What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

When we’ve been abroad omelettes are made with powdered eggs, better off sticking to fried eggs, worth trying

Thanks for the advice but fortunately the chef makes a great flamboyant display of preparing and cooking the omelette mix with freshly cracked eggs and milk to order. However the only suspicious ingredients are the cooking oil and maybe milk, I never put milk in my own omelettes, just eggs so suspect that may be the culprit.
However despite the poor start, the whole day continues on a trend of bad choices of which I am totally to blame but more than happy to accept if it means enjoying a late holiday. Obviously I could avoid many of the offerings and starve myself but we have to live life and I know that back home things will be different.
In a way it just goes to show how harmful my life was before taking notice of carbs and their effect on BS and it also shows how even a minor "falling off the wagon" has a rapid effect on readings. Good luck to all in your own challenges.

Yesterday I drove from the east coast of England where I live across country to Swansea in order to see bob dylan tonight.

I’d packed a dozen boiled eggs some amazing jars of roasted peppers in virgin olive oil and some cheeses which made a fabulous non glucose spike lunch

However on arrival in Swansea I was tempted and succumbed to two glasses of red wine and an Indian meal. Of course I avoided the rice, the papadum , all of the obvious carby stuff etc.

Due to the true wonders of the libre I noted as my glucose levels rise from five to just over seven where they stayed for more than twelve hours.


The last time I ate at an Indian restaurant was pre diagnosis , ten years ago !

How was the concert I used to be fan of his music ?

7.2 at 5am and 7.1 just now. Bit of upheaval yesterday and I ate 2 Cadburys Hero's yesterday to compensate! There was method to the madness at the time

6.9 on sensor this morning .

In answer to mojo37


One massive collection of old stuff , cut up and reassembled , reimagined and collaged into something almost unrecognisable. Something new .

2 solid hours of music with not one word of introduction or explanation . No hello , no good bye.

No cameras or phones were allowed in the venue.


Just music
