Good win but ........ what is the Z cars all about?

Z cars tune is originally a folk song about the city. Enough of the derailing, though.
A respectable 5.7 for me today.

10.6 today. I’m not too concerned as I’ve been experimenting with low carb (around 50-100g) as opposed to keto. The latter brings my BGS down quickly, but it makes me miserable and I struggle to sustain. Hopefully combining the former with Jessie Inchauspe’s hacks will pay dividends in the medium term.

5.0 this morning. Had an awful sleep last night - dosed off, then woke up cold - the window was open, couldn't get warm after that plus my busy legs syndrome kicked into play - finally gave up trying, so went to watch some TV for a while until I felt more relaxed. Think the busy legs may have been the result of the walking I did yesterday, went to Hamsterley Forest which can be quite hilly, I have never been any good at walking up hills, it didn't help that we were intending doing a 5 mile trail, strayed off track a little (in reality got lost) and ended up doing more like 7.5 which isn't so bad as at one point we found ourselves on the "Red" mountain bike trail which stretches 14 miles over pretty rough terrain, glad we didn't have to follow that one through to the end.

Before bed 5.2 ... fasting 7.6 ughh. Could have been the tasty but fattier dinner then expected or the “Eton Mess” or both. But still a good night.. i’ll behave today.

Morning All. 6.8 so nice respite from the 7s. Out to visit son today and lunch at his local pub which does a good roast and happy to swap pots & yorkies for extra veg.
Have a great Sunday everyone.

8.1 - back down from the 10s which is great. Plenty of exercise yesterday which helped.

Also this means I’ve halved my fasting blood glucose in one week!

 

[Ryhia]

5.5 this morning.

 

[Pipp]

Stuck on 5.7. No complaints.

 

[mojo37]

7.5 even though it's not a great number it's the best in a while

 

[JohnEGreen]

Eton Mess? We've got one squatting like a malevolent Giant Cane Toad in Downing Street/Party Central. Does Albo fancy running us remotely - Ardern turned us down already? My Food Fairy makes a really good LC Eton Mess - Stanley didn't. @PenguinMum yay for 6s and enjoy your pub lunch even if Spurs knock some of shine off? @mojo37 for lower fbg. Go Team D and Spurs.

Waaahhhh...! Just read this.

@ianpspurs not sure Albo is much better!

Before bed 7.3 fasting 7.3. I might not like it but hey at least I’m consistant. A much nicer 5.8 by lunch.
