I'm afraid I gave into temptation and stocked up with reduced price mince pies and nuts.
But at least my fbg was lower than of late when I've been in the 7s, only 6.2 at 0740.
Will have to get more disciplined in the New Year.

7.2 again today then after an hour of snow shoveling it went to 7.7 yikes!!! Thankfully most of the Christmas treats are gone now. Shoveling in a -28°c windchill isn’t much fun. I’m really starting to dislike Winter.
Had another Creatine shake just now so my bg’s should hit the high 4’s in a couple hours.
Have a great weekend!!

Good Morning Everyone BG this morning 6.8
Still higher than I like but I know it was trying the mini mince pie that did it, my BG shot to 11.1 2 hours after eating it.
Not had a mince pie since I started losing weight 12 months ago,so trial and error! Mostly error! K
Don't be too hard on yourself K...it's all about trial & error...and you can identify the spike...sometimes we need to remember it's not necessarily the rise we should be concerned with in isolation...it's about how are bodies deal with reducing that rise...from 11.2 to 6.8 overnight is a good result in those circumstances...so its all good.;)
