Morning all. 7.9 this morning. Not feeling all that well so expected it. Thanks @PenguinMum, hoping the anti-biotics will soon kick in. Great that you are back on track @mojo37. Have a good weekend everybody.

Thanks Debbie, bit of a shock as it normally increases but the last two workouts it has dropped so its not a blip with the meter, it cannot be.

As expected after over indulging a rise in FBG 8.2 this morning and yesterday the same . Back on track now . BG now dropped to 4.9 after a good walk

Well done @mojo37. You deserve a pat on the back for taking swift action.

I do keep a food diary as I need to know my carb intake and what foods are good/bad. I find Myfitnesspal is a app great for tracking the good, bad and the ugly when it comes to food as well as measuring quantities wherever possible. Unfortunately though my BS readings do still throw up unexplained highs especially first thing which to me just seems to be a weird feature of my diabetes. It is not really a "pattern" but just an unexplained irregularity and looking at the results of others on here I am not alone in those irregularities. One day maybe I will crack the reason but until then I will continue to be baffled.

You will crack it @ChrisT2, but it takes time.

As a first step I'd ditch the watermelon, if I were you. Its high sugar content doesn't do us any favours.

Strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and black currants are safe options. Together with full-fat Greek-style yoghurt or double cream if liked (not Elmlea!), they make a pleasant way to round off a meal

Btw, there's a bumper crop of wild blackberries this Summer available for free!

Take care everyone and have the best day possible.

5.8 this morning. Cut the tea out last night and only had water after 7:00pm, w2ondering if that has had a positive effect.
