6.5 this morning. yesterday I had one latte, a mince pie from the same coffee shop (£3! For a mince pie! What is the world coming to?) and some airfried chicken thighs and drumsticks sprinkled with barbecue seasoning. I was at 9.8 or 9.9 1hr after the mince pie then 7.something 30 mins later.

I was thinking/craving a mince pie!.... But on top of the stuffings, potatoes and parsnips tomorrow with the turkey... Not to mention the trifle.... I am going to limit the mince pie to half of one. I have made a Low carb 0 sugar trifle, but i suspect i will dig into the family trifle too!

........... i mean really? ....... What is life without the odd mince pie at Christmas? It is like not watching "It's a Wonderful Life"!
 
Been in the 7s in the mornings which has driven me to the point of madness to be honest. I am in the 5 region during the day which is fine but I just cannot shift the morning numbers. Being a control freak is not helping as I cannot control the DP! Oh well, it is what it is, too many late nights and trying to face the day just lying there in the mornings isn't helping me. I will be glad when its all back to normal - sorry to those that like Christmas but for me I will be stepping on my spin bike and cycling away the festive season to de stress :banghead:

Never a truer “phrase” written. However, never forget you’ve got your own plateau, for you, and that’s no mean achievement. Well done. I know you won’t give up and part of this is your relentless adherence to monitoring. For me, I’ve hovered around 7s and 8s, but today a 6, albeit a BIG Fat SIX.
 
Morning , merry Christmas everyone, stickies didn't last long 7.5 this morning and bed was on 5.5 a whole 2 points in the difference. @Lainie71 I'm the exact same. DP 's for me have been creeping up but day numbers are mostly in the 5's odd 6 . The roller coaster that is diabetes!. Enjoy your day folks
 
5.5 this morning. And to all those who celebrate the Christmas season - Christmas Blessings. :) Hope you all have a great day and blood sugars are just where you want them to be despite mince pies and other goodies. No mince pies for me, but have got some dark chocolate brazils lined up for later.
