for testing for MODY (4th time it’s slowed down since May) think it’s going to be ongoing

I have ordered the magnesium as I don't think I am getting enough. Hopefully it will make a difference as I have been very tired on and off recently and not sleeping well. My hair is growing back though at an alarming rate though after ditching the BP meds

 

[karen8967]

5.9 for me

 

[PenguinMum]

Morning All. Still on the slippery slope 6.9 an hour earlier, ie. same time last week.
Oh well. Happy Thursday everyone, nearly the weekend.

 

[JohnEGreen]

4.7 today good fbg I think but my day time readings are getting higher every day.

 

[garyclark82]

Back down to 5.9 this morning, so back in the green. A pretty good night's sleep too so fingers crossed we are back in the zone now.

Despite some numbers not being the objects of desire may I just say simply being here, checking fbg and making the effort means one thing. Now, Carry on Managing - starring Sid James

6.2 at 7:30am - think my metre is stuck on level sixes
