5.8 this morning and with my new continuos monitoring device ( freestyle ) i never got above 6 4 the whole day ands spent a lot of te day in the 4's i know it takes a whwile to make sure its properly calibrated but the finger stick tests were similar.

This amazing improvement came after a 40 hour fast with just three knorr stock cubes per day .

what a fine job you have done,I have still to try fasting more days on hardly any foods... I am not ready yet

8.8. No breakfast again!
Oh well, I better go and frighten the natives and try a 5 mile brisk walk.

7.9 ! Christmas pudding making doesn't lower blood sugar, clearly! And I didn't have a bite!

4.4/5.3 yesterday, this morning, wait for it, 8.8/8.3! Dawn Phenomenon? - hum Ensuing complacency yesterday and munching too many seeded oatcakes, or what I think most likely the orange end of my BD Autoshield needle was wet, indicating a leakage of insulin. I had anticipated this reading.

thanks freema, but two paces forward one step backwards.
I started the day with 5.9 yesterday, celebrated with 2 slices of toast then watched my new free style libre promptly hit 12 ! which was a salutary reminder of the problem though i did get back to 7.8 in two hours which ws reassuring.

Had a late dinner yesterday , mainly cheese, was pleased to see that had nothing like the same effect,but I';ve been in the 6's and 7's again since.
Basically the two smll slices of toast seem to havea t least 1 to 1.2 to my blood s gar all day !

This morning 7.4 - pickled onions and cheese for breakfast! - with a turkey thanksgiving tonight ! ho hum
maybe another 40 hour go is going to be needed tomorrow !

6.6 or 119 mg/dl , I thought it would be much worse today.

Tonight is a bad one. Frustration has driven me off the path. I beg forgiveness for my weakness.....

Today I managed to stay under 8!! When was the last time I could say that??

leslie10152 · Nov 25, 2016

Woke this morning and tested 5.9, the best I've had in quite some time.

If I can keep this trend for few more days I will get back into a good routine. There is nothing more frustrating than being on shift with a BGL of 24 and above.
