Bureaucracy. Poor quality. Boredom
I lay in this morning and got up very late. Was expecting a higher number as the test 2 hours after dinner and before bed was 6.8. That higher figure was kind of expected as I had a bit of rice as a test... Not a happy result. This morning 4.7!!!
A few days earlier I had a small portion of pasta (high egg content) and that did not cause a big jump in my glucose test. In fact it went down from 5.9 that morning to 4.8 after diner so no big jump. I guess my body works better with some pastas than rice.

Anyway, enough of my rambling.... Hopefully my Freestyle Libre 3 will arrive tomorrow, and so I will be able to really work out what agrees with me and what doesn't. Also my fingers are getting a little sore!
