FBG 6.7 at 7am this morning. It was 8.5 just gone midnight, I’d just finished baking.

Off on a long weekend to an island cut off by tide with 8 children & 10 adults, it’ll be a kind of cross between Enid Blyton and Bear Grylls. Debating on whether to test whilst away - food choices determined by others is always tricky.

6.9 this morning didn't sleep very well and really hungry so ended up getting back up and having a bread based snack .

I'll do that, thank you. I have always had pretty high readings as my management hasnt been what it should, but having changed my ways recently, i've been getting down to 6 - 8 first thing. Will report back tomorrow.

If that happens to me I have chunks of cheese or cooked ham or chicken (if I have any in the fridge) as this fills me up but doesn’t spike my blood glucose, plus it doesn’t cause a carb crash a few hours later. Might be worth a try?
